► The Duke and Duchess of Sussex were all smiles as they began the final day of their Africa tour, which has been overshadowed by Harry's scathing attack on the British tabloid press.

The couple looked relaxed when they arrived in a Johannesburg township to learn about an ambitious project, launched last year by South Africa's President Cyril Ramaphosa, which aims to tackle the critical issue of youth unemployment by creating one million new work opportunities in the next three years.

Meghan and Harry travelled to Tembisa township a day after the duke released an unprecedented statement heavily criticising certain sections of the press for conducting what he called a "ruthless campaign" against his wife.

The duchess smiled broadly when she was greeted by Melony Campbell, from the British High Commission, who introduced the couple to Tashmia Ismail-Saville, chief executive officer of the Youth Employment Service (YES).

During their final day in Johannesburg the couple also met Graca Machel, widow of Nelson Mandela, a national figure Harry met during a 2015 visit to South Africa.

Harry gave a speech in the open air and, with Meghan beside him, talked about how his father the Prince of Wales brought him to Africa in the months following the death of his mother Diana, Princess of Wales, in 1997.

He said: "Ever since I came to this country as a young boy, trying to cope with something I could never possibly describe, Africa has held me in an embrace that I will never forget and feel incredibly fortunate for that.

"Every time I come here I know that I'm not alone. I always feel wherever I am on this continent that the community around me provides a life that is enriching and is rooted in the simplest things - connection, connection with others and the natural environment.

"And as I raise my own son, I'm going to make sure that what I've learnt here - the value of the natural world, the value of community and friendship - is something that I can pass on to him."

The Sussexes are also attending a creative industries and business reception at the residence of Britain's High Commissioner to South Africa Nigel Casey.

The tour comes to an end when the duke and duchess meet South Africa's President Cyril Ramaphosa, and First Lady Dr Tshepo Motsepe in Pretoria for a private audience.
