		</div><p>There were hugs and presents for Britain&#8217;s Prince Harry and Meghan Markle when they embarked on an impromptu walkabout in Cape Town’s historic District Six neighbourhood.</p>
<p><!--Ads1--></p>
<p>Harry and Meghan were embraced by 81-year-old Somaya Ebrahim, who was in the crowds when the duke’s grandmother the Queen first visited the city with her parents and sister in 1947.</p>
<p>The former District Six resident, who with thousands of others was forcibly removed to a township with her family during the Apartheid era, asked the couple: “Where’s Archie?” and was told the four-month-old baby was sleeping.</p>

<p>Others who lived through the infamous event said the duchess understood their plight better because of her mixed race heritage.</p>
<p>And the duchess appeared visibly moved as she listened to the plight of one elderly couple who described how they were ousted from their home, which was later pulled down.</p>

<p>Hours after declaring herself a “woman of colour” during a visit to a Cape Town township, the duchess, accompanied by the duke, visited the District Six Homecoming Centre after their walkabout.</p>

<p>The visitor attraction, part of the nearby District Six Museum the royals also toured, offers a place for former residents to meet and cook as a means of keeping the spirit of the area alive.</p>
<p>Fairuz Achmat-Basardian, 52, who was six when her family was forced out in 1971, said after the royal visit: “It means a lot to us all that Meghan is mixed race. She understands better what has happened to us.”</p>
<p>Patience Watlington, 77, who had made the couple a mutton and tomato stew, said the duchess had sung the praises of slow cooking.</p>
<p>“She just said slow cooking is very nourishing,” said Ms Watlington.</p>
<p>The duke declared the stew delicious.</p>

<p>“It is amazing food. If we had time I would eat all of it.”</p>
<p>The couple tasted a butter bean stew made by Asa Salie, 67, and Shahnaz Arnold, 57</p>
