According to The Sun, Mrs Samodien said: “They mentioned Archie and said how wonderful he is and he’s a wonderful traveller.

Family friend Waseefa Majiet added: “Meghan was speaking about motherhood and the transition and said that Archie was a good traveller.

“She said the transition was quite smooth because he’s an easy baby and he was an easy traveller. Harry said he slept on his chest almost 11 hours during the flight.”

Archie looked adorable in light blue dungarees, a white top and white socks.

Meghan, meanwhile, looked effortlessly stunning in a patterned £368 Club Monaco dress with her brunette locks tied back into a bun.

On Tuesday, the couple gushed about being parents during a visit to Monwabisi Beach, where they learned about the work of Waves For Change, an organisation which trains and supports local surf mentors to provide mental health services to young people.

They took part in a meditation session called a “power hand” exercise with members of the organisation, during which the couple complimented each other’s parenting skills.

Training and partnerships manager at Waves For Change Ash Heese revealed Meghan described Harry as the “best dad”.

She told reporters: “We were invited to share our strengths and identify our strengths. Meghan looked a little bit hesitant so one of our coaches suggested that Meghan’s dancing was her strength.

“She laughed and said I don’t think so but parenting is a new strength that she and Harry are learning and developing. She then said that he is the best dad and he said no, she is the best mum.”
