Johannesburg - Britain's Prince Harry is

due on Saturday to meet Angolan President Joao Lourenco in

Luanda, as the first week of his family's southern Africa tour

draws to a close.

Harry, his wife Meghan and their four-month-old son Archie

landed in South Africa on Monday for their first overseas tour

as a family, which has featured engagements including visits to

poor townships and a meeting with Nobel Peace Prize laureate

Desmond Tutu.

But Harry has travelled alone to Angola, where he visited a

landmine clearance project that featured in some of the most

famous photographs of his late mother, Princess Diana.

On Saturday, he will meet Lourenco in the morning in the

presidential palace, before visiting a hospital to see the work

of a project spearheaded by the first lady, Ana Dias Lourenco.

The project focuses on preventing the transmission of

HIV/AIDS from mothers to their babies in a country where high

fertility, a young population and lack of awareness are driving

infection rates up.

On Sunday the prince will move on to Malawi, again for his

first official visit, though he has visited the country several

times privately in the past.
