Meghan Markle can be seen smiling alongside a private chef in a never-before-seen photo taken during the Sussex’s 10-day African royal tour in 2019.
The photo was shared by a South Africa-based luxury service company on their Instagram page @conciergecapetown back on October 10, but has only recently surfaced.
It shows the Duchess of Sussex, 38, posing alongside Chef Lee – who was one of the cooks who looked after her, Prince Harry and their son Archie during their time overseas.
Alongside the snap, the caption reads: ‘Throw back to last week, our team assisting The Royal Family with their trip in Cape Town. Private Chef and Concierge Services. Chef Lee cooking up some great food for the family.’

Under the private chef section, the website states: ‘Relax and allow the chef to do all the shopping, cooking and serving of meals.
Tailor-made to suite every client’s needs and requirements. Menus are compiled based on the client’s request, meal times determined by the client themselves. Interactive cooking, wine and beer tastings highly recommended to.’
In the unseen snap, Meghan can be seen wearing the same black jeans and white linen J.Crew shirt that she donned for a later engagement with Harry on Monwabisi beach.
There, the couple visited Waves for Change, an NGO, which supports local surf mentors to provide mental health services to vulnerable young people living in under resourced communities.
However, the duchess appears to have made a few tweaks to her outfit – by adding a brown belt and ditching the blue denim jacket by Madewell she wore to the beach.

During the royal tour, Prince Harry, Meghan Markle, and Archie, then five months, visited Angola and Malawi, and undertook a short working visit to Botswana, between September 23 and October 2.
The tour marked the Sussex’s first official as a family – following the birth of their son on 6 May 2019.
In a particularly significant and poignant journey, the Duke of Sussex returned to Angola to see first-hand the legacy of his mother the late Diana, whose visit to Huambo in 1997 helped raise awareness of the threat posed by landmines to communities and livelihoods.
The couple also brought Archie along to meet Archbishop Desmond Tutu and Mrs Tutu at their legacy foundation.
