Meghan Markle and Prince Harry hold hands as they reunite on final day of Africa tour: Photos!

Reunited and it feels so good!

After several days of separation as the Duke of Sussex made solo trips to several other African countries, Meghan Markle and Prince Harry stepped out together once again in South Africa on Wednesday for the final day of their 10-day royal tour of Africa.

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex were all smiles while visiting the township of Tembisa near Johannesburg as they walked hand-in-hand, which is the same way they started their royal tour in Cape Town. While there, they met with youth entrepreneurs and heard about measures being taken to address the country's struggle with youth unemployment.

Meghan opted for a white shirt-dress for the occasion, while Harry donned his usual uniform of khakis, a white button-down and a blue linen blazer.

Both royals gave speeches during their first engagement of the day.

"I have often talked about Africa as my second home, and I’ve often been asked why I love it so much," Harry said. "Well, over these last nine days I have been trying to put my feelings and experiences into words, which is not easy!"

"I know that there are daily struggles that most of us couldn’t begin to imagine. Yet I have seen strength, resilience, a sense of hope and empathy that I can only aspire to replicate," he went on. "Ever since I came to this continent as a young boy, trying to cope with something I can never possibly describe, Africa has held me in an embrace that I will never forget, and I feel incredibly fortunate for that."

"And as I raise my own son, I want to make sure that what I’ve learned here -- the value of the natural world, the value of community and friendship -- is something that I can pass on to him," Harry added.

"On our last day here in South Africa, thank you all so much, As my husband said so eloquently, you really have been such an inspiration for us," Meghan said in her speech. "And being here today and every level of what we’ve seen, the holistic approach to how you’ve energized and mobilized each other to be part of a bigger change."

Their outing came less than 24 hours after Harry released a firm statement defending his wife against the "ruthless" treatment of her by the British tabloids, announcing that they're pursuing "legal action" against the Mail on Sunday for publishing a private letter than Meghan had written her father, Thomas Markle.

"As a couple, we believe in media freedom and objective, truthful reporting. We regard it as a cornerstone of democracy and in the current state of the world -- on every level -- we have never needed responsible media more," the statement began. "Unfortunately, my wife has become one of the latest victims of a British tabloid press that wages campaigns against individuals with no thought to the consequences – a ruthless campaign that has escalated over the past year, throughout her pregnancy and while raising our newborn son."

"Though we have continued to put on a brave face -- as so many of you can relate to -- I cannot begin to describe how painful it has been. Because in today’s digital age, press fabrications are repurposed as truth across the globe. One day’s coverage is no longer tomorrow’s chip-paper," Harry continued. "Up to now, we have been unable to correct the continual misrepresentations - something that these select media outlets have been aware of and have therefore exploited on a daily and sometimes hourly basis."
