Little Archie was the star of the show when the Sussexes met Archbishop Emeritus Desmond Tutu on Wednesday.

The royals were welcomed by Nobel Peace Prize winner Tutu and his daughter, Thandeka Tutu-Gxashe on a visit to their legacy foundation in Cape Town.

Inside, the group sat down around a coffee table laden with an impressive display of snacks.

The group shared a laugh over the number of cameras clamoring to get shots of the young royal. The UK's PA Media news agency reports that Harry said "he is used to it already."

"He's an old soul," Meghan said of four-month-old Archie.

Tutu-Gxashe joked: "You like the ladies," to the baby, adding: "He's going to be a ladies' man."

During the meeting -- which lasted roughly half an hour -- PA Media reports Tutu said he was "thrilled" by the "rare privilege and honor" of meeting the young British royals.

Wednesday's meeting was not the first time Prince Harry has met the 87-year-old retired archbishop.

In 2015, he presented the South African statesman with the Insignia of an Honorary member of the Order of the Companions of Honour on behalf of the Queen, recognizing his services to UK communities and International Peace and Reconciliation. 

Tutu, the first black archbishop of Cape Town, received the Nobel Peace Prize in 1984 for his efforts to end apartheid.
