Prince Harry and Meghan will visit Morocco just weeks before giving birth

The Duchess of Sussex doesn’t have long to wait until she welcomes her first child with Prince Harry, however the royal couple will enjoy one final overseas tour before they become parents.

It was confirmed by the palace overnight that, despite the duchess being heavily pregnant, the parents-to-be will journey to Morocco later this month.

Harry and Meghan, who tied the knot in May last year, will spend three days in the north African country, with the visit beginning on Saturday 23 February, before they return to the UK on February 25.

A brief statement was released on the matter, which said: “The Duke and Duchess of Sussex will visit Morocco from Saturday 23rd February to Monday 25th February 2019.

“The Duke and Duchess’s visit is at the request of Her Majesty’s Government. Full details of the visit will be announced in due course.”

It will be the couple’s second overseas tour since they became husband and wife last year, and their final long-distance trip before they become parents to their first child.

Last year the royal pair travelled to Australia for an official tour, which also saw them visit New Zealand, Fiji and Tonga.

Despite Meghan’s growing baby bump, the couple have not scaled back their royal engagements and have been pictured out a number of times in recent weeks.

Most recently, the duke and duchess attended The Endeavour Fund Awards, which took place in London on Thursday evening, in honour of wounded, injured and sick members of the Armed Forces community.

Loved up as ever, they arrived hand in hand and in style for the annual even, with Meghan completely stealing the show in a stylish monochrome outfit by Givenchy.

The duchess, 37, looked sensational in the floor-length black skirt with a split up the side, ending around her waist and coupled with a loose white shirt.

What are your thoughts on this story? Do you think the duchess should be travelling this late in her pregnancy?
