Meghan Markle and Prince Harry's plans for upcoming tour to Morocco revealed
The couple jet off on Saturday (23 February)
Meghan Markle and Prince Harry are fitting lots into their three-day trip to Morocco and one of the activities includes a cooking class!
Before Prince Harry and Meghan welcome their first child together they are jetting off on another official royal trip abroad.
Meghan has been in New York enjoying an unofficial baby shower and after a few days relaxing with her girlfriends, she’ll be back to work on Saturday as she flies to Morocco with her husband.
The couple were asked by Her Majesty’s government to take the trip and although Meghan will be around 30 weeks pregnant when she flies the couple have agreed to go.
Their trip comes four decades after the Queen visited the country as part of her two-week-long tour of Italy and North Africa.
While in Morocco Harry and Meghan have a busy schedule but luckily some of the visits align perfectly with their interests.
