It’s back to business for the Duke and Duchess of Sussex as they touch down in Morocco for their final royal tour before baby arrives.

The royal couple arrived hand-in-hand to the airport in Casablanca on Saturday night local time, where they were greeted by the British Ambassador to Morocco, Thomas Reilly, and his wife, Alix. The tour will see them travel to the Atlas Mountains and the capital, Rabat.

Meghan wore a red Valentino dress with an elegant embroidered cape detail, accessorising with a pink clutch, matching gloves and heels.

According to the Telegraph, the Duchess, who will have “medical provision” at more than seven months pregnant, will get a henna tattoo and eat recipes from her cookbook, as the country uses the high profile of the Royal visit to bolster its credentials on the world stage.

The tour comes just days after the Duchess of Sussex celebrated her baby shower with friends in New York City. Prince Harry also had a busy week, surprising a group of London school kids during their spring “half term” holiday and joining Royal Marines at their base in Bickleigh.

Their tour will officially end on Monday with a series of visits centered around issues close to their hearts: women’s empowerment, girls’ education, inclusivity and encouragement of social entrepreneurship.
