The reason Prince Harry will be leaving pregnant wife Meghan Markle
They’ve been back at their Kensington Palace home for less than a month after their first international tour together, but Prince Harry will soon be leaving his pregnant wife Meghan Markle to go on another trip.
On Monday, Kensington Palace announced the news the Duke of Sussex is set to travel to Zambia next week.
While he’ll only be there for two days, the 34-year-old Prince is set “celebrate UK-Zambia relations” and also attend a series of events on behalf of the Queen’s Commonwealth Trust.

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex’s royal tour
Last month, the royal couple embarked up a gruelling 16-day tour of Australia, Fiji, Tonga and New Zealand, meeting with locals and carrying out engagements at the Invictus Games.
During those two and a half weeks, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex had a total of 76 engagements scheduled in, but pregnant Meghan understandably cut back on a few of those appearances to rest.
While they were in Dubbo, NSW, Meghan admitted to being a “bit tired” and that she was “running on adrenaline”.
