While you may have expected Oscars news to reign supreme over the weekend, the acclaimed ceremony had to share the spotlight with the Duke and Duchess of Sussex. Harry and his pregnant wife Meghan jetted off to Morocco on Saturday, Feburary 23, to begin an engagement-packed tour of the North African country. Of course, the photos from their first day did not dissapoint, providing a wonderful dose of royal eye candy for fans. Scroll through to see all the day one highlights!
Better late than never!
The dazzling duo arrived in Morocco on Saturday evening a little later than expected for their first day. According to Kensington Palace, their delayed Royal Air Maroc flight was late landing in the UK, pushing back their schedule by a couple of hours.
Roll out the red carpet
Once they landed, Harry and Meghan were greeted by the British Ambassador of Morocco and his wife at Casablanca airport. The intention of the visit is to highlight Morocco's focus on women’s empowerment, girl's education, inclusivity, and the encouragement of social entrepreneurship.
Red Hot Duchess
Pregnant Meghan was a lady in red as she touched down in Morocco alongside her sharply-dressed Duke. She stole the show as she stepped out of their ride in a va-va-voom red dress by Valentino. Meanwhile, Harry was suited up in his usual dapper fashion. He walked the red carpet alone so he could fulfill his duty of inspecting the guards of honor from the Auxiliary Forces.
