The trip has yet to be officially confirmed by the Palace, who recently issued a statement saying: “Any future plans for The Duke and Duchess are speculative at his stage. No decisions have been taken about future roles,” the statement said. “The Duke will continue to fulfill his role as Commonwealth Youth Ambassador.”

However, it makes sense that Harry and Meghan would want to take their newborn to Africa, as, after all, the royal couple famously fell in love during a trip to Botswana.

“I managed to persuade her to come and join me in Botswana and we camped out with each other under the stars,” Harry said in his post-engagement interview with Meghan. “She came and joined me for five days out there, which was absolutely fantastic, so then we were really by ourselves, which I think was crucial to me to make sure we had a chance to get to know each other.”

Harry also included Africa in Meghan’s engagement ring (the main stone in Meghan’s ring is sourced from Botswana, while the diamonds surrounding it are from the jewelry collection of Harry’s mother, the late Princess Diana), and the pair honeymooned in East Africa following their star-studded royal wedding.
