Meghan Markle and Prince Harry safety fears as royal couple fly into Morocco city rocked by violence days before visit
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are said to have been banned from walkabouts over safety fears after riots in Morocco
RIOTS in Morocco’s capital Rabat have sparked security fears ahead of a visit by Prince Harry and Meghan.
The Duchess of Sussex, 37, who is seven months pregnant, is due to fly in on Saturday with Prince Harry, 34, for a three-day tour.
It is thought “exit plans” have been drawn up to ferry them out of harm’s way or even out of the country, should trouble flair up once again.
A source told the paper: “The decision was taken to not include a walkabout in Morocco over fears for the duke and duchess’s safety.
“Both Meghan and Harry draw huge crowds wherever they go in the world and they have a real propensity to get in among the crowds, interacting with them, very closely.
“Due to the nature of the protests across the country this was strongly advised against which they both understood.”
Royal security officers also reportedly asked for security to be bolstered during the trip.
And MI6 requested an intelligence report from Moroccan authorities after the riots, according to the Mirror.
As part of their trip, Harry and Meghan are due to visit the town of Asni, close to the Atlas Mountains, to visit a project called Education For All.
They are also due to spend Monday in Rabat visiting an equestrian centre, attending a cookery demonstration and touring the Andalusian Gardens.
The Sun Online has contacted Buckingham Palace for comment.
The tour comes days after Meghan enjoyed a baby shower in New York with pals including Serena Williams.
