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.
