Has Harry rounded off holiday with Meghan with trip to the Victoria Falls?
PRINCE Harry is thought to have taken his girlfriend Meghan Markle on a romantic trip to the Victoria Falls in Zambia, one of the seven ‘natural wonders’ of the world.
The fifth in line to the throne is said to be ending a three-week holiday to Africa by visiting what many consider an idyllic honeymoon destination.
The couple have been in Botswana since early August, where they celebrated Meghan’s 36th birthday.
After enjoying a BBQ party at a friend’s ranch, they headed to the Okavango Delta in Botswana, travelling around by mokoro, a type of shallow wooden canoe propelled through the swampland by pole.
The pair shunned luxury safari lodges in favour of fly camping, which involved setting up their tents in areas off the beaten track, with only the prince’s taxpayerfunded police protection officers for company. According to several local newspapers, the 32-year-old prince and his US-born girlfriend crossed over from Botswana via a small border post in recent days.
Now the couple, who have been dating for just over a year, are said to be at Victoria Falls. The waterfall straddles Zambia and Zimbabwe, on the Zambezi river, and is one of the largest in the world, plunging 354ft.
Security officers and government officials in Zambia were ‘put on alert’ to expect the royal and his guest, who was keen to keep his visit as low key as possible. He is due back in UK next week to mark the 20th anniversary of Princess Diana’s death.
