Meghan Markle has set tongues wagging by not accompanying her husband Prince Harry to Africa.

Find out why the pregnant Duchess of Sussex has controversially pulled out of the trip in the video below.

This week Prince Harry will complete a two day tour of Zambia without his new wife who has opted out of the trip.

The expectant father will coincidentally be in Africa – where it's believed the couple fell in love while on a trip to Botswana – for the one year anniversary of their engagement announcement on November 27.

The news of Meghan pulling out of the Africa trip comes fresh after news broke that the royal couple are set to depart their Kensington Palace cottage.

The married couple will move into a 10-room mansion in Windsor as they prepare for the birth of their first child.

It is expected Meghan's mum Doria will move in to the new home to help with baby duties.
