The trip will be a special one for the Duke of Sussex, as South Africa was a place his late mother Princess Diana visited many times, with rumours suggesting that much of the trip will be following in the Princess of Wales footsteps.

Meghan Markle and Prince Harry’s press team will also be joining the pair, as they play a key part in managing the media aspect of the royal tour. Considering the Duke and Duchess of Sussex are the most active royal couple on social media, it is no wonder that they have surrounded themselves with a stellar team, some of which they will be taking with them to Africa. 

Press secretary Sara Latham will also be joining the team as well as two other press officers and one social media officer.

Clara Madden will be travelling with the Sussex fmaily as their chief project coordinator,  and she’ll be accompanied by their program coordinator, a logistics coordinator, a personal assistant, and a director of royal travel.

It is not always the case that a representative from the royal travel office accompanies Meghan Markle and Prince Harry on a royal tour, but according to Town and Country the Sussex’s trip to Africa – and the subsequent logistics – requires it this time around.
