Meghan & Harry’s Honeymoon with a Twist of Antenatal Anticipation
Two of the world’s most beloved royals are heading to Fiji and Tonga but with one extra mission on their checklist: avoiding a Zika infection while the expectant Duchess is pregnant. Meanwhile, the news that the couple is expecting their first child has already been on tongues (and headlines) worldwide.
Why Fiji and Tonga?
- These islands promise clear skies, sunshine, and no’zee‑spray in the middle of a Zika-flooded region.
- It’s a perfect mix of royal duties and a safe getaway for the New Mom‑to‑Be.
- The duo consulted doctors beforehand and got the green light to keep the trip on schedule.
Plotting the Safe Route
- Prince Harry will be the one strolling through Solo-i-Suva’s forest for the Commonwealth Canopy unveiling, while Meghan will stay clear of any mosquito-prone pockets.
- They’ll spend three days in Fiji and one day in Tonga. That’s three Aussie nights for the couple; maybe a beachside recovery for the baby soon.
The Sweetest Welcome
Joining them in the Admiralty House reception in Sydney was Governor General Peter Cosgrove and his wife. They handed them a fluffy kangaroo and cozy Ugg booties. Meghan laughed, “That’s so cute, it’s our first baby gift!”
Giving the Word to the World
- In a post on social media, Kensington Palace proudly declared Meghan’s pregnancy: “Expecting a baby in the spring of 2019.”
- It highlighted the public’s love since their May wedding and expressed proud jubilation across the globe.
More Soon‑to‑Become-Grandma Love
Meghan’s mom, Doria Ragland, “very happy” about becoming a grandmother, so you can expect a flood of mail‑boxes, birthday cards and maybe a recipe for the best Aussie crumb cake!
Keep Calm & Know the Plan
Officially, no changes to the itinerary mean the royal couple will jet around tropical picnics while keeping Covid‑19 vaccine boosters in mind, and most importantly, a shield against Zika. Prestige, safety, and a future little one—what more could a queen and duke ask for?
