Prince Harry and Meghan Markle touched down in Botswana today, on her 36th birthday, to take a romantic safari trip together. The couple looked happy, relaxed and pleased to have landed on the continent which means so much to not only Harry, but his brother Prince William as well.

Note: There have been several comments to our initial tweet sharing the details that Meghan and Harry arrived in Africa together, specifically relating to the words we used while sharing the news. We obviously know that Africa is a continent, and one that is made up of numerous vibrant, dynamic and different countries. Our choice of words was done in haste while trying to share news of the couple arriving as the news was just breaking. A lesson learned in the importance of checking the words in all tweets – especially rushed ones- to avoid any confusion, unintended insult or perceived ignorance.
Good luck to Meghan. Enjoy your African holiday with your favourite person. Forget about all the haters.
The Sun has them landing in Southern Africa, and Kenya is not in Southern Africa. Plus the Nairobi airport is huge and you don’t walk across the tarmac there unless you’re arriving from some remote location on a regional flight. So – I think you’re wrong about them landing in Kenya!
There is no picture appearing unfortunately.
Thanks, Anna! It is fixed now.
Yay!!! I hope they have a great time!
For most of us, we don’t realize that Africa is bigger than China, India, Europe, and the USA COMBINED. Even “Southern Africa” is vague, unless “South Africa” is meant, but there is certainly a lack of information on which to base their location. All of these reports of Meghan (and her mother) being in London and Harry being in Italy and then Meghan being back in Toronto—and no photos—was frustrating but it was so exciting to see not only a photo finally but one of the looking SO great together! The reports keep mentioning the place they are staying but not by name. It would be great to know as some point so we could see what the area looks like. So happy they are so happy!
Now the reporting says Meghan and Harry are in Botswana. I think the confusion came because it was reported that they were going where William proposed to Kate, but now it is clear(er) that William and Kate went to Kenya instead. I hope Meghan comes back with a big diamond and emerald ring. 🙂 She seems like such a treasure.
I just ordered my JCrew lace up sandals!! I ordered both the black and brown, so I’ll have to see which pair I like best!!
I would have liked to see her hat on her. 🙂
I bet it looks cute!
Us too… Fingers crossed!
How exciting! We can’t wait to hear how you like them – they are the perfect summer sandal!
My JCrew lace-up sandals arrived!!! I’m wearing the cedar color right now and am undecided as to keeping the black pair. The foot bed is pretty stiff and hard and the little loops that keep the ties in are pretty stiff too (wearing one bandage to prevent a blister) I’m hoping that with wear they will soften up and be my new favorite sandal.
Hi MM!! Loving your new blog layout!!
