The Duke and Duchess of Sussex have delighted their royal fans with a series of public displays of affection while in Morocco
The royal couple has often broken the Queen’s untold rules regarding showing little to none tenderness to a beloved one in public
But in Morocco, Meghan and Harry didn’t just hold their hands as they usually do but also often hugged, touched and joked with one another
The parents-to-be were spotted sharing a tender moment from the very instant they landed in the North African country
Moments before stepping out of the car that took them from the airport to the residence of the British Ambassador to Morocco, Meghan put a hand on her husband’s leg
On the following day, while visiting Education For All, a boarding house supporting female education in rural and isolated areas of the High Atlas Mountains in Morocco, Prince Harry made a cheeky joke about Meghan’s pregnancy

And on the last day of their tour, Meghan voiced her admiration and affection for Prince Harry
As the couple was tasting some of the country’s signature dishes cooked by chef Moha Fedel, a shy child paid a compliment in Arabic to the duke
Translating for him, the chef said: “He finds you a very good person.” Meghan, putting an affectionate hand on her husband's arm, said: “He is a good person
” The duchess was also seen giggling at Harry’s passion for the food he was trying
As the duke took a mouthful of Amlou, a blend of almond butter, argan oil and honey, she said: “Big bite!” This royal tour is set to be one of the last public appearances of Meghan before her maternity leave
The Duchess of Sussex’ firstborn is due next spring, and Meghan herself said during a visit to Birkenhead in Wirral, Merseyside she believes the baby will arrive towards the end of April or the very beginning of May
The fact that the Duchess of Sussex doesn’t have any other flights planned in the foreseeable future also hints at the fact she is approaching her 37th week of pregnancy
According to the NHS guidelines, “most airlines will not let you fly after week 37 of pregnancy”, as it increases the risk of getting blood clots
