Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's official royal trip to Morocco finally drew to a close with the royal couple's meeting with King Mohammed VI in Rabat on Monday.

The Duchess of Sussex dressed up for the special occasion and donned a beautiful blue printed gown by Carolina Herrera. She carried a small nude clutch and wore nude pumps. The mum-to-be wore her hair in an elegant chignon and completed the look with simple pearl earrings, as reported by People.

This was the third outfit worn that day by the Duchess who is currently over seven months pregnant with her and Prince Harry's first child. According to royal reporter Chris Ship, the couple's audience was taking place "after much on/off deliberations," believed to be because of King Mohammad's wife Princess Lalla Salma's absence from public life in recent months. 

The pregnant Duchess started off her day in a casual outfit, emerging in a black and white striped shirt, black jeans, and a green jacket to visit the Moroccan Royal Federation of Equestrian Sports with Harry. At the venue, the royal couple learned about the organization's programs to support children with special needs.

The couple also managed to visit a cooking class where underprivileged children learn to make traditional Moroccan recipes. Later in the day, Meghan, who is due to give birth in late-April, was seen wearing a flowing black dress paired with a white blazer and statement gold earrings.

Meanwhile, Prince Harry opted for khaki pants, a suit jacket and a white button-up shirt sans tie. The royal couple was visiting a market in the Andalusian Gardens, where the Duke and Duchess also met with young social entrepreneurs and artisans.

The royal couple arrived in Morocco on Saturday and, as per reports, decided to stay on privately for an extra night at the end of the visit. They are slated to make their return to the UK on Tuesday, instead of Monday afternoon. The couple's trip comes after the duo faced backlash over Meghan's recent 7,000-mile private jet journey to New York for a lavish baby shower thrown by her close friends.

The Duchess' $500,000 New York trip has led to accusations of hypocrisy on the couple's part because of her anti-poverty campaigning, as well as Prince Harry's climate change crusade.

People were not only upset with the royal couple over their extravagant expenditure, but the duo also managed to attract the wrath of environmentalists because the couple has campaigned on climate change on many occasions in the past.
