The Duke and Duchess of Sussex were treated to a very special parting gift from King Mohammed VI of Morocco as they wrapped up their three-day visit of the country. The king lent Harry and Meghan his fabulous, vintage Mercedes 600 SEL car to transport them in style to their final engagement of the tour – a visit to the king's residence in Rabat.

The couple were granted a private audience with the king in his 1950s Arabic-style country mansion on Monday evening. They were greeted by the king's son, 15-year-old Crown Prince Moulay Hassan, who led the Duke and Duchess into the house. The king's sisters Princesses Meryem and Hasna and his brother Prince Moulay Rachid made up the royal party. Meghan, who is seven months pregnant, looked radiant in a cornflower blue, printed dress by Carolina Herrera. She paired the vibrant custom gown with a satin clutch and nude heels, and had her hair swept up into her trademark tight bun.
