AceShowbiz - Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are wrapping up their 16-day royal tour in Australia, Fiji, Tonga and New Zealand. The Duke of Sussex turns to be a photographer as he takes a picture of his pregnant wife during their final day in New Zealand.
Shared on Kensington Palace's official Instagram account, the rare personal pic sees the Duchess cradling her baby bump while standing under the trees of the Redwoods Forest in Rotorua, New Zealand. The soon-to-be mom is seen looking casual in a black padded jacket with matching pants and flat shoes.
Alongside the sweet photo, the royal couple writes an equally sweet message about their very first tour as a married couple. "A message from The Duke and Duchess of Sussex: 'Thank you New Zealand for the most wonderful last week of our tour. It has been a privilege to meet so many friendly Kiwis,' " the caption reads.
It continues, " 'Australia, Fiji, Tonga and NZ - we leave feeling inspired and reminded of how every single one of us can make a difference.' " At the end of the caption, it added a quote by one of the most famous figures of women’s suffrage movement in New Zealand, whom Meghan also referenced during a speech earlier this week. "' The rain that refreshes the parched ground, is made up of single drops' - Kate Sheppard," it read.
Prior to this, the account also shared a slew of photos during Harry and Meghan's hike. One of the photos saw the soon-to-be parents walking hand-in-hand in the middle of the forest, while another photo featured them walking through a suspension bridge.
The account wrote in the caption, "At the beautiful Redwoods Forest in Rotorua, home of treewalks, mountain biking and 100-year old trees -- The Duke and Duchess of Sussex visited the spectacular Redwoods Treewalk in Rotorua, a series of suspension bridges traversing the gaps between its majestic trees, each with their own living deck to ensure viewing platforms adapt to the trees' rapid growth without any harm. #RoyalVisitNZ #NewZealand #Rotorua."
