Speaking to The Sun, a source said: As far as those on the ground in Zambia were concerned both Meghan and Harry were going.

But Meghan is exhausted and, understandably, expressed serious concerns about travelling to a country with even the smallest Zika threat.

In the end it was agreed Harry would go it alone and Meghan could rest-up and spend some quality time with Doria, who is down in the UK visiting.
