Prince Harry took Meghan Markle to Botswana on holiday in 2017


The beautiful Southern African country of Botswana- a landlocked country in Southern Africa-, is Prince Harry's "second home", where  likes to romance his ladies.

Recall that before Prince/Meghan’s visit to Botswana in 2017, Harry had taken his three previous girlfriends - Natalie Pinkham, Chelsy Davy and Cressida Bonas- to the country at different occasions.

Prince Harry , 33, and US actress Meghan Markle,36, whose marriage holds on Saturday May 19, 2018, got their engagement ring made by Cleave & Co.

The ring consists of three diamonds, two of which were taken from the jewelry collection of Harry’s mother, Late Diana, Princess of Wales.

It is interesting to note that the large central stone was sourced by Harry in Botwana. The couple spent time together during a trip to that country for Markle's 36th birthday.

Reports show that Prince Harry had quietly visited Botswana before his recent visit with Markle, in connection with his work as patron of the charity Rhino Conservation Botswana.

Harry had during his trip to Africa said, “I am incredibly fortunate to be able to call it my second home.

This reporter also gathered that shortly after their wedding on Saturday, the couple are reportedly considering a honeymoon in Namibia- another Southern African country- a country that offers incredible views of Namib desert along her Atlantic Ocean coast.

It was gathered that the month of May is always the best time of year to visit the Namibia.

Meghan Markle, who is now made the first ever Duchess of Sussex, is known to be keen on conservation and wildlife and holds a particular fascination for elephants, which is an indication that she would be frequenting Africa countries after her wedding.

Markle is also likely to love Namibia’s dramatic landscapes, which range from desolate deserts to shimmering salt pans, which have been used as the backdrop for numerous big budget blockbusters including 2001: A Space Odyssey (1968), Mad Max: Fury Road (2015) and Flight of the Phoenix (2006).
