|Rabat, Morocco (CNN)The Duke and Duchess of Sussex have started a three-day visit to Morocco at the request of the British government, days after Meghan celebrated her baby shower in New York.
The Royal couple landed at Casablanca Airport on a commercial flight from London on Saturday evening, ahead of a whirlwind visit to the North African nation that is aimed at boosting ties between the UK and Morocco.
