Earlier this month Prince Harry, 32, hit out at the media for subjecting Ms Markle to a “wave of abuse and harassment”, issuing a rare but strongly worded statement.

The prince will visit six countries where the Queen is head of state
Antigua and Barbuda, Barbados, Grenada, St Kitts and Nevis, St Lucia, and St Vincent and the Grenadines
He will also tour the Commonwealth nation of Guyana
The visit will mark the 50th anniversary of independence for Barbados and Guyana
In Antigua and Barbuda Prince Harry will also mark the 35th year since independence
A Kensington Palace source said Prince Harry had been “looking forward to the tour for many months” and was “honoured” at being asked to represent the Queen.
“While this tour will necessarily have a more formal feel, he’s pleased that he’ll have plenty of opportunities to meet people from all walks of life. There should be plenty of fun along the way.”
