Here’s why Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are postponing their USA tour
And it all makes sense.

And it all makes sense.
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are currently undertaking their first official long royal tour, journeying through Australia, New Zealand, Fiji and the Kingdom of Tonga together.
To say that they have been a hit would be a huge understatement, with the royal newlyweds making viral news every day, from their sweet comments about their future arrival to their warm greetings with members of the public.
From Meghan staying up late to bake banana bread for their host family to Prince Harry having his beard stroked by a very young fan, these two might have accomplished one of the most successful (and friendly) royal tours ever.
It’s hardly surprising therefore that there is a high demand for the royal couple to visit other countries too, with many questioning when a tour around the United States would take place.
Well, according to TMZ, a royal tour of the USA was supposed to take place in Spring 2019. It has now however been postponed.
But why the push back? Well, for their baby!
