Fitzwilliams said: "I think they will be very satisfied with it because it was a private visit that had all the trappings of a royal visit.

"So in reality, people conflated the two, and it had enormous press coverage.

"They had huge international coverage so what this gives them is an opportunity to build the value of their brand internationally by doing this again.

"Now that they have beefed up their communication team, I would expect them to do this again.

“Several top names have already visited Ghana in recent years from Ed Sheeran, Naomi Campbell and One Direction’s Liam Payne.

“Idris Elba, who DJ’d at Harry and Meghan’s wedding is a regular too, he is part-Ghanaian and loves spending time ‘back home.’”

The source added: “Harry certainly won’t be short of people to show him around and they will certainly roll out the red carpet for him, drafting in some of the finest Afro-beats performers to welcome him and his family.

“So perhaps it is only a matter of time before Harry and Meghan come out, and sample the famous jollof rice!”LATEST
