Prince Harry and Megan could be invited on a fresh unofficial royal tour of another Commonwealth country, according to sources.
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex are in talks to visit Ghana after a successful three-day tour of Nigeria.
The West African country’s officials and leading icons are keen for Harry and Meghan to fly to Accra, the capital of Ghana.
Charles and Camilla visited Ghana during a four-day royal tour in 2018 where they were joined by the King’s brother, Prince Edward.

“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 told The Daily Mirror: “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.
