During a two-day official visit to Morocco, Prince Harry and the Duchess of Sussex went to a town in the Atlas Mountains to visit a girls' boarding house that provides education to young women from rural areas. When one of the women congratulated Meghan on her pregnancy, Harry pretended to be shocked about the news.

His wife pretended to go along with the joke, responding with "Suprise!" Prince Harry then asked Meghan if the baby was his, smiling in hopes of letting people know that he meant it as a joke.

Social media users were not pleased with the joke made by Harry, saying that it is insulting to implicate that Meghan would have a child that isn't his.

It turns out; the Prince was talking about plastic pollution, explaining how the use of plastics is destroying the world today.

“It does seem to me insanity if we are going to bequeath this completely polluted, damaged and destroyed world to them. All grandchildren deserve a better future.”

With the Royals doing their part in trying to advance different issues, there is no doubt that they will inspire others to do the same, and eventually make the world a better place for the next generation.
