They told People: “Last year, for Harry’s birthday, Meghan recreated their Botswana camping adventures in their backyard.

“It’s a place that means so much to them – and to Harry in particular – so Meghan wanted to bring that happy place to him on his day so she set up a tent, got sleeping bags, cooked dinner and recreated Botswana where they fell in love.”

Speaking about the trip in their engagement interview, Prince Harry said the couple – who were secretly dating long distance at the time – were together in Africa for five nights.

He said: “I managed to persuade her to come and join me in Botswana. We camped out with each other under the stars. She came and joined me for five days out there, which was absolutely fantastic.”
