When Meghan Markle announced her pregnancy earlier this month, there was one question on everyone’s minds – will the Duchess still travel to the Zika-affected areas listed on her itinerary?

After seeking medical advice, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex chose to stick to their royal tour plans as they touched down in Fiji yesterday.

But while the tour went ahead, there are still some precautions in place.

And according to experts, Meghan is even employing some clever fashion tricks to lessen the risk of Zika.

Speaking to People, Professor James G. Logan, Head of the Department of Disease Control at the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine, explained how Meghan is minimising the risks.

"I'm sure that they will have sought travel health advice in terms of protective methods in terms of mosquito bites," he explained.

"Wearing long sleeves and baggy clothes will help," he added.

"Mosquitos can even bite through jeans so if the clothing is loose it's much harder for the mosquito to bite."

Since arriving in Fiji, the Duchess has opted for long-sleeved dresses and looser fitting outfits.

Both Fiji and Tonga are known to have a “moderate” Zika risk.

Official advice says: “Pregnant women should consider postponing non-essential travel until after the pregnancy.”

According to The Mirror, a royal source said the couple “sought out top medical advice” when they planned the trip.

Speaking to Mamamia, Professor Scott Ritchie from the College of Public Health at James Cook University said he suspects the “risk is very remote” for Meghan.

“The Zika outbreak was in 2015-16,” he said, “and I suspect little if any Zika remains.”

He stressed, however, that it would be important for the expectant mother to “avoid mosquito bites”.
