Prince Harry wants answers over Fiji security scare as Meghan Markle’s is told to ‘take care’ by doctor
His concern comes after pregnant Meghan was rushed from a busy street market
PRINCE Harry is expected to demand an explanation over the security scare in a Fijian market yesterday which saw Meghan Markle's walkabout cut short.
The Duke of Sussex is reported to have been "deeply concerned" after security whisked away the pregnant Duchess just minutes into the visit.
One onlooker reportedly said Meghan, 37, appeared to "look concerned" before entering the market yesterday and “looked really disengaged, not her usual self at all”.
She then apparently whispered something to one of her aides before being led from the market, flanked by her new female head of security and a Fijian security chief.
A royal source told that Harry, 34 - who was at Colo-i-Suva rainforest during the scare - will have been “deeply concerned”.
It's claimed that the prince is expected to demand an explanation.
It's reported that Kensington Palace staff had spoken with Meghan’s close protection officer for a debrief.
The source added: "The event was cut short due to the large number of people within the market, which made the event uncomfortably busy. There were much bigger crowds than people had been anticipating."
Kensington Palace declined to comment on the reports.
Photographer Ian Vogler - who was at the market - told the paper the "hot and humid" market was "crowded, really cramped... There were a lot of people in very close quarters to the Duchess."
He added: "The alleyways were narrow and I could understand why Meghan’s protection officers would judge it an unsafe environment, especially with her being pregnant."
The couple, who are on a 16-day official tour of Australia, Fiji, Tonga and New Zealand, touched down in Tonga today where they attended an official reception and dinner at the palace in Nuku'alofa.
It's that while at the reception, Meghan met a Russian doctor who told her to "take care" after travelling so much during the tour.
Mr Justice Charles Cato, a New Zealand judge, and his doctor wife Miriam met with the couple at the reception, and said Meghan said she was feeling "very well".
Mrs Cato said: “As a doctor I was a bit concerned about her taking all these long trips. I’m a mother of two. I know how it feels. I asked her to take care of herself. She promised to do so.”

Yesterday, Meghan - who has worn 25 outfits in ten days - was being given a tour of Suva Market to speak to female vendors about women’s empowerment when her bodyguards intervened.
Her visit was scheduled for 15 minutes but she lasted just six in the sweltering hot tent and fans who had waited for Meghan voiced their disappointment at not getting to meet her.
But Kensington Palace insisted Meghan met with everyone she was scheduled to at the market.
The Duchess has pulled out of a number of engagements this week, blaming tiredness and the toll of her pregnancy.
She did not attend the cycling competition at the Invictus Games on Sunday and also missed a trek across Fraser Island.
