"It's for when we have a big party," Khadeja Oukattou, one of the housemothers, says. "Now she is pregnant we do the henna to keep her happy with with the baby. For good luck.

Natural henna, typically brown and derived solely from plants, and with no added chemicals, is safe to use during pregnancy, according to experts. Black henna, however, contains a dye called para-phenylenediamine (PPD) and is not safe.

The Moroccan NGO "Education For All" builds boarding houses for girls ages 12 to 18 to ensure that girls from rural communities in the High Atlas Mountains region are able to access secondary education.

And the visit will give the girls "more "confidence" and enable more young girls to be helped by the NGO, Oukattou says. "They give all the love."

A mother from Northern Ireland — who now lives in Marrakesh, 30 miles away — brought her two girls to see the couple. Clare Minejam, who is a doctor, and Rania, 5, and Rayhana, 2, waved Moroccan and British flags as the couple stride towards the pink stucco building. "Most Moroccans know who they are — it's a Facebook world and people watched the wedding," says Minejam.

"Women have traditionally played a vital role in Moroccan society. A focus on improving access to secondary education for girls, especially in rural areas, and better vocational training for women is recognition that improved education, releasing a woman's human growth and developmental potential, is essential for sustainable economic growth," he said.

Silver craftsman Sakhi Driss had a photo of Harry's father, Prince Charles, on display from when the Queen's son visited his store in Fez. Driss said of Harry, "He asked when the visit was and where was the picture taken."
