Meghan Markle and Prince Harry have stepped back from their roles as senior royals. However, during their time in the job the pair carried out much international travel. The Duchess of Sussex is no stranger to globetrotting, however.
The Duchess used to share her advice on her now-defunct lifestyle website The Tig.
She would let her fans into the travel secrets she – and those she knows – use.
One tip involves a slightly more unusual activity.
Meghan revealed in a post on The Tig that putting antibacterial gel or cream on the inside of your nostrils can help limit the spread of germs on a plane.

The former Suits star claimed this was a travel hack she picked up from actor Leonardo DiCaprio, 45.
“[Leonardo] puts a little Neosporin on a cotton swab and coats the inside of his nostrils,” she wrote on the site.
“Not only does it create a barrier for germs, it also lubricates the skin in the nose.”
Meghan added: “That’s important because when the skin cracks, germs can come a running in, so the coating of the Neosporin doubly protects you.”
Meghan wrote on The Tig: “I’m no germophobe, but when I get on a plane I always use some quick hand wipes or a travel sanitizer spray to wipe it all down: that includes the little TV, the service tray, and all the buttons around your seat.”
The Duchess will also pack tea tree oil. “The one thing that I cannot live without when I’m travelling is a small container of tea tree oil,” she told Allure magazine in 2014.
“It’s not the most glamorous thing, but if you get a cut, a mosquito bite, a small breakout, no matter what it is, it’s my little cure-all.
“It’s inexpensive, it’s small enough to carry on, and I bring it with me all the time.”
