“For reasons of security, the participation of the Minister for Development and Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess in the conference must regrettably be cancelled,” a statement read, according to the website.

The statement didn’t expand on the reasons why the trip was cancelled however, last week people in Senegal were warned of a potential terror threat in the area.
