Prince Harry and Meghan's Heartwarming Visit to Nigeria

During their trip to Nigeria, Prince Harry and Meghan, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, received a warm welcome, despite not being "working royals" for a few years.

The couple, who are now California residents, were gifted traditional Nigerian necklaces of wooden beads upon their arrival. They were also treated to a dance routine by students at their first stop, the Lightway Academy in the capital city of Abuja.

Exploring Nigerian Roots

Meghan, who recently revealed on her Archetypes podcast that she is "43% Nigerian" according to a genealogy test, expressed her desire to "dig deeper" into her Nigerian roots. She shared a touching moment with the students, expressing her sense of connection with them.

Invictus Games Foundation

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex are in Nigeria at the invitation of the country's military to discuss the future work of the prince's Invictus Games Foundation. The charity focuses on helping wounded servicemembers and veterans through sport, and Nigeria collaborates with Invictus in similar efforts.

Prince Harry's visit to Nigeria comes shortly after his solo trip to London to mark the 10th anniversary of the Invictus Games. Speculation arose about a possible reconciliation with his royal family in Britain, but no meetings took place, as both his brother, Prince William, and his father, King Charles III, were unable to meet with him. King Charles III is currently undergoing treatment for an undisclosed form of cancer, but has resumed some public duties.
