All the Photos of Prince Harry and Duchess Meghan From Their Trip to Nigeria
The duke and duchess kicked off the weekend with a cheery school visit
Prince Harry and Duchess Meghan covered a lot of ground on their multiday trip to Nigeria to promote the Invictus Games.
On Friday, the couple started their morning in the West African country’s capital, Abuja, with a visit to a school, which has launched a mental health program led by the nonprofit GEANCO Foundation. At the school, Meghan and Harry were greeted by cheers and a dance by the students—and, following some touching speeches, the couple joined the dancing as well. “We’re so honored to be with you. We have got to acknowledge those amazing dance moves! My husband was excited to jump up!” Meghan joked.
On Friday afternoon, Harry met with injured service members at a military hospital.
On Saturday, Harry and Meghan attended a training session for charity organization Nigeria: Unconquered, and a reception hosted by the country’s Chief of Defence Staff in honor of military families. That afternoon, the duchess cohosted an event for Women in Leadership with Dr. Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, director-general of the World Trade Organization.
On Sunday, the duke and duchess attended a basketball clinic with Giants of Africa, a cultural reception, and a polo fundraiser for Nigeria: Unconquered.
“It is a complete honor to have our first visit to Nigeria. Be here with all of you. We believe in you. We believe in your futures. We believe in your ability to continue to tell your stories and to just be honest with each other. There is no need to suffer in silence,” Meghan said during Friday’s heartwarming school visit.
