Nigeria was just the beginning for Prince Harry and Duchess Meghan.
In a new interview with People, the Duke of Sussex noted his and his wife’s interest in continuing to travel for their different projects and charities. “There’s only so much one can do from home and over Zoom, so we look forward to traveling more because the work matters.”
He added, “Whether it’s the Archewell Foundation, Invictus, or any of our other causes, there will always be reasons to meet the people at the heart of our work.”
While Harry did not disclose where their next adventure will take them, we know the 2025 Invictus Games will take place in Vancouver and Whistler, British Columbia, in Canada, from February 8 to 16 of next year. And Harry and Meghan will surely be there to support the athletes.
The prince also opened up to People about his and Meghan’s recent trip to Nigeria, which saw them promote mental health initiatives via the Archewell Foundation, meet with military veterans, and speak about the importance of sport ahead of the Invictus Games, among many other activities. It also brought us numerous memorable sartorial moments courtesy of the duchess.
“It is hugely important for us to meet directly with people, supporting our causes and listening, in order to bring about solutions, support, and positive change,” Harry told the outlet of the Nigeria visit.
The West African country joined the Invictus Games for the first time in 2023. “I’m so happy with the growth of Invictus and to include Nigeria,” Harry said. “You know what Africa means to me over the years. It is a very, very special place, and to be able to include Nigeria now [in the games]—I’m very happy.”
