The Duke and Duchess of Sussex's Nigeria tour: in pictures
Meghan and Harry are spending three days in the African country in celebration of the 10th anniversary of the Invictus Games
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex have been spending time in Nigeria as part of a three-day tour, in celebration of the 10th anniversary of The Invictus Games.
The couple were personally invited on the trip by Nigeria's chief of defence staff, General Christopher Musa; they are not there in any official capacity on behalf of the royal family or the UK. The tour schedule, which started in the bustling capital of Abuja, has been jam-packed, including a visit to primary and secondary school Lightway Academy, where they met with students, and experiencing the work of Nigeria Unconquered, a charitable foundation dedicated to aiding wounded, injured, or sick servicemembers.
Naturally, the trip also provided the opportunity for Meghan to showcase a multi-day "tourdrobe", the likes of which we haven't seen since the couple stepped down as senior working royals in early 2020 – and she hasn't disappointed, in a series of summery maxi dresses, elegant tailoring and striking separates.
