Prince Harry and his wife, Meghan Markle, embarked on a three-day tour of Nigeria, arriving on Friday. They were greeted with enthusiasm upon their arrival for the Invictus Games, a sporting event for wounded, injured, and sick servicemen and women, both serving and veteran. During their visit, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex also visited a school in Abuja, where they emphasized the significance of mental health and well-being for young people.
Speaking to students, Prince Harry shared his personal experiences with grief and loss, recalling the challenging phase following the death of his mother, Princess Diana. He encouraged the students to seek support and not suffer in silence when faced with emotional difficulties. Meghan Markle, in her address, expressed her admiration for the students and shared her reasons for choosing to marry Prince Harry, highlighting his intelligence and honesty.
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s visit to Nigeria comes two days after the Duke made a rare visit to the United Kingdom (UK) to celebrate the 10th anniversary of the Invictus Games but didn’t meet King Charles owing to a diary clash. Their presence in Nigeria has been met with great excitement, and they have received praise for their commitment to raising awareness about mental health issues.
