The Duke and Duchess of Sussex landed in Nigeria on Friday, May 10, launching a three-day private visit to the West African nation, where they met with wounded soldiers and visited local charities.
The Sussexes visited Nigeria as “part of the Invictus community,” Air Vice-Marshal Abidemi Marquis, director of sports for the Nigerian Defence Headquarters, said during a media briefing.
Their first engagement was an event hosted at a school in the Nigerian capital, Abuja, where Meghan told students: “I see myself in all of you.”
The Prince launched the Invictus Games in 2014 - a sports event for military personnel wounded in action.
Last year, Nigeria debuted at Prince Harry’s Invictus Games, winning gold and bronze medals and becoming the first African country to participate in the event.
Following the event in Dusseldorf, Germany, Nigeria’s Defence Minister, Mohammed Badaru Abubakar expressed interest in hosting the games.
