Prince Harry, Meghan arrive Nigeria on three-day visit

Prince Harry and Meghan, the Duchess of Sussex, will arrive in Nigeria today on a three-day private visit.

Prince Harry and Meghan are no longer working royals, having stepped away from the role four years ago, but for the next several days, the Sussexes will be on a trip that looks similar to their royal tours of the past.

Harry and Meghan, who now live in California, are both visiting Nigeria for the first time.

The royal British couple is visiting Nigeria on the invitation of the Chief of Defence Staff (CDS), General Christopher Musa.

Their three-day visit will have them interacting with not only military officials but also locals, including women leaders.

On Friday, Harry and Meghan plan to meet with the Chief of Defence Staff, as well as visit a school together. Harry will also meet with injured military personnel.

On Saturday, the couple plans to attend a training session for Nigeria and a nonprofit organization that is affiliated with the Invictus Games, a Paralympic-style competition for wounded service members that Harry founded in 2014.

Meghan is also scheduled to co-host an event on women in leadership with the Director-General of the World Trade Organization, Dr Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala.

On Sunday, their final day in Nigeria, Harry and Meghan will attend a basketball clinic and a “cultural reception,”. The couple will also attend a polo fundraiser for Nigeria.

Just as they did during their days as working royals, Harry and Meghan will be accompanied on the trip by a pool reporter and photographer.
