Harry and Meghan's Nigerian Visit Highlights Local Fashion and Culture
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, arrived in Lagos, Nigeria for a three-day visit to promote mental health among soldiers and empower young people. During their arrival, they were treated to traditional Nigerian dancing at the airport, with Meghan wearing an aso oke, a traditional Nigerian fabric, wrapped around her waist. The couple also landed in Abuja, the capital city, on their first visit to Nigeria. Meghan was spotted wearing a beige-colored maxi dress designed by Heidi Merrick, which was subtly named "Windsor" after the royal family's connection. The Duke and Duchess of Sussex will meet with wounded soldiers and visit local charities during their stay in Nigeria. This visit is part of the Invictus Games community, which Prince Harry founded to support wounded veterans.
What you guys are doing here at Giants of Africa is truly amazing.
We're so honored to be with you. We have got to acknowledge those amazing dance moves! My husband was excited to jump up!
The power of sport can change lives. It brings people together and creates community and there are no barriers, which is the most important thing.
