Prince Harry and Meghan Markle met with people and discussed topics they’re passionate about during their Nigeria visit.
Prince Harry and Meghan visited Nigeria earlier this week.
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle took the opportunity to fully immerse themselves with the vibrant culture and hospitality of Nigeria during their recent visit.
Despite the formalities, Harry was keen to engage with locals and advocate for issues and causes close to both his and Meghan’s hearts.
Speaking to PEOPLE, he said: “These trips are about us being able to go out and go and focus on the things that mean so much to us. And being able to be on the ground, to us, is what it’s all about.”
Meghan echoed her husband’s sentiments, stating: “It’s really meaningful. Just being able to connect to people…that’s what makes it special.”
Prince Harry and Meghan met locals in Nigeria.
The theme of connection was also evident as Harry made a heartfelt visit to a military hospital in Kaduna, where he met with service members recovering from injuries sustained in the line of duty, reports the Mirror.
In moments reminiscent of Princess Diana’s empathetic engagements in Africa, Harry spent time conversing with the veterans at the facility, encouraging them with the words “Be Strong”.
Harry, drawing from his military background and passion for sports, inspired veterans during a visit to a military hospital.
He shared with the press: “That experience of knowing what life, post-injury, is like gives people so much hope. And hope, hope, hope is a huge part of this.”
Harry and Meghan visited projects close to their hearts.
In a touching extension of their visit, Harry and Meghan also spent time at Nigeria Unconquered, a charity linked to Harry’s Invictus project, which champions the recovery and rehabilitation of injured service personnel through adaptive sports.
The couple’s compassionate engagements follow Harry’s solo trip to the UK to celebrate the 10th anniversary of the Invictus Games.
The 39-year-old Royal returned to British soil to honour the event’s legacy and support its athletes in the adaptive multi-sport event.
Amidst hopes of a family reconciliation, Harry’s visit did not include a meeting with King Charles, who is currently facing a health challenge.
Due to prior commitments, the King was unable to meet his son, leading to speculation about the ongoing Royal rift.
