The Duke and Duchess of Sussex have been mobbed by fans in Nigeria after arriving in Abuja this morning. The pair posed for selfies, played with schoolchildren and joked with their teachers as they kicked off their three-day tour.
The trip follows Prince Harry’s brief return to the UK where he celebrated the 10th anniversary of the Invictus Games – but did not see King Charles owing to a diary clash.
Harry and Meghan are in Nigeria for a whistle-stop tour to promote the games in Africa – and are expected to visit a school, meet injured service people and attend basketball and polo games before attending an evening gala.
The Duke of Sussex, 39, returned to the UK on Tuesday afternoon for a service at St Paul’s Cathedral to celebrate the Invictus milestone. A few miles away, Charles welcomed guests at the first Buckingham Palace garden party of the year.
Meanwhile, the Prince of Wales has said his wife Kate is “doing well” following her cancer diagnosis as he visited the Isles of Scilly on Friday.
William was told about a new health and social care facility being built on Duchy land near the hospital. He said George, Charlotte and Louis were “very jealous” of his trip, and said he may bring them to Cornwall later in the year.
