The Duke and Duchess of Sussex, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, have embarked on a significant three-day tour in Nigeria, aimed at promoting the Invictus Games.
Their arrival on Friday, May 10, marks a pivotal moment in their advocacy for wounded and sick service members and veterans, a cause close to Prince Harry's heart as the founder of the Invictus Games.
The Invictus Games serve as a beacon of support for the rehabilitation of military personnel who have endured adversity in their service.
This tour holds special significance as it extends its focus to include Nigerian soldiers who have been engaged in a prolonged conflict against Islamic extremists for 14 years.
Upon their arrival, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle were warmly welcomed at Lightway Academy in Abuja, a school supported by their Archewell Foundation.
The vibrant welcome included a heartfelt banner proclaiming "We Are Honored To Have You!" and a captivating performance by local singers and dancers, eliciting joy and appreciation from the community.
During their visit, Meghan Markle, aged 42, shared updates about their children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet, while engaging with students at the academy.
The couple's interaction with students was marked by warmth and genuine connection, as they graciously accepted beaded necklaces as tokens of appreciation.
In a heartwarming exchange, Prince Harry, aged 39, engaged with children aged two to five in a kindergarten class, showing a keen interest in their favorite activities.
With radiant smiles, the royal couple embraced the spirit of friendship and celebration, fostering unity and empowerment among the students gathered at the school.
