Prince Harry<\/strong><\/a> and Meghan Markle<\/strong> <\/a>have arrived in Nigeria for their first official tour in the African country.<\/p>\n

Harry, 39, and Meghan, 42, began their trip with a visit to the Lightway Academy in Abuja for a tour of the school and a meeting with local students. The Duke and Duchess of Sussex both dressed casually with Harry opting for a tan button-down and matching khakis, while Meghan sported a peach dress with gold jewelry. Upon their arrival at the school, they were also given wooden bead necklaces.<\/p>\n

The royal couple\u2019s visit to Nigeria celebrates the 10th anniversary<\/a> of the Invictus Games, which Harry cofounded to honor wounded military veterans. (Harry previously served in the British Army for 10 years.)<\/p>\n

Harry had kicked off the Invictus anniversary earlier this week in London, giving an impassioned speech at St. Paul\u2019s Cathedral on Wednesday, May 8. He was joined by several members<\/a> of his mother Princess Diana<\/strong>\u2019s family, however, most of his paternal relatives, including father King Charles III<\/strong>, did not attend.<\/p>\n

Charles, 75, recently returned to his public-facing duties in April after taking a reprieve to undergo cancer treatment. The king was diagnosed with an undisclosed form of cancer in February, shortly before he and Harry slowly started mending their relationship. (Harry and Charles had been estranged since 2020 when the duke and Meghan stepped down from their duties as senior working royals and moved across the pond to California.)<\/p>\n
