Meghan Markle and Prince Harry are already in Nigeria and their visit to the African country is already leaving great memories.
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex arrived in the country on Friday, May 10, and since then have completed several scheduled activities in an agenda that closely resembles a royal schedule.
The first stop was at the Lightway Academy in Abuja, where they met with students of all ages and announced a new partnership between their Archewell Foundation and the GEANCO Foundation.
“We are honored to have our first visit to Nigeria be here with all of you. We believe in you, we believe in your teachers and we believe in your ability to continue to tell your stories and to just be honest with each other,” Meghan said in part. “There is no need to suffer in silence.”

On this first day, the prince will meet with wounded service members at a military hospital. Then on Saturday, he and the Duchess of Sussex will attend a training session for Nigeria: Unconquered, which will be followed by a reception hosted by the Chief of Defense Staff in honor of military families.
Meghan will also co-host a Women in Leadership event with Dr. Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, Director General of the World Trade Organization.
The couple’s activities will continue on Sunday with a basketball clinic with Giants of Africa, a cultural reception and a polo fundraiser for Nigeria: Unconquered.
