Prince Harry, Meghan Markle make first ever visit to Nigeria

The Duke of Sussex, Prince Harry and his wife, Meghan Markle lands in Nigeria for the first time on Friday morning, ahead of their 72-hour tour.

The Duchess of Sussex arrived at Heathrow yesterday to reunite with her husband at the airport’s VIP Windsor Suite.

They both boarded a British Airways overnight flight to Abuja, which experienced a slight delay due to the scheduled pilot falling ill, necessitating a replacement to be quickly arranged.

Seated in the first-class section of the Boeing 777, the couple, visiting Nigeria together for the first time, were separated from other passengers by a curtain.

This arrival follows Harry expressing his delight at returning to the UK this week to commemorate the 10th anniversary of the Invictus Games. He had been in London since Tuesday, participating in events related to the competition, including a thanksgiving service.

Upon their departure from the aircraft, the couple shared smiles with cabin crew, and Nigerian officials welcomed them at Abuja Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport. They were then whisked away in a blacked-out minibus waiting on the jetty through a side door.
