The Duke and Duchess of Sussex arrived in Nigeria on Friday, commencing a three-day personal trip to the West African nation.

Their itinerary includes meetings with injured soldiers and visits to charitable organizations, according to officials. Air Vice-Marshal Abidemi Marquis, the director of sports for the Nigerian Defence Headquarters, mentioned during a press briefing that Nigeria is now a part of the Invictus community, prompting the royal visit.




Their inaugural activity was a gathering held at a school in Abuja, where Meghan expressed solidarity with the students, stating, “I see reflections of myself in all of you.”

Who’s Prince Harry?




Prince Harry, officially known as Henry Charles Albert David, was born on September 15, 1984, in London, as the second son of then-Prince Charles and Princess Diana.

He entered a world of royal privilege but also media scrutiny, with his grandmother, Queen Elizabeth II, reigning at the time.




Diana, determined to provide a normal upbringing, ensured Harry and his brother William experienced life beyond palace walls. They frequented amusement parks, fast-food joints, and other typical childhood spots.

Despite his parents’ strained marriage, Harry exuded a happy-go-lucky demeanor.

Starting school wasn’t easy for Harry, as documented by photographers capturing his first day in September 1987. Yet, he flourished, attending Wetherby School and later Ludgrove School alongside William.

The family’s separation in 1992, followed by divorce in 1996, marked a tumultuous period, but Harry found solace in outdoor activities and charity work with both parents.

Harry’s Military Life

In 2005, Harry embarked on a military career, enrolling at the Royal Military Academy Sandhurst and joining the Household Cavalry. His dedication to service led him to Afghanistan in 2008 and again in 2012, this time as an Apache helicopter pilot.

Throughout, he remained committed to charitable endeavors, establishing initiatives like Sentebale to support those affected by the AIDS crisis.

Harry Marry Meghan Marks

In May 2018, Harry’s life took a new turn with his marriage to American actor Meghan Markle. Together, they welcomed son Archie and daughter Lilibet. However, tensions with the press and the strain of royal life led the couple to announce their decision to step back from senior roles in January 2020.
