All the Best Photos from Meghan Markle and Prince Harry’s Nigeria Trip!
The couple kicked off their trip on Friday, May 10 with a stop 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. Together, Archewell and GEANCO will provide mental health resources and training to young women and men. This is in addition to the couple’s foundation’s work providing menstrual health products and educational services to Nigerian girls and young women.
Meghan, 42, and Harry’s trip to Nigeria marks their first international tour since they stepped away from their roles as senior working royals in 2020. It’s also their first trip to the country, which holds a special place in the Duchess of Sussex’s heart after she discovered via a genealogy test that she’s 43% Nigerian on a 2022 episode of her Archetypes podcast.
