The Duke of Sussex arrived with his wife on Friday in Nigeria’s capital Abuja where they visited a school event on mental health, in a trip that also saw the prince meet wounded Nigerian soldiers in the country’s northwest.
On day three of the visit, Prince Harry and Meghan took part in a basketball event with the Giants of Africa Foundation in Lagos, an organisation that helps youth through engagement in the sport.
The prince practised dribbling basketballs with children at the exhibition event for the foundation, which is run by vice-president of an NBA team Masai Ujiri.
The couple later met with Lagos State governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu and also attended a Lagos fundraiser.
Harry, a former army captain who flew helicopters in Afghanistan, founded the Invictus Games 10 years ago to help bring wounded veterans into sporting events to aid with their recuperation.
Before Nigeria, Prince Harry was in London on Wednesday to mark the 10th anniversary of the games. His trips to the UK since he moved to the United States in 2020 always prompt fresh speculation over a potential reconciliation with his family.
