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.

According to sources, they both arrived after boarding the British Airways overnight flight to Abuja, which was slightly delayed after the scheduled pilot went sick, and a replacement had to be quickly arranged.
On arrival in Nigeria just before 5 am, they were met at the airport, Abuja Nnamdi Azikiwe International by Nigerian officials, and afterwards, taken out of a side door onto the jetty, and into a waiting blacked-out minibus.
The Director Of Defence Information Brigadier General Tukur Gusau told reporters their first engagement is at midday at the Defence Headquarters.
The visit primarily to promote the Invictus Games, comes after Harry met the Nigerian team and General Christopher Musa at last year’s competition in Dusseldorf, Germany.
It was there that he told the audience Meghan was ‘rooting for Team Nigeria’, after discovering she had heritage from the West African nation.
