Why are Prince Harry and Meghan visiting Nigeria?
According to GB News, the couple has been invited by the country’s Chief of Defence Staff. News presenter Bev Turner comments that although the couple has been invited for a different reason, Meghan wants to “discover her roots.”
The trip is also seen as Harry’s opportunity to make his mother, Princess Diana, proud and honour her legacy. The late princess visited Nigeria in 1990, where she toured a leprosy hospital and showed great affection toward the patients. Via Mirror, Sun photographer Arthur Edwards said, “When we went to Africa with Diana, we couldn’t stop her hugging them, feeding them, embracing them. She was embracing them… looking straight into their eyes and made them feel a million dollars.”
