Prince Harry has been reunited with Meghan Markle in Nigeria following his brief two-day return to London.
The couple is currently on a tour – closely resembling the style they previously embarked upon as working royals – where they are undertaking “cultural activities” after being invited by the West African country’s chief of defence staff.
According to The Sun, Meghan secretly flew from Los Angeles to the UK’s Heathrow Airport early Thursday evening, where she reunited with her husband in the ultra-exclusive VIP Windsor Suite. They then reportedly flew onward in first class on a British Airways flight to Abuja, to kick off what will be their first visit to Nigeria together. The three-day tour has special significance for Meghan, who discovered her own Nigerian heritage in recent years, which she opened up about on her Archetypes podcast in 2022.
Nigerian Brigadier General Tukur Gusau shed light on the Duke and Duchess of Sussex’s schedule ahead of their arrival to the Mail Online.
“They will be tired after their journey, so they will rest and then the first engagement is at midday at the Defence Headquarters.
“After that they will travel to Kaduna to meet wounded soldiers at a military hospital there before returning to Abuja for other engagements.”
The Nigerian visit, announced late last month, will also see the couple in talks with officials about hosting the Invictus Games in 2029.
Meghan was notably absent from Harry’s side as he completed his whirlwind visit to the UK this week to mark the decade anniversary of the Invictus Games.
During an emotional Service of Thanksgiving in honour of the competition at St Paul’s Cathedral on Wednesday, Harry appeared to wipe away tears during a testimony by the 2018 Team UK captain, Michelle Turner, as he described the profound impact it had had on her life.
As a choked-up Ms Turner wrapped up by thanking “Invictus for giving me my life back”, Harry stood up to lead the congregation in a standing ovation, before appearing to wipe away his own tears.
He later delivered a reading of a passage from Corinthians.

The duke is patron of the Games, which began in 2014 as a sporting competition for wounded, injured or sick ex-servicemen and women.
It followed his own decade of service in the military, which included two tours of Afghanistan.
Unsurprisingly, given the rift currently dividing Harry and the royal family, none were in attendance at the high-profile event.
