IF THIS IS NOT ROYAL (which we know it is not)---look at people lining the streets-=----SOMEONE IS LYING

[mommatreez]

Has anyone asked harry why he's not helping the Baka people?

[Qqfuuuuuuk]

just a private trip. But why is it that they leads the press corps wearing a backless dress and full makeup?🙄

[marywilson]

Harry playing with his hands, suit jacket or tie as usual

[cruciblesilver]

Meghan put so much bronzer on her face that looks unreal

[john_cockpit]

The press has to always put those families against each other. Don't use the tour as excuse to make people klick but just put;
Royal rift. Charles don't wanna see Harry visa versa put them against each other. Have a go with it. But don't be a hypocrite by starting talking about the Nigeria visit and then change the subject and start talking about rifts
SHAME! ON YOU TODAY all day

[peggydickerson]

Do they have their film crew with them ?!?

Nigiera sure made a great impression, what wonderful hospitality they gave to Harry and Meghan!! They sure showed up the UK for Nigiera had such a warm welcoming and the people were very respectful!!! I didn’t see any journalist giving horrible reports about this visit to Nigeria like the UK also the UK has such negative reporting. Great job Nigeria 🇳🇬, and wonderful Work Everyone!!

[davedon]

They will enjoy the trip to Nigeria 😂😂😂😂😂😂. Believe me.

[Wegivesp]

So Britains take pride in reporting the Kings rejection to see his son. Because they report it as news worthy every time its happens. 🙄

Why would you turn up to a school in a backless dress?

[blackislepeastoo]

Remember it's a PRIVATE visit and not a ROYAL TOUR. The High Commissioner to Nigeria contacted the Nigerian Government to ensure it is understood that it is a PERSONAL VISIT by the Grifters NOT A ROYAL TOUR. Surely you are aware of that, so stop calling it Royal.

[harlow]

How much was their asking fee for this appearance?

[wandapaul]

Visiting students at a school dressing learning their culture, to dress properly....and she is supposedly 43% Nigerian like she said she Maltese....

[smileyzed]

When’s she gonna visit her father to introduce her kids

[mogrevatt]

I think she has the wrong venue- she’s not on the red carpet she is in Nigeria - backless dress please ! Modesty I, believe is valued in Nigerian culture for women loose fitting clothing that covers the shoulders .

[griijro]

Harry and Meghan are a great team!!! Continue to follow your Hearts 💞 you can’t go wrong when you’re doing what you decide and what you love doing 💕💗💕

[anacristinaroseroyanez]

They are not part of active royalty, they are not traveling on royal duties, they are just making money for their own benefit

[keisioj]

What on earth is she wearing.Looks ridiculous

[CC-yihc]

🤞 and pray they stay there, the US and UK would be well rid of toxic rubbish.
