Prince Harry and Meghan Markle begin Nigeria visit | BBC News

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex have arrived in Nigeria for their three-day visit.

After receiving a private invitation from the country’s Ministry of Defence, the royal couple will travel to three different cities.

They are expected to meet local charities and members of the national Invictus Games team, as Harry marks the event’s ten year anniversary this week.

It is believed that the visit will be of personal significance to Meghan, who revealed on a podcast that she is 43% Nigerian after taking a genealogy test two years ago.

Great to hear a professional journalist from Nigeria. A shame the British reporter wasn’t more balanced

The news needs to either change its name from 'news' to 'fluff'

[GIBBO]

The World Wide Privacy Tour is going well

[ashleeroberts-houck]

What about the Baka people and those women and their mental health. Why is Harry and Meghan speaking with them.

[virginiacarey]

She's as much Nigerian as i am!, and my grandparents come from Ireland

[ogmtqkv]

Ask them to put a spotlight on Africa Parks and the mistreatment of the Baka people.

In addition to these fluff articles, the BBC has recently begun airing a 13-year-old drama series called Suits, which stars Meghan. It seems the BBC has a dedicated PR team for Meghan working within its organization.

Not a royal tour. They are not royals. They do not represent UK.

As long as there are cameras in tow, it is ingriftus games.

80% of African Americans are of Nigerian descent, mainly from the Igbo and Yoruba tribes. So Megan having Nigerian ancestry is not shocking.
