Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have embarked on a three-day visit to Nigeria, focusing on mental health awareness and support for injured service members. During the trip, Meghan explored her Nigerian ancestry and addressed schoolchildren, empowering them with her words. Prince Harry also delivered an emotional speech. This visit, resembling their past royal tours, comes amidst ongoing family tensions, highlighted by Prince Harry's recent UK visit for the Invictus Games' 10th anniversary where he did not meet his father, King Charles III, or his brother, Prince William. The visit has sparked discussions about the couple's role and image, with some commentators suggesting it aims to improve their public perception.
