As reported by The Mirror, the Defence Headquarters (DHQ) announced that the couple will meet with Service members and host various cultural activities.
Why Prince Harry, Meghan are visiting Nigeria?
It was gathered that the visit would be a good one for Meghan after she revealed in her podcast series Archetypes that she has Nigerian ancestry.
Royal commentator Richard Fitzwilliams said it makes sense for the couple to make the trip as Nigeria hopes to host a future Invictus Games, and Meghan's ancestry links to the country.
Former special assistant on digital/new media to ex-President Muhammadu Buhari said Musa reportedly met Harry in Germany last September at the Invictus Games, established for injured and sick serving and retired military personnel.
Harry is Patron of the Games, and his visit to Nigeria is apparently connected to this.
Ogunlesi, via his X handle (formerly known as Twitter) @toluogunlesi, said Nigeria became the first African country to participate in the Invictus Games, winning 1 gold and 1 silver in September 2023.
He also confirmed that Nigeria has also expressed interest in hosting the Games in the near future.
Fitzwilliams said the visit is not a sign the couple wish to return to working royal life with tours and royal trips.
Meghan is said not to join Harry to visit the United Kingdom to celebrate ten years of the Invictus Games.
She will, however, join him for the Africa trip just two days later.
Fitzwilliams added that the visit to Nigeria would serve as a face-saver for Meghan.
"It's [the visit to Nigeria] a very good face saver with Meghan not coming to Britain and shows a bit of PR nous."
