Meghan Markle and Prince Harry are gearing up for what is rumored to be a significant surprise during their forthcoming visit to Nigeria. The couple’s trip is scheduled for later this month and is packed with activities that not only underscore their commitment to the Invictus Games but also highlight their engagement with broader cultural and community-oriented events.
As part of their visit, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex will participate in several discussions about the Invictus Games, an international sporting event founded by Prince Harry for wounded, injured, and sick servicemen and women, both serving and veterans. The Games are a central part of Harry’s public service endeavors and reflect his ongoing commitment to supporting those who have served their countries.
While some have described the trip as an “unofficial royal tour,” PR expert Mayah Riaz suggests that the Duke and Duchess of Sussex will depart from “official protocol.” She believes Harry and Meghan will show fans a more relaxed side to them in Nigeria. Speaking exclusively to The Mirror, Mayah said: “Undoubtedly there will be all eyes on Harry and Meghan as they take their trip to Nigeria. However, this will be different to a traditional royal trip and they will want it to be so.”
She suggested: “There will be no press on the plane with them nor will they be greeted with welcoming ceremonies such as military honors or flag-raising ceremonies, which are often usual with royal visits. “Where it may be similar to a royal visit will be the press following the couple around on public appearances at events and ceremonies including seeing coverage of them interacting with the public.
“As Harry and Meghan have an active interest in philanthropy and highlight important causes, we may see them visit charities, schools, or other institutions working towards social causes.” Mayah also believes the couple’s outfits will differ from what fans are used to. The PR expert told us: “Meghan won’t necessarily be dressing to any royal dress code. Her outfits will be carefully planned in advance and fit her style.
“We can expect the outfits she wears to sell out but there will be no official protocol for her to follow. Harry will be dressed down wearing a casual look and not be in a suit for the duration of his trip. “A lot of people will compare it to a royal trip but it will have a different look and feel to it. We can expect this to be the first of many trips that Harry and Meghan make.”
In addition to these discussions, the royal couple’s itinerary is filled with engagements that will allow them to immerse themselves in Nigerian culture. These activities are expected to foster deeper connections with the local communities and provide the Duke and Duchess with insights into the rich cultural heritage of Nigeria.
Moreover, they are set to meet with service members and their families, which will likely include personal interactions and conversations about the challenges and triumphs faced by military families in Nigeria. These meetings are not just formal engagements but are seen as crucial in building bridges and understanding the specific needs and experiences of service members on a more personal level.
