It seems like Meghan Markle’s Nigerian heritage has created a meaningful connection, leading to her upcoming visit with Prince Harry. The letter from Brigadier Tukur Gusau likely outlines the significance of their visit and the involvement of the Nigerian military in supporting the trip. It’s a testament to the power of personal discovery and cultural connections.
“During their stay in the country, they will be meeting with Service members and will be hosted to arrays of cultural activities,” the letter reads.
“The visit is to consolidate Nigeria strong hold at the game and the possibility of hosting the event later years,” it reads regarding the Invictus Games.
When Meghan shared the results of her genealogy test on her podcast she said,
“I’m going to start to dig deeper into all this because anybody that I’ve told, especially Nigerian women, are like What!”
Ahead of the Invictus Games in Düsseldorf last September, Prince Harry said that Meghan would be cheering on Nigeria.
“I’m not saying we play favorites in my home, but since my wife discovered that she is of Nigerian descent it’s likely to get a little bit more competitive this year,” he said.
The timing of Prince Harry’s visit to Nigeria following his participation in the Thanksgiving Service at St. Paul’s Cathedral for the 10th anniversary of the Invictus Games adds another layer of significance to the trip.
It underscores the importance of both personal and global commitments in their agenda.
Nigeria’s historical ties with the Commonwealth, including its independence ceremony attended by Princess Alexandra, reflect its significant role within the organization.
The upcoming visit by Prince Harry and Meghan Markle adds another chapter to this relationship.
Security concerns have sometimes impacted royal visits, as seen during Prince Charles and Camilla’s trip in 2018, highlighting the complexities of diplomatic engagements in certain regions.
