Prince Harry and Meghan Markle will soon be travelling to Nigeria to take part in talks about the Invictus Games and they could take their two young children.
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex will be visiting the African country later this month. It’s believed they’ll be treated to a banquet with military officials and meet with servicemen and their families.
The couple are yet to reveal whether they will take their kids – Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet – on the trip, but fans are quietly optimistic.
Speculation is mounting that the youngsters will join their parents to learn more about their heritage after Meghan discovered she is 43 percent Nigerian.
Meghan revealed she has Nigerian ancestry during an episode of her podcast Archetypes.
Speaking to Nigerian-American actor Ziwe, Meghan said she discovered her ancestry after having her genealogy done “a couple of years ago”.
At the time, she said she didn’t know which tribe her ancestors were from but planned to “dig deeper into all of this”. Ziwe said the news was “huge for our community,” adding: “No, honestly, you do look like a Nigerian, you look like my aunt Uzo. So this is great.”
A clip from the podcast has been shared on social media, with fans getting excited at the thought of Archie and Lilibet joining Harry and Meghan. “Would be phenomenal. I know they would be safer there!” one person wrote.
Another said: “I really hope that Archie and Lilibet go to Nigeria,” while a third commented: “Just a thought Archie’s First international trip was South Africa , Im trusting Lilibet will make Nigeria her first. It’s an African thing for the Sussex House Hold.” However, someone else pointed out: “Lili has traveled internationally to the UK, Caribbean and not sure where else. Point well taken, this will likely be her first trip to the African Continent.”
Nigeria is also a place which is close to Harry’s heart. In 1990, his mother the late Princess Diana visited a leprosy hospital in Nigeria and Harry’s trip to Nigeria will also be a chance for him to honour Diana’s legacy.
Sun photographer Arthur Edwards recalled: “When we went to Africa with Diana, we couldn’t stop her hugging them, feeding them, embracing them. She was embracing them… looking straight into their eyes and made them feel a million dollars.”
