During their time as royals, Harry and Meghan have travelled on several official international tours. In 2018, shortly after their royal wedding, they visited Australia, Tonga, Fiji, New Zealand, and Tonga. In February 2019, while expecting their son Archie, they toured Morocco and then visited South Africa with their son.

Harry and his wife Megan will also meet service personnel and take part in a variety of cultural activities. The visit will highlight the Invictus Games, which Harry participated in last year in Germany with 500 athletes from 21 countries, including Nigeria.

The Minister of Defence, Alhaji Mohammed Abubakar Badaru, who participated in last year’s event in Germany, has indicated Nigeria’s readiness to host the games if given the opportunity.
