The Duke and Duchess of Sussex arrived in Lagos this morning having spent the first two days of their tour in the capital city of Abuja.

The Sussexes discussed the Invictus Games, mental health awareness and their visit to Nigeria during the meeting.

Following the engagement, Meghan was pictured wearing an additional shawl that matched her gown in front of the Marina State House.

The shawl was reportedly gifted to the Duchess of Sussex by the Governor's wife.

Governor Sanwo-Olu outlined what he hoped Prince Harry would take away from his time in Nigeria during a speech today.

The Governor said: "For Prince Harry, this has been a very interesting and very informative trip to the country.

"He has seen a lot and is still soaking in a whole lot. One of the things we are hoping he will take away is he sees the diversity and the extent of how big our country is and how we continue to ensure that we live together in peace and harmony."

Sanwo-Olu added in his message to the couple: "On behalf of all of us in Lagos we are excited, we are happy to have you with us this afternoon."

On Saturday, Meghan vowed to wear more vibrant colours during her engagements in Nigeria.

The royal also lovingly called Nigeria "my country" during an engagement at a World Trade Organisation women's event in Abuja yesterday.

Meghan said at the event: "I want to start by saying thank you very much for just how gracious you've all been in welcoming my husband and I to this country… my country.

"I am just flattered and honoured and inspired. It has been a whirlwind 24 hours since we arrived.

"And I very quickly got the memo that I need to wear more colour, so I can fit in with all of you and your incredible fashion."

The Duchess of Sussex revealed in 2022 that she is 43 percent Nigerian which she discovered after doing a genealogy test.
