When Prince Harry and Meghan Markle were working as members of the Royal Family, in a very short period of time from 2018-5 to 2020-1, they limited only a handful of royal tours to Australia, New Zealand, Fiji and Tonga in 2018-10 (when Meghan was a member of the Royal family in 2019). It was certainly memorable, like Morocco in 2019 (where Harry announced he was expecting a baby to become Prince Archie, born on May 5), Morocco in 2019, and South Africa in late May 2019 (where Harry visited Malawi, Angola and Botswana solo) in late May 9-10. 

Last weekend Sussex returned to Africa, this time back to Nigeria, where they made a 3-day visit reminiscent of the day of the royal tour. And according to Harry, he told people that we, as the public, should expect more trips from him and Meghan in the future. 

"These trips are about us being able to go outside and focus on things that are very meaningful to us," Harry said. "And for us, being able to be on the ground is what it's all about.

Indeed, Harry continued, face-to-face meetups only stuff punches heavier than zoom calls. "It is very important for us to meet with people in person, support and listen to our cause to bring about solutions, support and positive change," he said. "There's a lot I can do through Zoom from home, so work is important, so I'm looking forward to traveling more. Whether it's the Archewell Foundation, Invictus, or any of our other causes, there's always a reason to meet people at the heart of our work.

In particular, Meghan found the trip to Nigeria to be very meaningful, especially after taking a genealogy test recently after learning that she is 43% Nigerian. "It had a very personal meaning to me," Meghan said of the couple's visit to Nigeria. She told people it was poignant to learn more about "my legacy, what I can share with my children." "It's something special like a mother who knows what you can do. It is also surrounded by many incredible mothers in this country and the women I have met, especially at the leadership conference," she said, referring to a women's leadership panel co-hosted with Dr. Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, Director General of the World Trade Organization.

Meghan in the publication "I always look back on myself as a young girl and the type of inspiration I wanted to see in other women," she said, "I hope in some small way I can be a part of it especially for many of these young girls." I see the potential in all of these young girls — and, by the way, in these young boys as well.

Meghan missed Mother's Day with her children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet, as they remained in Nigeria on 5/12. About Archie and Lili, Meghan says, "That's what we're seeing in their children — to give them that promise and excitement for their future."

When she and Harry pondered what was the best souvenir they had brought home, Meghan told people it was intangible: "It's so" It was an incredibly memorable special. It's just the best souvenir to take with us — all the memories we made.”
