Prince Harry has hinted he and Meghan Markle will carry out more overseas tours as the Duke of Sussex opened up about their Nigeria trip.
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex travelled to Nigeria for three days, after being invited by the country's highest-ranking military official, Christopher Musa.
After meeting him at the Nigerian Defence Headquarters, Meghan signed a guest book thanking officials for "welcoming me home".
Following the trip, Harry said: "It is hugely important for us to meet directly with people, supporting our causes and listening, in order to bring about solutions, support and positive change."
He added the royal couple are anticipating more travel opportunities to further their initiatives.
He continued: "There’s only so much one can do from home and over Zoom, so we look forward to travelling more because the work matters.
"Whether it's the Archewell Foundation, Invictus or any of our other causes, there will always be reasons to meet the people at the heart of our work."
Harry and Meghan travelled to Nigeria to champion their Archewell Foundation's mental health initiatives for young people and to promote the Invictus Games, which Nigeria joined for the first time last year.
The duke continued to tell People: "I’m so happy with the growth of Invictus and to include Nigeria.
"You know what Africa means to me over the years. It is a very, very special place, and to be able to include Nigeria now in Invictus, I’m very happy."
For Meghan, the trip also had a very personal meaning.
In 2022, the duchess discovered through a genealogy test that she is 43 per cent Nigerian.
LATEST ROYAL NEWS:
The couple travelled without their two children, Prince Archie, five, and Princess Lilibet, two.
The family of four reside in Montecito, California, near Meghan's mother Doria Ragland who resides in Los Angeles.
Harry and Meghan stepped down as working royals in 2020 following 18 months of marriage.
The couple's brief stop at London Heathrow Airport last week marked the first time Meghan returned to the UK since Queen Elizabeth II's funeral in 2022.
