Later, the duke and duchess will talk to injured soldiers and their families, before Meghan co-hosts a leadership event with the director general of the World Trade Organization, Dr Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala.

The couple are in Nigeria for three days after being invited by the chief of the defence staff, and are also there to promote the Invictus Games, which stages sporting events for wounded, sick or injured veterans and serving military personnel.

On the first day of their visit, Harry talked about mental health, telling school schoolchildren there was “no shame” in talking about it.

“Too many people don’t want to talk about it ’cause it’s invisible,” he said. “It’s something in our mind that we can’t see. It’s not like a broken leg, it’s not like a broken wrist.

“Every single person in this room, the youngest, the oldest, every single person has mental health. So therefore, you have to look after yourself to be able to look after other people.”
