The Duke and Duchess of Sussex, Prince Harry and Meghan, have accepted to visit Nigeria at the request of Gen. Christopher Musa, the country’s Chief of Defence Staff.
Dr Richard Montgomerry, the British High Commissioner in Nigeria, said this in an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) during his courtesy visit to the agency’s Managing Director, Malam Ali M. Ali, in Abuja.
“It’s great that the Duke and Duchess of Sussex are visiting Nigeria, which I understand is at the invitation of Defence Headquarters.
“But they are visiting in a private capacity, not an official one.
“So, the British High Commission is not involved in arranging or facilitating their programme.
“They are not representing the work of His Majesty’s Government on this visit.”
