Prince Harry meets military personnel and families during his tour of Nigeria
Prince Harry has visited military officials and wounded troops in Nigeria along with his wife Meghan.
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex were seen speaking with wounded soldiers and amputees in hospital on the second day of his tour in the country.
Arriving in the country's capital Abuja on Friday, the couple met military officials and schoolchildren before attending a special reception to honour the sacrifice of service personnel in the country's armed forces.
The royal couple were welcomed by members of the Armed Forces of Nigeria, and the Prince inspected troops on the parade ground.
Prince Harry, who served in the Army in Afghanistan, met soldiers in a hospital in Northern Kaduna during his visit, with images and videos of the meetings circulating online.
The couple are in Nigeria to raise awareness for mental health and to promote the Invictus Games which is marking its 10th anniversary this year.
The visit was compared online to his mother Diana, Princess of Wales's visit to Nigeria in 1990.
During their visit, the Duke and Duchess were invited to a reception with military families and The Widows Association, where they acknowledged the sacrifices of service members and their stories.
During the evening, Prince Harry spoke with Lance Corporal Peacemaker Azuegbulam, who thanked him for creating the Invictus Games.
Reflecting on his experience, LCpl Azuegbulam said: "It has given me a purpose. My disability does not hinder my ability."
