Meghan Markle Wears Traditional Skirt Gifted to Her in Nigeria After Admitting She Needs to ‘Wear More Color’
Meghan Markle and Prince Harry stepped out for their last day in Nigeria tour in a festive way.
On Sunday, May 12, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex traveled from the capital city of Abuja to Lagos, where they were greeted at the airport for the third and final day of their trip to Nigeria with a traditional dance performance.
Prince Harry, 39, and Meghan, 42, — who wore a white Carolina Herrera button-down shirt teamed with a traditional Nigerian skirt gifted to her during their visit to Abuja — were treated to a festive welcome from the state governor, local dancers and well-wishers who came to see them. The couple gasped and clapped as the dancers were hoisted up and created human towers.
On Saturday, Meghan shared that she was rethinking her wardrobe in Nigeria after wearing a string of neutral colors since the couple’s arrival.
“I very quickly got the memo that I need to wear more color, so I can fit in with all of you and your incredible fashion!” she said during her panel appearance alongside Dr. Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, Director-General of the World Trade Organization, in Abuja on May 11.
After their arrival, which was attended by PEOPLE, Harry and Meghan headed to a local school to take part in a basketball clinic with the non-profit Giants of Africa.
In March 1990, Prince Harry’s parents King Charles and Princess Diana received a similarly warm welcome when they arrived at Murtala Muhammed International Airport in Lagos for an official visit.
