Prince Harry and Meghan Markle presented a solid front during their high-profile visit to Nigeria this month, but it didn’t stop whispers about the Duke of Sussex appearing “worried” as his star wife “outshone” him.
The trip marked the duo’s first official international engagement since their dramatic exit from royal duties four years prior, hot on the heels of Harry’s solo return to the UK for the anniversary of his Invictus Games.
