Meghan Markle and Prince Harry headed to a familiar place for the final outing on their last day in Nigeria: the polo field!
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex visited the prestigious Lagos Polo Club for a reception in aid of Nigeria Unconquered. Founded in 1904, the Lagos Polo Club stands as one of Nigeria’s oldest and most esteemed social clubs, renowned for its vibrant equestrian culture and polo tournaments.
The couple put on a glam display, with Meghan opting for a cream halter-style print dress by Johanna Ortiz, Burberry sandals and her go-to Heidi Merrick “Santa Barbara” sunglasses. Harry wore a button-up under a dark suit jacket and matching pants.
Shortly after their arrival, Harry and Meghan settled into their seats in the stands and enjoyed a pre-game parade. The parade featured children dressed in polo gear, carrying the green and white flag of Nigeria. Following them were a group of older children riding on horseback.
For Harry, polo holds a significant place, as he has a long history with the sport, often participating in charity matches and supporting various polo-related initiatives. Currently, he is working on a Netflix series that delves into the world of polo, showcasing its rich history and cultural significance.
