Meghan Markle and Prince Harry are back home after three nonstop days in Nigeria.

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex landed in Los Angeles on May 14 following their visit to the West African country at the invitation of the Chief of Defense Staff, Nigeria’s highest-ranking military official on May 10-12.

Meghan, 42, and Harry, 39, were spotted arriving at Los Angeles International Airport and leaving a private suite there before heading home in a white SUV.

Their return to L.A. came amid their organization, The Archewell Foundation, being declared delinquent by the California Registry of Charities and Foundations. A spokesperson for the foundation later refuted this claim as they told PEOPLE in a statement the foundation remains “in good standing.”

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex’s trip to Nigeria was significant as it was their first international tour since stepping back from their royal roles in 2020 and relocating to Meghan’s home state of California.

PEOPLE’s chief foreign correspondent Simon Perry exclusively joined the trip to Nigeria, covering the Duke and Duchess of Sussex’s 11 outings during Harry and Meghan’s first time in the country.

Harry and Meghan hit the ground running when they arrived on May 10, extending Harry’s travels abroad following a solo stay in the U.K. for a Service of Thanksgiving commemorating 10 years of the Invictus Games. He did not see King Charles or Prince William during his time in London, though PEOPLE understands that invitations were extended to the Invictus service on May 8.
