In a remarkably candid moment during her whirlwind tour of Nigeria, the Duchess of Sussex, Meghan Markle, offered a rare and intimate glimpse into her marriage with Prince Harry, painting a picture of a profound and supportive partnership.
The couple, who are visiting the West African nation to promote the Invictus Games and their Archewell Foundation, were guests on a special episode of the popular 'TLC Nigeria' talk show. It was here that Meghan chose to publicly affirm the strength of their bond.
'My Soulmate and My Best Friend'
Gushing with genuine admiration, Meghan turned to Harry and declared, "It's so beautiful. He's just my soulmate, my best friend in the entire world." Her words, delivered with palpable emotion, highlighted the deep connection that has been the foundation of their relationship since its earliest days.
She went on to describe their dynamic as a true team, emphasising the mutual support that defines their union both at home and in their public endeavours. "We're just so incredibly happy. We have two beautiful children that we're so proud of, and it's just a real honour to be able to do the work that we do and to be able to do it together."
A Partnership Forged in Shared Purpose
The Duke and Duchess's trip to Nigeria has been a masterclass in their unique approach to royal-style diplomacy. Rather than focusing on pomp and ceremony, their schedule has been packed with meaningful engagements centred on causes close to their hearts.
From meeting with military veterans and their families to discuss mental health and the power of sport through the Invictus Games, to championing women's leadership and girls' education, the tour has perfectly encapsulated their shared values and mission.
Meghan's heartfelt tribute underscores that their powerful work is built on the solid rock of their personal relationship—a partnership of equals that continues to captivate global attention.
