THE British High Commissioner to Nigeria, Richard Montgomery has explained why the British High Commission didn’t accord Prince Harry and wife the usual tradition of welcoming top dignitaries from the United Kingdom.
Montgomery in an interview said: “It is great that the Duke and Duchess of Sussex are visiting Nigeria, which I understand is at the invitation of Defence Headquarters (DHQ).
“But they are visiting in a private capacity, not an official one. So, the British High Commission is not involved in arranging or facilitating their programme. They are not representing the work of His Majesty’s Government on this visit”, said the British Ambassador.
Prince Harry and his wife, Meghan arrived Nigeria since Friday last week and have engaged in different activities in the country.
