On Sunday, May 12, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex were greeted at the airport in Lagos for the third and final day of their trip to Nigeria with a typically noisy and acrobatic dance performance.

Prince Harry, 39, and Meghan, 42, — who wore a white Carolina Herrera button down teamed with a traditional Nigerian skirt gifted to her during their visit to Abuja — were greeted with a festive welcome from the state governor, local dancers and well-wishers who came to see them.

This included a moment where where the couple gasped and clapped as the dancers were hoisted up and created human towers.

After arriving at Lagos airport from Abuja, Harry and Meghan headed to a local school to take part in a basketball clinic with non-profit Giants of Africa.
