Meghan Markle and Prince Harry are expected to return to the US today following a whirlwind 72 hours in Nigeria - but the trip has been marred by a number of controversies.
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have been spending time in Nigeria on what has been dubbed a "mini royal tour", but some parts of the trip have raised eyebrows.
Royal Family annoyance With Harry and Meghan's Nigeria trip being referred to as an unofficial royal tour, one expert has suggested the term would not have "pleased" King Charles or Prince William. Former BBC Royal correspondent Jennie Bond told OK! magazine: "The King and Prince William are firmly of the belief that you are either in or out of the working royals.
Wardrobe change During her time in Nigeria, Meghan co-hosted a panel on Women in Leadership, where she confessed to altering her wardrobe to better blend in with the local style. She expressed her gratitude, saying: "I want to start by saying thank you very much for just how gracious you've all been in welcoming my husband and I to this country... my country. I am just flattered and honoured and inspired. It has been a whirlwind 24 hours since we arrived."
Meghan's heartbreak Meghan experienced a poignant moment as she was unable to celebrate Mother's Day with her children, Archie and Lilibet. Although the UK marked Mother's Day earlier in the year, the US observes it on the second Sunday of May.
