Prince Harry and Meghan Markle travelled from Abuja to Lagos on the third and final day of their trip to Nigeria, where the Duchess was sweetly wished a Happy Mother's Day.
The couple enjoyed a sporty start to the day when they were welcomed on the basketball court at Ilupeju Senior Grammar School to enjoy a series of street-style dances.
They appeared in great spirits, gasping and clapping as they watched an acrobatic performance that featured a young boy being thrown between two dancers and the impressive performers forming human towers.
Looking as stylish as ever, the royal mother-of-two donned a Caroline Herrera shirt over a traditional Nigerian skirt she had been presented as a gift.
Meghan's special greeting
After taking in the performances, Harry and Meghan were welcomed by ex-NBA star Masai Ujiri, who is Chairman and President of non-profit organisation Giants of Africa, which travels the continent to run children's basketball camps, building courts, and facilitate outreach initiatives.
Speaking as the duo unveiled a partnership between the charity and their Archewell Foundation, the former player addressed Meghan and mentioned his own wife as he said: "I want to wish you a Happy, Happy Mother's Day."

Prince Harry could be seen rising from his seat and applauding the women as the former Toronto Raptors star spoke.
Ujiri added the heartfelt sentiment: "It is sometimes hard for us to be away from our kids and family to make things like this happen. But to do so shows dedication. To come to something like this and delicate yourself we truly appreciate it so thank you again."
He continued: "We are inspired by the youth and they will continue to be leaders and they will change Africa. Africa is already changing. We use sports to try to make some more change. It improves peace, it brings people together and brings incredible gatherings like this."

"Specifically with sport. The power of sport can change lives. It brings people together and creates community and there are no barriers which is the most important thing.

We're so grateful and proud of all the work that you're doing."

"You're better than I am," the Duchess told one young player, while she had a hug for Dennis Ogbe, 47, a Paralympian shot putter and discus thrower for Team USA.
