Meghan Markle and Prince Harry just wrapped up a visit to Nigeria. The couple visited the nation to promote mental health for soldiers and empower young people. During the three-day trip, the couple spoke of how important taking care of one’s mental health was, leading Meghan to admit the real reason she married the Duke of Sussex.
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s first engagement in Nigeria took place at the Lightway Academy, which, according to The Daily Beast, receives support from the couple’s Archwell Foundation. Harry and Meghan stressed the importance of mental health. They also shared the emotional need to talk to others about one’s feelings, which led Harry to become emotional in his response.
“In some cases around the world, in more than you would believe, there is a stigma when it comes to mental health,” Harry admitted. “Too many people don’t want to talk about it ‘cause it’s invisible. It’s something in our mind that we can’t see.”
“But guess what? Every single person in this room, the youngest, the oldest, every single person has mental health,” he continued. “So, therefore, you have to look after yourself to be able to look after other people.” Harry also said, “There is no shame” in acknowledging that you’re having a bad day.
“You see why I’m married to him?” Meghan claimed. The couple has been married since 2016.

Meghan Markle discussed balancing motherhood with building a career during a panel discussion during her and Prince Harry’s Nigeria trip. People Magazine reports that Meghan admitted to having to find a “balance” between mom life and work life.

“I love being a mom. I love being a mom,” Meghan admitted.
