Meghan Markle faces heartbreak as she misses out on Mother’s Day while on Nigeria tour

Meghan Markle faces heartbreak this weekend as she misses out on Mother’s Day in the United States while in Nigeria on tour with her husband Prince Harry

Meghan Markle is facing a heartbreaking weekend as she misses out on Mother’s Day with her two children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet.

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex, who are proud parents to two young children, are currently in Nigeria for their “unofficial royal tour”. The former senior royals touched down in the West African country in the early hours of Friday morning, with them now embarking on day two of their 72-hour brief visit.

Their trip to West Africa comes after Harry’s brief visit to the United Kingdom when he flew to his former country of residence the day after his son, Prince Archie, turned five, for an Invictus Games event. And now, after likely cutting Archie’s birthday celebrations short, the family will celebrate Mother’s Day apart due to Harry and Meghan being in Nigeria, and Archie and Lili being in Montecito, California.

Although Mother’s Day took place earlier this year in the United Kingdom, in the United States, which is where Meghan hails from and where the Sussexes reside with their young family, Mother’s Day is celebrated on the second Sunday in May.

According to reports, Archie, five, and Lilibet, two, are currently staying with their maternal grandmother Doria Ragland. But despite Meghan being apart from her two children, she has mentioned them while giving talks in Nigeria.

The Duchess of Sussex spoke about Princess Lilibet and Prince Archie after joining schoolchildren taking part in a song and dance session on day one of her and Prince Harry’s tour of Nigeria. The couple joined in with a riotous version of “jump up, turn around” alongside kids from Abuja’s Lightway Academy, before Meghan told them: “We’re so honoured to be with you. We have got to acknowledge those amazing dance moves! My husband was excited to jump up!”

After Harry, 39, asked pupils: “Is singing and dancing your favourite class?”, former Suits star Meghan said: “That’s Lili’s favourite class…maybe it’s all the jumping around!”
