The Duke and Duchess of Sussex have rounded up their Nigeria trip with a gala fundraising dinner.

Prince Harry has been described as “needy and clingy” after the couple attended a gala fundraising dinner where they met with monarchs from four different Nigerian states.

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex have finished up their trip to Nigeria, where they discussed the Invictus Games and shared positive messages surrounding mental health, with a dinner hosted by Nigeria Unconquered.

During a speech at the event, Harry was seen kissing Meghan on the head, with body language expert Judi James deeming him “rather needy”.

Speaking to the Mirror Judi said: “Harry was looking rather needy on this particular outing, clinging to Meghan’s hand until she had to lift it from the clasp get him to move ahead, then re-clasping his hand in her other hand straight away and here he is still seeming to want to register his affection for her as she is flattered and feted by their hosts.”

The Royal couple met with the Olu Of Warri, HRM Eberechukwu Oji, the Obi of Onitsha, and the Oluwo of Iwo, Oba Abdulrasheed Adewale Akanbi of Osun State.

They presented Harry and Meghan with Aso Oke – a hand-woven cloth created by the Yoruba people – and the coral beads they were wearing.

A video clip shared on social media showed one of the kings complimenting Meghan, with Harry responding by rubbing her arm and giving her a kiss.

Judi added: “Meghan touches the host in gratitude at this moment then turns to Harry, turning to the front again before him. He offers some reassurance and affection by rubbing her right arm but then he seems to want to accelerate to PDA, kissing her on the side of her head.

“This bestowed but rather sweet kiss suggests he wants to pile in on the flattery, praise and glory that his wife is getting here, agreeing with the hosts as they refer to her beauty etc.”

The heartwarming video was liked hundreds of times by fans on social media platform X. One fan said: “The kiss Harry gives Meghan and the way he looks at her!”

Another said: “That is the proudest little kiss! Awwww, I love them,” while yet another fan stated: “In the end, love wins!”

Nigeria has expressed interest in hosting the Invictus Games, the charity sporting event for wounded soldiers founded a decade ago by the duke.

The couple have now returned to their home in Montecito, California, following the “successful” three-day trip to Nigeria.
