Harry & Meghan tease MORE ‘faux royal’ tours in their diary as they heap praise on ‘memorable and special’ Nigeria visit
PRINCE Harry has hinted at more "faux Royal" tours after heaping praise on a "memorable" trip to Nigeria.
The Sussexes spent three days touring the West African nation last week.
After visits to a warzone and Meghan claiming Nigeria as "my country" - Harry said there is "only so much" he and his wife can do over Zoom.
The Duke told PEOPLE Magazine: "We look forward to travelling more because the work matters.
"Whether it's the Archewell Foundation, Invictus or any of our other causes, there will always be reasons to meet the people at the heart of our work."
Harry also praised Africa, where he is involved in conservation and his charity Sentebale, as a "very, very special place".

The Duke added: "You know what Africa means to me over the years.
"To be able to include Nigeria now [in Invictus], I’m very happy."
The pair touched down in the Nigerian capital Abuja on Friday to promote the 2025 Invictus Games in Vancouver, Canada.
The event - which sees injured servicemen and women compete in a range of athletics events - was founded by Prince Harry and is celebrating its 10th anniversary this year.
At a Women in Leadership event on Saturday, Meghan revealed she was 43 percent Nigerian, according to a genealogy test.
After finding out, she rang her mum "because I wanted to know if she had any awareness of it" and the discovery was "exciting for both of us" because being African-American "is really not knowing so much about your lineage or background, where you come from specifically".
The 42-year-old told the event: "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.
"It's been really eye-opening and humbling to be able to know more about my heritage and to be able to know this is just the beginning of that discovery."
'GREAT CONCERN'
Royal expert Richard Fitzwilliams suggests Meghan's Nigerian ancestry claims give her a "feeling of belonging".
But he told The Sun there is a "huge question mark" the Royal Family will have over how the Sussexes "faux-royal" tour has been handled.
He said: "There the Sussexes are concerned, there is a huge question mark over how all of this [tour] was handled.
"You can't help feeling… that an awful lot is happening behind the scenes.
"As for trusting the Sussexes, as successful as their trip will be… I think there will be a great deal of concern [from Buckingham Palace] over how they have built publicity up, used it, and some would say, exploited it, for their Nigerian trip.

"It is always unwise to underestimate the Sussexes because you never quite know what is coming next.
"The unpredictability is something the Royal Family find very difficult to deal with."
