In a twist that would make even the most seasoned royal watcher raise an eyebrow, Meghan Markle showered Prince Harry with praise fit for a king (or Duke, in this case) during their royal escapades in Nigeria.
The dynamic duo, aged 39 and 42 respectively (though they might argue with me about that in dog years), kicked off their Nigerian adventure with a visit to Lightway Academy in the bustling metropolis of Abuja. Their mission? To grace the GEANCO Foundation’s mental health summit with their royal presence.
As Prince Harry took to the podium to deliver a speech on the importance of mental health, Meghan couldn’t contain her admiration. In a move that would make any spouse proud (or slightly embarrassed, depending on your perspective), she decided to publicly declare her undying love… for his oratory skills, of course.
In his speech, Prince Harry tackled the stigma surrounding mental health with the finesse of a seasoned diplomat.
“It’s like trying to find your way through a maze blindfolded, isn’t it?” he mused, probably not referring to the royal family dynamics, but we can’t be sure. “But guess what? Every single soul in this room, from the tiniest tot to the wisest elder, grapples with mental health. So, let’s cut the pretense. It’s okay to have a bad day. Just don’t make it a bad life, alright?”
Meghan, unable to resist her husband’s charm (who could?), took to the mic herself, positively beaming with pride.
“You all see why I put a ring on it?” she quipped, gesturing towards Harry like he was a prized poodle at a dog show. “The man speaks wisdom, people! It’s like living with Yoda, but with better hair.”
Echoing Harry’s sentiments (because what’s a royal marriage without a little echo chamber action?), Meghan urged the audience to break the silence surrounding mental health.
“Listen up! Bottling it up is so last century,” she proclaimed, waving her arms for emphasis. “Talk it out, hug it out, scream it out if you have to. Just remember, mental health is like a garden gnome. Neglect it, and it’ll disappear into the bushes when you’re not looking.”
And with that sage advice, the royal couple left Nigeria with their heads held high, their hearts full of love, and probably a suitcase full of Nigerian snacks for the road. Royal tour, you’ve been royally entertained!
