Well, Harry and Megan, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, are not working royals.

They've made that repeatedly and screamingly clear to anyone who wants to hear it.

Podcasters, authors, influencers, jam sellers, sure.

But they left us in no doubt when they left Britain and the royal family that their royal duties were done.

No more flower shows on a wet Wednesday in Stoke.

So it came as something of a surprise to many of us this week

when the formerly royal couple landed in Nigeria in Africa

to embark on what looked sounded and felt very much like a normal official royal tour.

In fact, it ticked every single box on the Royal Tour clipboard. It was a lavish welcome ceremony

festooned in traditional decorations and attended by glad-handing local dignitaries. There were photo

opportunities at local schools and warm handshakes with beaming children. There was a visit to the

state governor house with speeches and tributes from officials. This was certainly no holiday,

nor was it a private visit. It was a renegade royal operation in full swing and a booming look

of what you could have won, message to their ailing family in Windsor. Megan even revealed that she

is Nigerian after taking a DNA test, but as she explained to audiences in her typically humble and self-effacing style,

the clues were there all along.

And what has been echoed so much, really, in the past day,

by men and women alike is,

oh, we weren't surprised me found out with you were in Nigeria.

Oh, no, no, no.

And I say that mostly is a compliment to all of you, because what they define as a Nigerian woman is

brave, resilient, courageous, power and beautiful.
