PRINCE Harry today left Meghan behind to fly to a dangerous “no-go zone” in Nigeria – despite kicking off over UK security fears.

Harry travelled alone to a military hospital in the state of Kaduna, around 120 miles north west of Nigeria’s capital Abuja.

Harry left Meghan behind to visit Kaduna
The Foreign Office advises against all travel to Kaduna, where armed bandits abducted 2,000 people in 2020.

Harry toured six wards where Nigerian soldiers are being treated for injuries suffered in the battle against terror group Boko Haram.

Many of the soldiers had been ambushed or shot by terrorists – and some had lost limbs in bomb blasts.

It comes after Harry lost his legal fight against the removal of his taxpayer-funded UK security in February.

The Sussexes were stripped of their round-the-clock protection when they stepped back from royal duties in 2020.

Harry said he was unable to return with Meghan, Archie and Lilibet to the UK “because it is too dangerous”.

Former royal protection officer Ken Wharfe questioned Harry’s visit to the “lawless” region.

He told the Mail: “You do have to question why he has gone there if he says the safety of his wife and children is uppermost.

“If the situation deems that level of protection, then you do have to ask why he is there.

“For him to say he feels unsafe in London when he has all that security in London does leave you asking does it make sense to go.”

While visiting the hospital, Harry said: “I’m sorry that I didn’t bring my wife.

“The focus here in Kaduna is the wounded, injured and sick men and women who serve in Nigerian forces and keep people safe.”

Before he left, hospital staff gave Harry two paintings – one of him with Meghan, and one of him with his mum Diana.

Meghan is understood to have had a private engagement and met up with Harry when he returned to Abuja.
