For a visit to the Lightway Academy in Abuja, Nigeria, on May 10, Meghan wore a tan-coloured maxi-dress by California-based label, Heidi Merrick. Titled the Windsor Gown, the dress paid tribute to the British royal family, and features a drop waist with cut-outs on the side. She paired the look with delicate gold jewellery, including a necklace similar to the one worn by Princess Diana on her trip to Nigeria in 1990. She also donned a traditional beaded neckpiece.
