The Duke and Duchess of Sussex, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have donated an unspecified amount of money to help flooding victims in Nigeria.
Nigeria is arguably facing one of its worst flooding incidents in decades with over 600 persons killed and over two million displaced due to the disaster this year.
In a statement shared on Tuesday, a Spotify representative confirmed that the Royal couple through the Archewell Foundation made donations to Save the Children and UNICEF.
The spokesperson said the unspecified donations to the charities would “help provide relief following devastating floods wreaking havoc in Nigeria.”
Save the Children Nigeria also confirmed the donation in a tweet, saying: “More than 1.5 million children are at risk after devastating flooding in Nigeria.
‘Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s Archewell Foundation has donated to Save the Children in Nigeria as our teams deliver life-saving supplies to affected families.”
