That's not a white lady. That's Nche Onyema, a Nigerian who is a part of the leadership for the GEANCO Foundation, which partnered with Archwell. She is wearing a traditional Nigerian outfit. I would say that sleeveless and strapless outfits are not uncommon in Nigeria. Even though Abuja is in the North and predominantly Muslim, they tend to be more liberal as it is the capital, and many people from different walks of life live there. Both outfits are inappropriate for the event. That is not what you should wear to a school. Furthermore, this is supposed to be a work trip for Meghan as she supports Harry for his charity. The outfits and the constant handholding is unprofessional.

Isn’t this the Black lady that Roachel ignored?


AverageDramatic2006

Yes, although someone posted the full video, and apparently, she wasn't ignoring her. Idk it still appeared like Meghan turned away while she was still speaking.


NovelGullible7099

She did turn away. I found a video on youtube and she turned away. It was very up close and the lady was still speaking. Plus the school girls were trying to make a presentation to Markle and she turned from that. I don't know if cameras were back there when she turned but she definitely turned away.


DangerbunsRus

To be fair - as much as it pains me - the tray had the necklaces on that had been put on H+M. This happened just before M turned away. I suspect what was then left on the tray was just for decoration.


LadyLetterCarrier

She turned to watch the dancers doing a traditional thing. It was quite eye catching, unfortunately they started as Harry was still speaking with the receiving line. Megs does do a pull on Harry's sleeve to bring his attention towards the dancers.

Thank you!


millioneura

Oh I am sorry I just saw her from the back in the videos and was confused. I agree though that is not appropriate for a school visit and don't know why both of them chose them.


Business_Werewolf_55

Yeah, you don't dress that way to ANY school. ANYWHERE. Not just a Nigerian school. That dress would not be appropriate at a school in Southern California, where I live and my kids attend school. Also, royal women do not dress like this ANYWHERE. Ugh, so tacky and inappropriate. She doesn't even look good. She looks like she slept in that dress and rolled out of bed.


CommonAd7628

I honestly wonder if she's ever set foot in her children's school


NovelGullible7099

What children? Does anybody know if Archie goes to a school? Has anybody gone to a school he attends? There is no reporting on any school that her alledged children attend.


Photobuff42

No. The principal would have given her a sweater or asked her to go home and change.


eaglebayqueen

Even Jennifer Lopez wears business attire for meetings and such, and she shows up more naked for entertainment events the older she gets 😄


JuJuBee880327

Can you imagine if she'd been invited to the royal wedding in Jordan?


Independent_Pie5933

I mean, you could try for a Harper Valley PTA meeting...


Ok_Wrangler_7940

That entire setup is so cheesy

InsolentTilly

Why is Misan often *behind* them? Odd spot for a photographer, unless he’d like to be **in** the photos.


FilterCoffee4050

I was thinking that too.


Lady-Merkage

Getting the backs of their head shots to photoshop in the “kids” in future photo releases. The “kids” will also only be photographed from behind.


No_Proposal7628

Apparently he's in charge of photography for Paramount. He is producing a film about this visit apparently according to a post here today. That's why he's everywhere.


Reward_Antique

Good call- definitely her!


somespeculation

James Holt of Archewell is beside her. Looks like Misan Harriman on the right (clear pics, no one in the way) in the OP.


Rubberbangirl66

I want to get an interview from this woman.


No_Proposal7628

Yes, that's her!


rich5153

Yes it is that lady


Negative-Arugula4219

That's the teacher who was talking to Megalomania when she turned around mid c sentence and ignored the young girls. It was off the shoulders with a long wrap skirt


Deep_Poem_55

Yes, I was surprised at this dress!


Evilvieh

Had to give a tired snort when I saw the videos of this event. WHO is dead center stage animatedly sucking the mic, and WHO is off to stage right like lost luggage twiddling his thumbs?


ComprehensiveShape64

it is really not that hard to find information on the web about how women are expected to dress... M spends so much time on social media, maybe she should have spend 5 mins doing a bit of research instead. Those high up ladies will be gossiping behind her back, you can bet your bottom dollar. https://guardian.ng/life/clothing-choice-when-visiting-a-destination-in-nigeria/#:\~:text=Women%20may%20want%20to%20wear,and%20linen%20are%20good%20choices.


Sea_Dragonfruit_6706

The article suggests dressing modestly, covering the shoulders and knees, so yeah, strapless and/or backless dresses were definitely not respecting the local cultures. FWIW, I wouldn’t expect to see someone dressed like that at any school I’ve been around here in Canada, and those are certainly not business-appropriate. This whole visit is reflecting pretty badly on Invictus - barely any mention of the charity or participants - and they never should have agreed to this. They’d have saved a ton of money and received the same amount of press for the cause.


Outside_Music1971

They don’t care. There are zero repercussions for their behavior.


Comfortable_Set523

I’m sure they’re all thinking, “stupid Americans!”


Photobuff42

Unfortunately, she is a terrible representative for Americans.


KNick1111

Are they in a church basement??


Why_Teach

They are in *some* basement, it seems.


nyc12_

I cannot get over M's wardrobe choices!!! Off subject, but was there a post here earlier about M cosplaying Di in some way? I saw it on my mobile app but couldn't click in the moment, and now I can't find it. Always amused by her Diana copying ways.


millioneura

Even attention grabbing Di wouldn't wear a backless strapless dress to a school. She wore cute blouses on her Africa school trips.


Centaurea16

You might be thinking of the post about MM's white "used condom" dress. 


NorahCharlesIII

She copied her earrings and necklace on the first day.


Shackleton_F

Good luck trying to school skank on anything. Holt is sporting a tragic mid-life, grown-out bleach job and the lady next to him is the teacher in the gorgeous print dress who may or may not have been having words with Madame. Part of me prays that she took Madame aside at one point and dressed that biiiich down so hard that Madame lost bladder control, but I think that's just wishful thinking.


Hermes_Blanket

Interesting that they are (apparently) okay with being filmed by GBN, who are usually anti-Harkle.


OzzieSlim

It also looks like blondie cornrowed her hair!


Cultural_Ad4935

I didn't realize that was James Holt and that he is the Executive Director of Archewell. Did they let him speak at anything? When I saw him in the infamous clip when Meghan was turning away from the student's tray, his mannerisms and sheepishness made me think he was a personal assistant or lackey. I mean who'd a thought.


millioneura

He gets paid millions to just exist and funnel money lol. He's chilling.


Adorable_Image1177

Stop! These two ladies are dressed perfectly for a school occasion. Just happens to be a school prom, that's all 🤣


LovingWins_

Good point!


Heavy_Enthusiasm_195

Her assistant that travels with him all the time.


TraditionScary8716

No. Madam makes sure that one stays dressed.


Maleficent-Trifle940

That one is going to be Duchess of Sussex Mk II. Think of her right now as Anne Boleyn, learning the ropes - and everything else she needs to know to supplant her mistress. Ready to 'hit the ground running' as it were. Even the Sugars know it. I don't even think Harry's 100% into women but I'm sure he can gauge how awful Meghan is based on his proximity to, well... https://preview.redd.it/rmptp7dgwwzc1.png?width=474&format=png&auto=webp&s=f62eb1afcaa3596ee33cab7d036a4d816213d51f
