Meghan Markle was given a four-word advice during her and Prince Harry's Nigeria tour earlier this month and she seems to have followed it, it has been revealed.

The Duke and duch*ess of Sussex visited the West African nation for three days to champion mental health initiatives for soldiers and empower young people as they celebrate the 10th anniversary of the Invictus Games.

Harry and Meghan attended several engagements throughout their trip with the duo giving speeches on various occasions.

During one appearance, the duch*ess spoke about women’s representations, travel, and her recently discovered Nigerian heritage.

Meghan took part in a Women in Leadership event co-hosted with Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, a Nigerian-American economist who is currently serving as the director-general of the World Trade Organisation.

Now Ngozi has spoken about the advice she gave Meghan ahead of their panel, which was "we must have fun".

She told PEOPLE: "I said to the duch*ess when she was coming that 'we must have fun'."

She added that Meghan "fit in very well" with the room full of educational experts, describing the duch*ess as an "intelligent, thoughtful person".

Ngozi said: "The conversation was wonderful. I think the impression that people had of her is of a very warm, loving person. And you can see the way that the room reacted to her."

It comes as the duch*ess was praised by a TV star who claimed the former Suits actress still has a lot up her sleeve and will continue to shake up the Royal Family despite leaving the Firm.

Former The Real Housewives of Atlanta star Phaedra Parks, who's also an activist and an attorney in the US, spoke favourably of Meghan and the things she's done ever since marrying into the Firm, the Mirror reported.

During a speech at the opening of the Beverly Hills Rejuvenation Center’s brand-new West Hollywood location, Ms Parks stressed that Meghan will continue to challenge the monarchy over race relations, saying: "Meghan Markle is very iconic because she did, she's obviously the first woman of colour to marry into a Royal Family. I think she stood her ground.

"I think she's very intelligent and I just see her, I mean, it's historical what she has done and it's their decisions have been historical.

"So I'm just excited to be at this moment in history where I can say I have seen an African-American president, a black woman enter into the royal family. And the best is obviously still to come."
