King Charles unveils portrait as Meghan reveals ‘best souvenir’ from Nigeria tour

King hosts garden party with senior royals as Prince Harry to miss reunion

King Charles and Queen Camilla have hosted a star-studded garden party for UK creatives following the news that Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s charity is no longer “delinquent”.

News of the charity’s troubles came amid a three-day unofficial tour of Nigeria to mark the 10th anniversary of the Duke of Sussex’s Invictus Games.

The couple said the visit was “unforgettable” with Meghan describing the memories they made as the “best souvenir”.

The statement came after news of the state of California declaring the couple’s charity “delinquent”.

The Archewell Foundation was given the status after “failing to submit [the] requirged annual report(s) and/or renewal fees”.

However, on Tuesday it emerged that the fees and paperwork had been submitted properly – last year – and so the charity is no longer listed as delinquent.

The King and Queen then hosted a garden party at Buckingham Palace yesterday afternoon for around 4,000 members of the UK’s creative industries.

The event took place just a day after a striking new portrait of King Charles was unveiled.

Meghan Markle reveals ‘best souvenir’ from Nigeria trip

The Duchess of Sussex, 42, was in the country with Prince Harry, 39, celebrating the 10th anniversary of the Invictus Games.

While Harry had chosen to mark the occasion in the UK before flying to Nigeria, Meghan skipped this leg of the celebrations last week.

Opening up to PEOPLE about the events she did attend in Nigeria, she gushed: “It was such warm hospitality and it was a really meaningful trip. It was incredibly memorable and special. That alone is the best souvenir to take with us – all the memories we’ve made.”

The trip was also a significant one in terms of the couple’s history, marking their first overseas tour as private citizens following their decision to step down as working royals in 2020.
