Royals Host Nigerian President Amid Tensions

0:00I'm Cory with the story, and this is your entertainment polls, entertainment and celebrity news today. Prince William and Princess Catherine met Nigerian President Bola Ahmed Tanubu and his wife Oldaremi as they kicked off their state visit to the United Kingdom. The royals greeted the couple at a luxury hotel near Windsor Grey Park before escorting them to meet King Charles and Queen Camilla. This marks the first state visit from Nigeria in 37 years and the first by a Muslim leader during Ramadan in nearly a century. Organizers adjusted the schedule to respect fasting, skipping the usual lunch and planning an afternoon audience at Windsor Castle instead. Security is tied around Windsor with Tems Valley Police on high alert amid global tensions. The visit went ahead despite suicide bombings in Northeastern Nigeria that killed 23 people and injured over 100 just days earlier. After sunset, President Tanubu will break his fast privately before joining the King and Queen for a state banquet.

1:00It's the monarch's first speech since his brother Prince Andrew's arrest. The trip wraps up Thursday evening, coinciding with the start of Eid Al-Fitter. The visitors will lay a wreath at Queen Elizabeth's tomb and attend an interfaith event to promote religious harmony. This story is shared with support from our sponsor.
