Harry and Meghan were stuck playing a game of volleyball sitting with injured people in Nigeria.
The session came after the couple danced with school children, jumping and spinning, before interacting with the children.
The Duke of Sussex can be seen encouraging the Dutchwoman to twirl around as she laughs and puts her hand on Harry’s shoulder.
They then talked to the children about mental health, telling them there was “no shame” in feeling down.
“There’s no shame in being able to admit that today is a bad day, okay?” Harry said.
“You woke up this morning feeling sad; you were at school and feeling stressed; you have lost a dear person in your family and you don’t know who to turn to or who to talk to,” the Duke of Sussex added.

He urged students to talk about their psychological problems.
“The more you talk about it, the more you can get rid of the stigma, fall farther into the long grass, and then everyone will have the opportunity to be able to share how they feel, how they cope, and then it can help other people,” Harry said.
“So, if you take anything away from today, just know that mental health affects everyone,” he added.
