iPad charging port
My iPad charger prong broke off part of it and is stuck inside the charging port. It’s a lightning one. Any suggestions on removing it!

If the problem is due to a visible obstruction, you may be able to remove it yourself*. With good light, using a sharpened wooden matchstick or plastic toothpick (never a metal object), very gently try to dislodge the visible the obstruction from the socket. Be careful to avoid damaging the delicate electrical contacts and retention springs within the Lightning socket.
(*) Removal of an obstruction is often best entrusted to the technicians at the Genius Bar of your local Apple Store or Apple Authorised Service Provider (AASP) - where the appropriate tools and expertise are available:

There appears to be a problem with the internal charging port. Only a certified Apple technician can determine the cause and offer a complete solution.
