I am 43% Nigerian – Britain’s Duchess of Sussex

Meghan Markle, the Duchess of Sussex, says her recently conducted genealogy shows she is 43% Nigerian. Meghan is the wife of British Prince Harry. The American-born former actress said this in her latest podcast, Archetypes. She also expressed a wish to trace her roots, Mirror reported on Tuesday.

“I just had my genealogy done a couple of years ago,” she said while discussing with American actress Issa Rae; Nigerian-American writer Ziwe Fumudoh, and professor Emily Bernards.

Her apparently shocked guests ask about the details of the results. “No way!; Are you serious? This is huge. Igbo, Yoruba, do we know?” Ziwe asked.

Responding, the Duchess of Sussex, said, “I’m going to start to dig deeper into all of this because anyone that I’ve told, especially Nigerian women, are just like, what?”
