Meghan Markle, the Duchess of Sussex, has discussed her genetic background and revealed that she is 43% Nigerian.
In the most recent episode of her podcast, Archetypes, Markle made this clear and stated her desire to discover more about her ancestry, according to Mirrors on Tuesday.
In the episode, Markle talked with Emily Bernards, Ziwe Fumudoh, an American writer of Nigerian descent, and Issa Rae about various topics.
The Duchess of Sussex continued by revealing that she had taken a genealogical test, the results of which showed she is 43% Nigerian.
She said, “I just had my genealogy done a couple of years ago.”
“I’m 43% Nigerian,” to the shock of Ziwe, who responded, “No way!”.
Ziwe further asked, “Are you serious? This is huge. Igbo, Yoruba, do we know?”
The Duchess of Sussex answered, “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?”
Meghan disclosed information about her ancestry to the public for the first time during the podcast revelation.
