The Duchess of Sussex, Meghan Markle, has revealed that she’s 43 per cent Nigerian in a recent explosive interview.

According to UK Mirror, she made this known via the latest episode of her podcast, Archetypes on Tuesday.

She revealed that she holds a strong desire to know more about her roots.

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

When her guests asked her to share what the results entailed, the Duchess said, “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?

“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?” she replied.
