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, โ€œI just had my genealogy done a couple of years ago.โ€

When her guests asked her to share what the results entailed, the Duchess said, โ€œIโ€™m 43% Nigerian,โ€ to the shock of Ziwe, who responded, โ€œNo way!โ€.

Ziwe further asked, โ€œAre you serious? This is huge. Igbo, Yoruba, do we know?

โ€œIโ€™m going to start to dig deeper into all of this because anyone that Iโ€™ve told, especially Nigerian women, are just like, what?โ€ she replied.
