In the latest episode of her podcast, Archetypes, Meghan Markle revealed the result of a genealogical test that she took three years ago. The Duchess of Sussex, stated, “I’m 43% Nigerian.”
Even though she took the genealogy test several years ago, she just now publicly shared the news with Nigerian-American comedian/actress/writer, Ziwe.
“Are you serious? This is huge. Igbo, Yoruba, do we know?” Ziwe asked.
Meghan shared how important it was for her to learn more about where she really comes from. “I’m going to start to dig deeper into all this because anybody that I’ve told, especially Nigerian women, are like, ‘what?’” continued Markle.
Reactions were mixed to the news. Nigerians were elated and took their excitement straight to Twitter. One very excited user immediately claimed The Duchess as family.
Others were less appreciative.
