The Duchess of Sussex made the bombshell revelation during her discussion with comedians Issa Rae and Ziwe Fumudoh on her new podcast instalment, titled \u2018Upending The Angry Black Women Myth\u2019. Meghan discovered about her African heritage after taking a genealogy test \u2018a couple years ago\u2019. \u201dI had my genealogy test done a couple of years ago and I am 43 percent Nigerian\u201d. She stated. It comes after Meghan raised eyebrows last year when she said she was \u201cterrified\u201d during her pregnancy with son Archie in a candid interview with Oprah Winfrey.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>See also: <a href=\"https:\/\/paulyne.wp-warriors.com\/2022\/11\/07\/the-woman-king-contradictory-at-first-glance-fascinating-ancient-west-african-kingdom-quite\/\">\u201cThe Woman King\u201d contradictory African history at first glance, Kingdom of Dahomey<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ziwe asked curiously \u201cNo way.

This comes as a surprise to many, as Meghan is typically associated with her British roots. However, it just goes to show that you can never really know where you come from until you do a little digging!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Meghan Markle recently revealed that she is 43% Nigerian.
