Meghan Markle opens up about her genetic heritage in her latest archetypes episode with Ziwe from Showtime

“I just had my genealogy done” &#8211; Meghan Markle Speaks Up About Her Nigerian Roots on the Latest Archetypes Episode

Ever since the Duchess of Sussex, Meghan Markle, started off with Archetypes on
Spotify, Tuesdays come with a bombshell revelation for the audience. Starting
from the initial days of her career to all the perils of life she had at her
threshold, Markle has revealed it all. However, this Tuesday, the former
American actress opened up about her genetic heritage.

While most of us were under the notion that the Duchess is purely American since
it is her native, turns out there is much more than what meets the eye. Far away
from the lands of North America, on the coast of West Africa, Markle finds her
origin. The previous day, along with other guests, she revealed she was
half-Nigerian by birth. Dive in deeper to know the ins and outs. 


MEGHAN MARKLE REVEALS HER NIGERIAN ROOTS FOR THE FIRST TIME IN PUBLIC 

Markle’s latest podcast centered around decoding the myths about black women.
The episode shed light on the irrational reason behind them getting labeled with
certain default attributes and how the world together as one community can fix
it. While deciphering the same, she engaged in a conversation with Ziwe Fumudoh
of ‘Ziwe’ Showtime
[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OzXBikAnpgc&list=PLZ8c54cxQG2GoLdl43UskIDfF57AGBhTk].
Ziwe is a talented writer and comedian, whose show challenges America’s
troublesome front with issues like race, politics, etc.

The two powerful women started conversing about the world’s apparent problem
with Black women. In the course of the episode, the American comedian actress
happened to share the fact that she was a Nigerian by birth. Having a safe place
to share, Meghan Markle revealed that she was also 43% Nigerian. This came as a
huge shock to not only the audience but the guests who accompanied her. Ziwe
almost jumped out of the seat out of excitement, confirming the fact with
others. 



Markle dived a little deeper and talked about her “genealogy done a couple of
years ago.” She also revealed that she will soon explain all of it with better
in-depth analysis, as anyone whom she had told seemed to be taken in by
disbelief. This was the first time the former American actress spoke about her
genetic origins on a public platform.
