During a recent visit to Nigeria, Meghan Markle stirred up confusion with her unexpected remarks about missing her children.
Expressing sorrow over being away from Archie and Lilibet on US Mother’s Day, she mentioned feeling it was fitting to be in the motherland.
This statement left many Nigerians perplexed, especially those who had invested heavily for Harry and Meghan’s presence in Nigeria.
In a casual greeting, Meghan greeted her audience and expressed gratitude for their participation.
She delved into a discussion about the London Lost Rivers, a topic that resonated with many viewers.
Exploring the hidden rivers beneath London, Meghan highlighted the existence of underground water sources, such as the one in Fleet Street, known for its historical association with newspaper publishers and print works.
Reflecting on the past glory of Fleet Street, Meghan mentioned a popular pub, the Old Cheshire Cheese, where reporters used to gather.
She teased the idea of visiting the pub with her camera crew, reminiscing about the area’s rich journalistic history.
Transitioning back to the main story, Meghan’s reference to Nigeria as the motherland raised eyebrows, as it seemed to disregard her diverse heritage, including American and Maltese roots.
On Mother’s Day in the United States, Meghan expressed longing for her children, Prince Archie and Princess Lily, while being in Nigeria.
This sentiment puzzled many Nigerians, particularly since the original invitation extended to Harry and Meghan also included their children and Meghan’s mother, Doria Raglan.
Despite the inclusive offer, Meghan chose not to elaborate on her decision to leave her children behind.
The perceived safety of Nigeria over the United Kingdom became a point of contention, with Prince Harry’s previous comments about the UK being portrayed as a dangerous place.
This contrast in perceptions left observers questioning Meghan’s choice to travel without her children, especially when the opportunity to bring them along was readily available.
Behind the scenes, there were murmurs of confusion among those involved in the couple’s arrangements, who were advised against addressing the issue publicly.
While acknowledging Meghan’s possible genuine feelings of missing her children, questions lingered about her decision not to include them in the trip.
The all-inclusive nature of the travel arrangements presented a unique opportunity for the young royals to explore another country and connect with their mother’s heritage.
As speculations swirled, the enigmatic nature of Meghan’s choices continued to fuel discussions and debates among royal watchers and the public.
