A recent scandal has rocked the royal world as Nigerians express outrage over Meghan Markle’s alleged fabrications regarding her DNA test results.
The Duchess of Sussex, Meghan Markle, found herself in hot water after Nigerians accused her of misleading the public about her heritage.
The controversy unfolded during the 6th edition of Prince Harry’s Invictus Games in Dusseldorf, Germany, where Meghan was seen fervently supporting Team Nigeria during a sitting volleyball match against Ukraine.
Meghan, 42, was captured waving a Nigerian flag, showcasing her solidarity with the Nigerian team, which made its debut alongside Colombia and Israel at the prestigious event.
Accompanied by Prince Harry, 38, who is a staunch advocate for the Invictus Games, Meghan’s enthusiastic display of support for Nigeria drew attention and praise from attendees.
Despite Harry’s role as a neutral figure at the tournament, he openly declared his wife’s allegiance to Nigeria during his opening ceremony speech.
The unfolding drama took a sharp turn when an incriminating analysis article surfaced, challenging Meghan’s claims about her Nigerian ancestry.
The article, which quickly gained traction on social media with numerous retweets and likes from Nigerians, refuted Meghan’s assertions by presenting compelling evidence.
The author dissected Meghan’s lineage, highlighting inconsistencies and implausibilities in her purported Nigerian roots.
The article delved into Meghan’s family history, tracing back to William Ragland, a Methodist and slaveholder who migrated from Cornwall, England, to North America in the 18th century.
Contrary to Meghan’s assertions, the author argued that her family’s origins could be firmly linked to Cleveland, Ohio, rather than Nigeria.
Furthermore, the author questioned the validity of Meghan’s claimed Nigerian heritage, citing the dubious nature of her DNA test results.
Critics pointed out the unlikelihood of Meghan possessing a substantial Nigerian genetic makeup, given her father’s predominantly white ancestry and her mother’s mixed heritage.
Skepticism grew around Meghan’s alleged 43% Nigerian lineage, with experts dismissing the notion of recessive genes playing a significant role in ethnic DNA testing.
The controversy surrounding Meghan’s ancestry cast doubt on the credibility of her statements and raised questions about Prince Harry’s endorsement of her claims.
As the scandal deepens, Nigerians continue to voice their disappointment and frustration over what they perceive as a deceitful portrayal of heritage by a prominent public figure.
The revelation has sparked debates on social media platforms, with many calling for transparency and accountability from Meghan and the royal couple.
The fallout from this controversy threatens to tarnish Meghan’s reputation and raises concerns about the authenticity of her narrative.
