Meghan Markle and Prince Harry have donated an unspecified amount to charities working in Nigeria to ‘help provide relief following devastating flooding’ after the Duchess revealed she is 43 percent Nigerian.
The Duchess of Sussex, 41, in her latest Archetypes Podcast series released on Tuesday explained she discovered she is 43 percent Nigerian after doing a genealogy test ‘a couple years ago’.
And in a press release which accompanied the episode, a Spotify representative confirmed that the couple's Archewell Foundation made donations to Save the Children and UNICEF.
The spokesperson said the unspecified donations to the charities would 'help provide relief following devastating floods wreaking havoc in Nigeria, Daily Mail reports.
Floods in the country, blamed on heavy rain and a water release from a dam in neighbouring Cameroon, have killed more than 600 people, displaced around 1.4 million and damaged or destroyed 440,000 hectares of farmland across Nigeria.
Save the Children Nigeria tweeted: “More than 1.5 million children are at risk after devastating flooding in Nigeria.
“Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's Archewell Foundation has donated to Save the Children in Nigeria as our teams deliver life-saving supplies to affected families.”
The couple have previously given their support to Save The Children, with Meghan sharing a video alongside their son Archie for the charity's Save with Stories campaign in 2020.
Speaking to Nigerian-American comedian Ziwe, Meghan explained: 'I just had my genealogy done a couple years ago... [I'm] 43 per cent Nigerian.'
During the episode which was titled 'Upending The Angry Black Women Myth', the Duchess said she is 'going to start to dig deeper into all this' during her discussion with comedians Issa Rae and Ziwe Fumudoh on her new podcast instalment.
She added: “I'm going to start to dig deeper into all this because anybody that I've told, especially Nigerian women, are like "What!"'
“This is huge for our community,' a shocked Ziwe, 30, replied. 'No, honestly, you do look like a Nigerian, you look like my Aunt Uzo. So this is great.”
