Duchess of Sussex thanks Nigerians for ‘welcoming me to my country’

The Duchess of Sussex has thanked Nigerian women for welcoming her to “my country”, saying that she hopes she can “do justice” to being a “role model”. The Duchess has previously spoken of discovering she is “43 per cent Nigerian” in a genealogy test. Speaking at a women in leadership event, she said people had told her many times during her Nigeria trip that they “weren’t surprised” to learn her heritage. Defining Nigerian women as “brave, resilient, courageous, powerful, beautiful”, the Duchess said: “It is the most flattering thing to be in that company, to be in your company.” #meghan #sussex #nigeria Read more here: Subscribe to The Telegraph with our special offer: just £1 for 3 months.
