Meghan Markle and the Nigeria Connection
Meghan Markle had previously revealed that a DNA test showed she is 43% Nigerian. In this context, the First Lady’s remark, “She came all this way to search for Africa,” questioned the purpose of Markle’s visit to Nigeria. She also emphasized that Markle should not forget her identity.
Clothing Choices and Criticism
Meghan Markle’s style of dress, which drew criticism from Nigeria’s First Lady, became a topic of widespread discussion. Experts argued that Markle should have opted for more modest and traditional clothing. Criticism was particularly directed at the amount of skin she showed in her outfit choices.
Some fashion experts commented that Markle revealed too much skin and should have been more careful during an official visit. It was noted that these criticisms could also affect Markle’s public image.
