Meghan Markle Writes to Commend Osun Monarch’s Hospitality During Nigeria Visit. In a heartfelt gesture, Meghan Markle, the wife of Prince Harry, has penned a letter to the Oluwo of Iwo, Oba Abdulrosheed Akanbi, in Osun State, Nigeria. The letter expresses Markle’s sincere appreciation for the warm hospitality and reception she and Prince Harry received during their three-day working visit to the country in May.
According to a release from the monarch’s Press Secretary, Alli Ibrahim, the letter from Meghan Markle acknowledged the Yoruba name, “Adetokunbo,” that Oba Akanbi had bestowed upon her during the visit. The release recalled that the Duke and Duchess of Sussex were invited to Nigeria, and “Oluwo was invited as the only Yoruba Oba to give her a royal reception at Delborough Hotel, Ikoyi, Lagos. Therein, Oba Akanbi bestowed on her a Yoruba name, presented gifts of Ofi and royal beads.”
This gesture by Meghan Markle is seen as a thoughtful acknowledgment of the cultural significance and warm welcome she and Prince Harry experienced during their time in Nigeria. The letter from the Duchess serves as a testament to the importance she places on cross-cultural understanding and appreciation, even in the midst of her high-profile royal duties.
Royal Fans Believe First Lady of Nigeria Took Aim at Meghan Markle’s Clothing Choices
In a separate incident, royal fans believe the First Lady of Nigeria, Senator Oluremi Tinubu, may have taken aim at Meghan Markle’s clothing choices during her visit to the country.
During an event titled “Celebrating the Woman,” organized to mark President Bola Tinubu’s one year in office, the First Lady spoke about recognizing the significant contributions women have made in various spheres of life. While the First Lady’s remarks did not directly mention Meghan Markle, some royal enthusiasts have interpreted her comments as a subtle critique of the Duchess’s attire during her time in Nigeria.
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex’s visit to Nigeria was met with both praise and scrutiny, as they navigated the delicate balance of diplomatic duties and personal preferences. This latest development adds another layer of nuance to the ongoing discussions surrounding Meghan Markle’s public image and the challenges she faces as a member of the Royal Family.
