Meghan Markle Looks Forward to Returning ‘Home’ to Nigeria

Meghan Promises to Return to Nigeria with Harry and Kids: In a heartfelt letter, the Duchess of Sussex expressed her excitement about the prospect of revisiting Nigeria, a place she now considers her “home.” Meghan wrote to the Imperial Majesty, thanking him for the warm hospitality she and her family experienced during their recent trip to the African nation, where she was grateful for the “opportunity to understand my heritage.”

Prince Harry and Meghan traveled to Nigeria last month for a three-day tour, primarily to continue the duke’s work with the Invictus Games. However, the visit held a deeper significance for Meghan, who discovered through a DNA test that she is 43% Nigerian. “This is my country,” she proclaimed with a sense of pride.

In the letter obtained by the Western Post, Meghan wrote to the Oluwu of Iso, Oba Abdulrosheed Akanbi: “Your Imperial Majesty, Thank you for your warm welcome to Nigeria… Our visit to Nigeria was important for many reasons, but not least because it gave us an opportunity to explore and understand my heritage, which extends to our children. We look forward to coming back home one day.”

During the visit, the Duchess of Sussex was also bestowed with the traditional Yoruba name of Adetokunbo, a blessing that left her “deeply humbled.” In her letter, she expressed her gratitude, stating, “I am deeply humbled by your blessing of the traditional Yoruba name, Adetokunbo. I treasure the name and appreciate your trust in me to carry it with grace and dignity.”

Meghan and Harry were invited by Nigeria’s highest-ranking military official, Christopher Musa, and after meeting him at the Nigerian Defence Headquarters, the duchess signed a guest book, thanking officials for “welcoming me home.”

Previously, Meghan had shared her deep affection for Nigeria, telling People Magazine: “It was such warm hospitality and it was a really meaningful trip. It was incredibly memorable and special. That alone is the best souvenir to take with us – all the memories we’ve made.”

The couple traveled without their two children, five-year-old Prince Archie and two-year-old Princess Lilibet, but hinted that more overseas trips are in the works. Harry expressed the importance of meeting people directly to “bring about solutions, support and positive change,” acknowledging that there is only so much that can be done from home or over Zoom.

The recent visit to Nigeria was focused on promoting both the Archewell Foundation and the Invictus Games, in which Nigeria joined for the first time last year. Harry shared his joy at the growth of Invictus and the inclusion of Nigeria, stating, “You know what Africa means to me over the years. It is a very, very special place, and to be able to include Nigeria now [in Invictus], I’m very happy.”

As the Sussexes look forward to returning “home” to Nigeria, their deep connection to the African nation and their desire to make a positive impact in the world shine through.
