Controversy Surrounds Meghan Markle’s Alleged Fabrication of DNA Test Details

Meghan Markle, the Duchess of Sussex, finds herself at the center of a controversy as Nigerians initiate a boycott against her, accusing her of fabricating details about a DNA test.

The controversy emerged after Meghan attended the Prince Harry's Invictus Games and showed her support for a newcomer at the event.

During the 6th edition of the Invictus Games in Düsseldorf, Germany, the 42-year-old Duchess watched the sitting volleyball match between Nigeria and Ukraine.

In a show of support, she even waved the Nigerian flag, demonstrating her allegiance to Team Nigeria, which made its debut this year alongside Colombia and Israel.

Both Meghan and Prince Harry, aged 38, enthusiastically followed the action at Mercer's Spiel Arena.

They engaged with fellow attendees and even posed for selfies while supporting the Nigerian team.

Prince Harry, a British Army veteran and founding patron of the Invictus Games, is known for maintaining neutrality at the International Adaptive Sports Tournament for service personnel and veterans, which he initiated in 2014 during his opening ceremony.

He disclosed that his wife was rooting for Nigeria.

However, a recent analysis article regarding Meghan Markle's heritage has gained considerable attention from Nigerians.

The article raises questions about Meghan's claim, particularly regarding her genetic ancestry, and provides specific evidence contradicting her statements.

Meghan had previously asserted that she has black heritage, but the article argues against this assertion.

It contends that for Meghan to genuinely have ancestral ties to one of the Nigerian tribes, her mother would have had to be the daughter of a Nigerian, which is not the case.

Meghan's family hails from Cleveland, Ohio, and the Raglan surname, from which she claims Nigerian descent, can be traced back to William Raglan, a Methodist and slaveholder who immigrated from Cornwall, England to North America during the 18th century.

The article also questions the validity of Meghan's claim of being 43% Nigerian, pointing out that it seems improbable given her mixed racial heritage.

Furthermore, the article criticizes Prince Harry for publicly discussing the topic, suggesting it showcases a lack of understanding about genetic genealogy and DNA testing.

The controversy surrounding Meghan Markle's alleged fabrication of DNA test details has sparked a debate, with some questioning the accuracy of her claims and the implications of discussing such matters publicly.

In other news, rumors circulate that Meghan Markle is set to make a significant career move with her upcoming memoir, titled “The Duchess of Sussex.”

However, this development could potentially hamper her position in the royal family.

Royal expert Richard Fitzherald shared his views on GB News, stating, “My view is that she is writing her memoir, and it will be a huge money-spinner.

If it's true, it would be a chance for Meghan to research her Nigerian ancestry.”

He further added, “It is very bad news for the royal family.

This book would have huge sales, which could almost guarantee and ensure the rift remains, or is widened if that's possible.”

Yad's deals with Random House were reported to be a four-book deal.

However, if all they have to offer is material that involves an attack on the royal family, as this undoubtedly would be, there is a limit to their appeal.
