Nigerians Outraged as Meghan Markle Faces Backlash Over Alleged DNA Test Fabrication

Meghan Markle, the Duchess of Sussex, found herself at the center of a storm of controversy as Nigerians expressed their outrage over claims that she falsified the results of a DNA test.

The uproar stemmed from an incident during the 6th edition of Prince Harry's Invictus Games in Dusseldorf, Germany, where Meghan was spotted fervently supporting Team Nigeria during a sitting volleyball match against Ukraine.

Displaying her solidarity, she proudly waved the Nigerian flag, showcasing her apparent allegiance to the team.

This display of support for Nigeria was not an isolated incident, as Meghan has been consistently backing the newly participating Nigerian team, along with Colombia and Israel, throughout the Invictus Games.

Alongside her husband, Prince Harry, who is a staunch advocate for the tournament, Meghan's enthusiastic engagement with attendees and fans further highlighted her dedication to the cause.

Despite Prince Harry's neutral stance on the international adaptive sports event he founded, he publicly acknowledged Meghan's vocal support for Nigeria during the opening ceremony.

However, the jubilant atmosphere surrounding Meghan's gestures of solidarity took a sharp turn when an incisive analysis article questioning the authenticity of her ancestral roots gained traction online.

The article meticulously debunked Meghan's claims about her Nigerian heritage, citing genealogical evidence that contradicted her assertions.

The author of the article emphasized that Meghan's lineage does not trace back to any Nigerian tribes, as she had purportedly suggested.

Delving deeper into the controversy, the article dismantled Meghan's alleged genetic makeup, particularly scrutinizing her assertion of being 43% Nigerian.

The author dismissed this claim as unfounded, pointing out the implausibility of such a genetic composition based on Meghan's family background.

With Meghan's father identified as entirely white and her mother having less than 100% African ancestry, the purported Nigerian connection was deemed highly dubious by the article's author.

Moreover, the article cast a critical eye on Prince Harry's endorsement of Meghan's contested heritage, labeling his public support as misguided and indicative of his lack of discernment.

Drawing on extensive experience in genetic genealogy, the author refuted the notion of recessive genes playing a role in ethnic DNA testing, underscoring the scientific implausibility of Meghan's proclaimed Nigerian lineage.

The article's scathing critique challenged the credibility of Meghan's narrative and called into question the veracity of her claims regarding her ancestry.

As the controversy surrounding Meghan Markle's alleged fabrication of DNA test results continues to unfold, Nigerians remain steadfast in their condemnation of what they perceive as a deceitful portrayal of heritage.
