Meghan Markle shares daughter Lilibet’s six-word statement that melted her heart

Meghan Markle had to quickly adjust her wardrobe during her trip to Nigeria with Prince Harry in an effort to “fit in”. The Duchess of Sussex took a brief break from Harry on Saturday to co-host a panel event on Women in Leadership

Throughout the day, Meghan sported three different outfits for various events during their unofficial “royal tour” of the African nation. However, it was her final outfit of the evening, a vibrant red dress, that caught everyone’s attention.

The stunning maxi dress, designed by Nigerian designer Orire and priced under £230, was reportedly a last-minute choice, as Meghan told the show audience: “It has been a whirlwind 24 hours since we arrived, and I very quickly got the memo that I need to wear more colour so I can fit in with all of you in your incredible fashion.”

According to a recent genealogy test, Meghan found out she is 43 percent Nigerian. Upon discovering this, she excitedly called her mum, saying it was “exciting” for both of them, reports the Mirror. She previously mentioned that being African-American means “really not knowing so much about your lineage or background, where you come from specifically”.

Previously, she expressed her excitement about exploring her heritage: “It’s been really eye-opening and humbling to be able to know more about my heritage and to be able to know this is just the beginning of that discovery.” In the early hours of Friday, 10 May, the couple landed in Abuja, Nigeria, for their official visit and as part of their day, they visited a school where they talked about mental health and mingled with students.

Both of them were spotted sharing moments with the kids at the Lights Academy, Meghan taking snaps with some of the students and Prince Harry photobombing his wife in cheerful jest. Meghan’s appearance on the talk show followed Harry’s moving speech on mental health stigma while visiting a school on Friday.

He told the attentive audience: “In some places around the world, more than you would believe, there is a stigma against mental health. Too many people don’t want to talk about it because it’s invisible, it’s in your mind and we can’t see it.”

Currently, the Sussex pair are on an engaging 72-hour visit to Nigeria, hot on the heels of Harry’s short stay in the UK when he visited just a day after his son, Prince Archie, turned five.
