Flood: Prince Harry, Meghan Markle Donate To Victims After Duchess Reveals Nigerian Roots

Meghan Markle and Prince Harry’s Archewell Foundation has made donations to Save the Children and UNICEF Nigeria to help provide relief following devastating floods wreaking havoc in Nigeria.

The spokesperson said the unspecified donations to the charities would ‘help provide relief following devastating floods wreaking havoc in Nigeria.’

Floods in the country, blamed by the government on heavy rain and a water release from a dam in neighbouring Cameroon, have killed more than 600 people, displaced around 1.4 million and damaged or destroyed 440,000 hectares of farmland across Nigeria. 

Meanwhile Save the Children Nigeria tweeted: ‘More than 1.5 million children are at risk after devastating flooding in Nigeria. 

‘Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s Archewell Foundation has donated to Save the Children in Nigeria as our teams deliver life-saving supplies to affected families.’ 

The announcement was made after the Duchess of Sussex revealed on her podcast Archetypes on Tuesday that she is 43% Nigerian.

She was joined by guests Issa Rae, Ziwe and Emilye Bernard.

Meghan made the statement after a recent genealogy test.
