Exclusive:Meghan Markle picks up new two-word nickname on Nigeria ‘royal’ tour

The Sussexes embarked on a three-day trip to Nigeria, coined a ‘mini Royal tour’ and, according to Dr Pauline Maclaran of Royal Holloway University of London, the limelight was primarily cast on Meghan.

Meghan Markle has been christened with a fresh two-word moniker as her ‘mini Royal tour’ seems largely focused on the Duchess.

The visit to Nigeria by Meghan and Prince Harry piqued interest, leading to the Duchess being bestowed with an endearing nickname.

They embarked on a three-day trip to Nigeria, coined a ‘mini Royal tour’ and, according to Dr Pauline Maclaran of Royal Holloway University of London, the limelight was primarily cast on Meghan because of her heritage.

In conversation with the Express, Dr Maclaran revealed: “The visit seems to have gone exceptionally well with the Sussexes receiving very positive feedback from their participation in various events that have all been pretty high profile.

“There seems to have been great delight in Meghan’s revelation that she is 43% Nigerian and fans there are now referring to her as Nigeria’s ‘new princess’.”

Since its creation in 2014, Prince Harry has been responsible for the Invictus Games. As it marks its decade-long journey, Nigeria is contemplating hosting the event, leading to Harry receiving an invite to visit the African nation.
