During her tour of an African nation with her husband Harry, Meghan was bestowed with the traditional Yoruba name of Adetokunbo, a blessing that left her "deeply humbled."
The Duchess of Sussex, who discovered her Nigerian heritage through a DNA test, traveled to Nigeria last month for a three-day tour primarily focused on their work surrounding the Duke's Invictus Games.
In a letter to the Imperial Majesty, Meghan expressed her gratitude, stating, "I am deeply humbled by your blessing of the traditional Yoruba name, Adetokunbo. I treasure the name and appreciate your trust in me to carry it with grace and dignity."
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex were invited by Nigeria’s highest-ranking military official, Christopher Musa. Harry joined his wife in Nigeria after attending an Invictus Games service in the UK.
Following a meeting with him at the Nigerian Defence Headquarters, Meghan signed a guest book, expressing her gratitude for being "welcomed home."
Meghan's remarks come as the Prince and Princess of Wales released an emotional statement honoring the memory of Rob Burrow, an English professional rugby league footballer who passed away after battling motor neurone disease for four and a half years.
