Prince Harry, the Duke of Sussex and Meghan Markle, Duchess of Sussex, Make Charity Donation To Nigeria's Flood Victims

Prince Harry, the Duke of Sussex and Meghan Markle, Duchess of Sussex have donated an undisclosed sum to charities working in Nigeria via their Foundation, the Archewell Foundation.

The amount donated (unspecified) is for victims devastated by the flood ravishing parts of Nigeria.

About 1.3 million people have been displaced by the floods. The flooding has killed over 600 people and injuring more than 2,400.

According to Sky News, in a press release, a Spotify representative confirmed the Archewell Foundation had made donations to both UNICEF and Save the Children.

While Nigeria typically experiences seasonal flooding, the floods are the worst the country has seen since the 2012 major flood which displaced more than 2.1 million people.

The spokesperson said the donations, of an undisclosed amount, would “help provide relief following devastating floods wreaking havoc in Nigeria”.

Meghan earlier this week shared her genealogy results in the latest episode of Archetypes, titled “Upending the Black Angry Woman Myth” and featuring comedian Ziwe Fumudoh.

"I just had my genealogy done a couple of years ago. I am 43 percent Nigerian,” she told her Nigerian-American guest.

The California-based royal said she doesn’t know what tribe her ancestors came from, but intended to “start to dig deeper into all of this”.
