Dr. Uzochukwu Stanley, CEO of ‘The Delborough Lagos,’ played host at the prestigious Delborough Hotel in Lagos, where Meghan was honored with royal titles by powerful traditional rulers from Eastern and Western Nigeria.

The Obi of Onitsha, His Majesty Igwe Nnaemeka Alfred Ugochukwu Achebe, conferred on the Duchess the chieftaincy title, “Ada Mazi,” meaning “the daughter of the Igbo ancestral palace.”

Meanwhile, the Oluwo of Iwoland, Oba Abdulrasheed Adewale Akanbi, bestowed on her the Yoruba name of “Adetokunbo,” meaning “royalty from across the seas.”

The Duke and Duchess were ushered into the Delborough with exciting cultural dance displays by different dancing troops to their admiration.

In response, Meghan described Nigeria as “my country,” noting that “being African American, part of it is not knowing so much about your lineage or background, where you come from specifically. And it was exciting … to discover more and understand what that really means.

“Thank you for welcoming me home.”

The couple had been invited to the West African nation by the country’s Chief of Defense Staff, Christopher Musa.
