First Lady of Nigeria Denies Claims She Dissed Meghan Markle's 'Dressing'


The First Lady of Nigeria, Oluremi Tinubu, has denied speculation that she allegedly claimed Meghan Markle dressed inappropriately on her official tour of the country

“I think, being African-American, part of it is not really knowing so much about your genealogy, background, where you came from specifically,” Meghan said on May 10, also noting that she felt that she could relate to the young Nigerian women she met during the engagements. In the speech, Oluremi did not directly call Meghan — who rose to fame as an actor, retiring in 2018 when she married Harry, now 39 — one of the American “film stars.” “I feel like when I’m not with her, she has more room to play,” Daniel Martin, who previously handled the Duchess of Sussex’s wedding day makeup, exclusively told Us Weekly in May.
