Meghan Markle, the Duchess of Sussex, recently addressed critical remarks made by Nigeria’s First Lady, Aisha Buhari, about her and Prince Harry. Buhari’s comments suggested that the couple’s actions since stepping back from their royal duties in 2020 were harmful to the British royal family’s image.

In an interview, Meghan Markle accused Aisha Buhari of being ‘inauthentic’ and defended her and Harry’s commitment to humanitarian work through their organization, Archewell. Markle stressed the importance of public figures supporting each other, especially women in influential positions, and expressed disappointment in Buhari’s remarks.

The controversy has sparked a wider discussion about the role of public figures in advocating for social issues. Supporters of Markle argue that she and Harry have highlighted crucial issues like mental health and racial inequality, while critics believe their media presence has been divisive.

Public opinion is mixed, with some praising Markle’s defense and others suggesting that both parties should focus on their philanthropic efforts rather than engaging in public disputes. Aisha Buhari has not responded to Markle’s comments.
