Meghan Markle’s New Nickname At The Invictus Games Has A Royal Meaning

The nickname given to Meghan Markle can be translated into English, with the word Amira referring to a “warrior princess,” Ngozi meaning “blessed,” and LoLo meaning “royal wife,” per Hello! According to Family Education, the name Amira means “princess” in other languages, including Arabic and Hebrew. Meghan, or should we say, Amira, Blessed Royal Wife, received word of her new nickname about a year after she revealed her own Nigerian heritage. On the October 2022 episode of her “Archetypes” podcast, Meghan said that she did some genealogical testing and the results showed that she is, in fact, 43% Nigerian. “I’m going to start to dig deeper into all this because anybody that I’ve told, especially Nigerian women, are like ‘What!’” she said on her podcast.

During the opening ceremonies for the Invictus Games on September 9, 2023, Prince Harry mentioned his wife’s newly discovered background. “Now, I’m not saying we play favorites in our home, but since my wife discovered she is of Nigerian descent, it’s likely to get a little bit more competitive this year,” he said during his speech, according to People magazine. Meghan, a.k.a. Amira, is expected to stay in Germany with her husband through the closing ceremony, which is slated to take place on September 16, 2023.
