The Nigerian-American economist who heads the World Trade Organization opened up on her connection with the duchess, which began during the pandemic.
Though Meghan Markle and Prince Harry planned their recent trip to Nigeria with a focus on the Invictus Games and veterans’ issues in the country, the duchess did get a chance to meet with a friend for a panel on women’s leadership. On May 11, Meghan appeared alongside Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, a Nigerian-American economist who is currently serving as the director-general of the World Trade Organization.
” She added that she was impressed by the fact that the duchess held her own in a room full of experts. “Almost everybody in this room had one or two degrees to their name,” Okonjo-Iweala said. “You could see how she fit into the room very well. an intelligent, thoughtful person.” Meghan and Harry connected with Okonjo-Iweala when they got involved with efforts to ensure COVID-19 vaccines would be distributed to underserved countries.
