Is That the Sound of Royal Wedding Bells I Hear? By Peter West

     As loyal subjects of the Crown, we are naturally excited about the prospect of another Royal wedding, between Prince Harry and Meghan Markle:

     Here are some interesting facts about the Royal bride to be, who celebrates being biracial, having an African-American mother:  http://www.elleuk.com/life-and-culture/news/a26855/more-than-an-other/

and, apparently,  a Jewish father:  http://www.jpost.com/Not-Just-News/A-Jewish-royal-wedding-492509
Not that any of this should matter when young love is in full swoon.

     I am sure that we all wish the couple well, and rejoice in the increased diversity that their union will bring to the Royal heritage.
     Already we are discovering that England, according to multicultural theorists has had a number of Black kings:

     Certainly this may be true in the future.
