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/

Certainly this may be true in the future.
