For SheKnows, I wrote about my investment in Duchess Meghan Markle’s pregnancy and why I’m worried that all the negativity will drown out the fact that the world just welcomed its first biracial royal baby.
This is not a drill! Meghan, Duchess of Sussex and Prince Harry have announced the arrival of Baby Boy Sussex! And with that, the world has welcomed the first-ever mixed-race child born to the Windsor family.
Even those who question why so many non-Brits care about the royal family have to admit: this is a legitimately noteworthy event. Because when Meghan and Prince Harry started dating in 2016, no one guessed it would lead here: an American woman of color (a divorced actress, no less!) marrying into British royalty and becoming the mother of the seventh-in-line to rule.
The unfathomable has been fathomed. And I’m stoked! And terrified.
