PRINCE HARRY AND MS. MEHAN MARKLE
Since the announcement of the happy couple’s engagement this morning, everyone from royal correspondents to Twitter users have been passing comment on Ms. Markle’s mixed-race heritage.
In 2015, she wrote a first-person piece for Elle magazine explaining how she feels about it.
In part, she spoke of having to fill out a “census” for her English class, with the only options of black, white, Hispanic, or Asian.
“You could only choose one, but that would be to choose one parent over the other – and one half of myself over the other.”
Her teacher told her to pick Caucasian, because – in the teacher’s view – that’s what she looked like. But a young Meghan refused.
“So, I didn’t tick a box. I left my identity blank – a question mark, an absolute incomplete – much like how I felt. When I went home that night, I told my dad what had happened. He said the words that have always stayed with me: ‘If that happens again, you draw your own box.”
