Meghan is a woman who has issues….Mother African-American; father Dutch-Irish-Scottish-German, VOX claims he’s half Jewish, that’s six countries at least in her ancestry before we unpack the religions involved in all that, Baptist, Roman Catholic, Muslim, Jewish, perhaps agnostic or atheist, … although the percentages and depth of her ancestry are deeply unknown at the moment. Compared to Africa and America,… being Dutch, Irish, German or Scottish are not places nor is African-American an ancestor. What are we to make of Meghan Markle, soon to join the royalty of the world as Mrs. Prince Harry?

Born in America . . . . so she’s American, not from Africa at all. But her mom is black and definitely, somehow, of somewhere in Africa.

Africa is bigger than three times the United States. Her mom seems to have ancestors from Western Africa. Nigeria, Cote d’Ivorie, Ghana, Liberia but nothing clear or definite there but maybe present day Liberia or Ghana. Bone structure and face shape and all that but Meghan’s DNA is some kind of ‘racial mixture’, —- whatever that means. President Obama’s father was Kenyan but we seem not to have place information about Meghan’s African ancestors. A DNA analysis can pinpoint it more. Perhaps someday that will be analysed and we will know more. Why is that important? 

It must be important because loads of people go to great lengths; family history research, 23Me DNA analysis even though it’s rather general in many cases, to find out from where their ancestors came. 

But the great problem with identifying Meghan with America, Africa, Ireland and Holland is how did the racial DNA components combine? There’s no way to know. We can study her appearance and make guesses but what about all of the things that make up Meghan? What parts for example of her brain are to be attributed to say Ireland? Or Africa? No answer. No answer because it’s unknowable. 

We know however that she’s a successful person. She’s also more than the average good looker. Her appearance and her appearances on SUITS, are all that’s available on which to evaluate her and that’s never enough. Individuals are for more complex than their appearance. More complex than their DNA. Even Meghan herself doesn’t have enough information about herself to evaluate herself. She doesn’t have sufficient information for example to know either why exactly she’s in love with Prince Harry. Not one of us has information like that. 

That she is in love is what this is about, Without the love there is no love story. With it and the world changed. That’s the story of soon-to-be-Princess Elect Meghan Markle. What about her last name if she marries Prince Harry? When Prince Harry served in the military, he was called Harry Wales — because his father is the Prince of Wales. Princess Meghan Markle Wales which will be: “HRH (Her Royal Highness) Prince Harry of Wales which will probably be shortened by the public to: ‘Princess Meghan’.   

Harry will probably be bestowed a Dukedom when he ties the knot, with experts believing the couple would become the Duke and Duchess of Sussex.

Meghan was born and raised in California but recently lived in Toronto, Canada, where ‘SUITS’ is filmed.

Psychologically she has deep issues. Any woman who can call the American President a hater of women as she did, is more than a little bit suspicious intellectually when the man clearly is not at all misogynist. Wiki defines Misogyny as the hatred of women.
That’s the opposite of president Trump, a man who has loved three women so much he married them, … which woman haters do not do.

So the next English Princess is a bit more that a bit whacked. Although having ‘princess’ as a title before your first name is an honor reserved for women who are born into the Royal Family – such as Princess Charlotte, the public often follows a different set of rules so most likely it’s ‘Princess Meghan’ for the American set to marry a real prince. It’s a sort of a double romantic double header. Harry is certainly a prince as well as being a prince of a guy, Meghan is going to marry a prince so she will become a princess even though she’s a princess of a person. It’s a catch for both of them and both are in love. Live long and prosper Meghan and Harry. Hope her historic baggage isn’t their undoing…

“Had I the heaven’s embroidered cloths,
Enwrought with golden and silver light,
The blue and the dim and the dark cloths
Of night and light and the half-light,
I would spread the cloths under your feet:
But I have only my dreams;
I have spread my dreams under your feet;
Tread softly because you tread on my dreams
. . . . . W. B. Yeats
