Everybody will have their own ideas, of course, but personally I think that the Royal Family were proud to use the high profile of their office to demonstrate that all partners are welcome into their fold.
But I'm torn, because I so disagree with forcing people to be reluctant role models for a whole bunch of strangers with private aspirations and attitudes. Wasn't it Tupac who famously and pertinently said the gist of the message that he didn't know how to be a role model for every other black kid and he had enough on his plate living his own life well.
Why do we do this? If we live in an equal society, why do we have to go on and on about Barack Obama being black and someone else is the first black figure to so such and such? I guess any player in the World Cup might have that angle pushed upon them to contend with. A number of people who have had that moniker thrust upon them, have, like Obama and Meghan been biracial, so presumably feeling that they identify with more than one cultural heritage. Maybe Obama, etc, would have rather just have been themselves.
Did Meghan even self-identity as a champion of a diversity before meeting Harry? Perhaps she wasn't pleased when the British press went on about her heritage.
I don't think a person's race is relevant today and to mention it all the time suggests that it is, as if it's such an amazing thing that a royal could be born biracial. I find that crass. Not everybody wants to be a figurehead who breaks the mould. Margaret Thatcher refused, as I understand it, to be a kind of figurehead for women's rights. I think Meghan should have been left alone to tell us who she is and what she channels.
