As the wedding of His Royal Highness Prince Harry to American Meghan Markle approaches, it seems the whole world is fascinated. Meghan Markle’s biracial heritage, particularly having an African-American mother, Doria Radlan, has been the focus of many. However, is it surprising that one of Princess Diana’s sons is marrying a biracial woman? Princess Diana became the “people’s princess” because during the height of the HIV/AIDS crisis, she removed her gloves to hug and shake hands with those diagnosed with the disease. Her act of humanity was also an act of bravery when most were afraid to touch victims for fear of being exposed to the disease. Her work in Africa and eastern Europe to remove landmines from war torn countries and assist victims of land mines is a charity that Prince Harry has taken over. In the documentary, Diana, Our Mother, Princes William and Harry talk about the nurturing and fun loving side of their mother that the world did not see. Prince Harry said that she was “a total kid and one of the naughtiest parents.” Her motto to him was “you can be as naughty as you want, just don’t get caught.” Is there any wonder that Prince Harry, like his mother, would buck tradition and make his own rules when it came to his marriage?
