I study biracial identity in America. Here’s why Meghan Markle is a big deal.

This article discusses the implications of the first biracial princess to marry into the royal family. Over the weekend, Meghan Markle married into the royal family and it was not without skepticism. For as long as the country has existed, the royal family has consisted of white members. Now that a biracial bride exists, the implications on the country's social structure and its leadership. Queen Elizabeth has long been criticized for being very close-minded, but having a biracial member of the family perhaps means change. It will be very interesting to see how the country of England morphs and changes over the years to come.
