This article discusses Price Harry\u2019s fianc\u00e9, Meghan Markle\u2019s family background, highlighting how race influences the \u201cRoyal Engagement\u201d despite great strides being made with the addition of a mixed-race woman joining the monarchy, a huge milestone breaking hundreds of years of British tradition. Many rumors have begun about Meghan\u2019s non-traditional upbringing with divorced parents, the lack of a father role, and her mother being a woman of color, and half-siblings with a 17-year age gap. This particular article elaborates on how Meghan\u2019s family, addressing rumors alluding to dysfunction. It mentions her parents divorced when she was 6, alluding to a lack of a father relationship, and claims that half-sister has called her a \u201csocial climber\u201d. During an engagement, there should be positive media regarding it, like in William and Kate\u2019s situation. However, with Meghan\u2019s untraditional upbringing, the spotlight has shifted from the engagement to also diving into her background, where race and socioeconomics are highlighted. She\u2019s negatively viewed because these contrast with the royal family\u2019s pristine, established bloodline. Despite these negative depictions, she holds her ground, shining as a strong, female woman in this setting. Her character allows her to overcome this negative media and show that the world is embracing diversity. As she joins the royal family, she will be the first non-British, mixed race woman. This is milestone breaking against the establishment of hundreds of years of tradition and proves that times have changed and England, along with the public, have accepted it despite the media\u2019s attempts.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
