Women of colour celebrate 'black princess' Meghan Markle - and liken the royal engagement to Obama's election

Since the announcement of Harry and Meghan's engagement last week, people have been celebrating with the hashtag 'black princess', likening the moment to Obama's election.













The FIRST 'black princess' in Europe

Angela Gisela Brown became the first black woman to marry into a ruling European royal family when she wed Prince Maximilian of Liechtenstein in 2000.

Panama-born Angela, a graduate of New York's Parsons Design School ran her own fashion label A. Brown and also worked as a fashion director for Adrienne Vittadini prior to her marriage.

She met the prince, who is eleven years her junior, at a reception in New York and the pair were married at the Church of St. Vincent Ferrer in New York, with Angela wearing a gown she'd designed herself.

A year after their wedding, their son Prince Alfons was born and the family live a low key life, largely shunning the spotlight.

Like Harry, Prince Maximilian is a second son (of reigning Prince Hans-Adam II of Liechtenstein) and is unlikely to inherit the throne, allowing him to live a relatively normal life.

Princess Angela occasionally participates in ceremonial events in the principality.

I find it strange that they consider her black. She looks much more Latina, she reminds me a bit of Jennifer Lopez.

That's a disgusting inter specie specimen. Truly revolting to the eye.

She won't a princess though. She'll most likely be a duchess.

One drop rule.

Meghan is way more White than Black. lol I'd be surprised if her core group of girlfriends had more than one token Black girl tbh.

I actually just found it interesting because she was American and I would have assumed that was enough for her to be frowned upon lol
