What are your honest views about the royal wedding? Many are excited and eager to see what the future holds for Meghan and Harry in this so called ‘post-racial society’. Personally, I wish we would honour our own African Queens from our homelands, such as:

Queen Aminatu:

Makeda, Queen of Sheba:

Queen Nefertiti:

Queen Ranavalona the First of Madagascar:

Queen Nandi of the Zulu Kingdom:

Those of African and Caribbean descent come from a royal lineage. Our heritage is steeped with Dynasties and Kingdoms. Both past and present, we have a rich history that we should celebrate and take pride in.

Cambridge lecturer Priya Gopal states: “The British royal family operates as a corporate firm rooted in imperialism and hierarchy—and Saturday’s royal wedding was part of a PR exercise”.

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle were married Saturday at Windsor Castle in a ceremony that many heralded for celebrating black culture and history.

Markle is biracial and a self-proclaimed feminist. The wedding featured a sermon about slavery, poverty and the enduring power of love by Bishop Michael Curry, the first African American to preside over the Episcopal Church.

The British royal family is a “celebration of wealth, of elitism, of privilege in the hands of the few, of all the resources concentrated in the hands of a very small percentage of the country. In that sense it very much represents the current economic order in which we all live,” says Priya Gopal, a university lecturer in the faculty of English at the University of Cambridge.
