Prince Harry has been known as the wild child of the royal family for years now and he’s really about to shake things up across the pond with his new love interest.
According to People, the prince is dating American actress Meghan Markle and has been for a “couple of months.” And though you might not recognize this on first glance — or from reports describing her as a “beautiful brunette” –Meghan is actually Black.
The 35 year old’s mother is an African American yoga instructor while her father, who is of Dutch and Irish ancestry, is a retired photography director. The LA native is best known for her role as Rachel Zane on the USA drama Suits, but she got her start on the daytime soap opera General Hospital.
In 2013, Meghan divorced her husband of two years, Trevor Engelson, whom she’d dated since 2004. And though neither she nor Harry have confirmed their new relationship, plenty of “sources” have talked to tabloids about the pair, with one source saying the Prince is “happier than he’s been for many years.” Meghan looks pretty happy in London town herself.

Of course some are already assuming the Queen is about to shut this ish down, but we’re hopeful about the royal family getting a little more colorful — even if it’s only for a short while.
