Editor’s note: If you’re sick of reports on the newest member of the royal family, you should stop reading now.

Bishop Curry Blesses Us With Reflections on the Royal Wedding
There’s no doubt that Meghan Markle and Prince Harry rocked the royal wedding with a transformative message of love and unity. I am still savoring the delicious Africanism woven into the traditional royal ceremony, and I think we can all agree that Episcopalian Bishop Michael Curry was the ingredient that made the flavor official. On…

Why Meghan Markle Matters (Whether We Like It or Not)
Representation matters. We’ve both heard and said it repeatedly: Our visibility and presence—in every arena—is vital to our perception of ourselves and what spaces we believe we deserve to occupy, both in the world and in the scope of the human imagination. And yet, as The Root covered the marriage of Meghan Markle into the…

During a National Action Network rally Saturday in Harlem, the Rev.

Watch: SNL Does a Spot on Send-Up of Bishop Curry From the Royal Wedding
Maybe it’s my political proclivities, but I have to say that this just-ended season of Saturday Night Live was the best they’ve had in years (partly bolstering my theory that the best art comes from darkness, so hip-hop should be back in about five minutes). Not only did the writers and players tear Team Trump…

Fashion and Fascinators: The High Style of Britain’s Blackest Royal Wedding (to Date)
It was a day seemingly made for happily ever after. On Saturday, Meghan Markle’s fairy tale came true when, at last, she married her Prince Charming Harry. The traditionally drizzly English skies gave way to dazzling sunshine, and as many anticipated, the ceremony was as refreshingly unexpected as the pairing of the biracial American actress…

Will the Real Meghan Markle Please Stand Up?
Ahead of her wedding to Prince Harry, sixth-in-line to the British throne, on Saturday, much has been said about the now-former actress soon to be also formerly known as Meghan Markle. She’s been called a social climber, a “pushy princess,” any number of racial epithets, a stain on the royal bloodline and undeserving of a…

Meghan Markle’s White Relatives Are the Messiest of Bitches
Much like my colleague Michael Harriot at The Root, I cannot find a solitary damn to give about the royal wedding. Prior to the news, I, too, had no idea who Meghan Markle was and had no idea there was a show called Suits on the air (but this is less surprising, since I don’t…

Is It Safe to Admit I’m Just Happy It’s the White Side of Meghan Markle’s Family Acting a Damn Fool?
The royal wedding is happening at some point this week. I haven’t been following the news blow by blow, but I know enough to know the main characters. Meghan Markle (who I enjoyed on Suits) is marrying Prince Harry (who is a prince). They look nice together in pictures, like the cover models for a…
