When the news of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s matrimonial union in 2018 hit the headlines of every tabloid paper in the world, everything, from the couple’s awe-inspiring love story to the bride’s ‘coloured’ identity, was disussed in the media. Not only did the royal wedding break long-standing imperial rules and protocols, but it also stirred up a discussion around interracial marriages in royal societies around the world.
Besides being the first of its kind to have caught the eye of the public in the recent years, Prince Harry and Meghan’s wedding wasn’t the only interracial marriage throughout royal histories. There have been numerous others that have either been overlooked or have been kept hidden from the world. That being said, here are 6 other royal marriages, apart from Meghan and Harry’s that went beyond racial boundaries.
