And now here's supposedly the first paparazzi pic of Harry and Meghan walking out of a theater in London. Wow, they look like a real live normal young couple out for a stroll together.

Meghan wrote a feature in Elle UK, about creating her own identity and not being defined by the 'other' label as a biracial individual.

Actually, everyone is mixed, but our culture places particular emphasis on being categorized as different if you have a 'black' parent and a 'white' parent. Many people from such unions tend to identify as what they look like, e.g. Halle Berry tends to identify more as being black. Barack Obama has a multicultural upbringing and he was largely raised by his white grandparents. He identifies as black, yet he carries no baggage or chips on his shoulder because his white mother reinforced in him only positive things about being black.
In Meghan's case, both her father and mother encouraged her to be her own person, to create her own identity, to not be bound within the confines of other people's limited views and biases. As Meghan says,
"I refused to check off one box or the other ... my father encouraged me to draw my own box." As a result, she seems pretty chill about who she is, and unafraid of claiming every aspect of her heritage.
And oh yes, Harry and Meghan are in the midst of an approximately six-month relationship, so the media should stop falling all over themselves trying to rush Harry and his current girlfriend to the altar. As well, those who are weirdly apoplectic, startled or in denial about the possibility of this 'royal' relationship heading in any direction maybe should research their own genealogy and/ or face the facts about human history. Sure, Harry and Meghan dating is a non-story to most people who are uninterested in European royals and minor Hollywood actors/ celebs. Albeit that Meghan's life and personality are not simply defined by acting in minor movie roles and starring in a successful cable television series. Nor does she appear to be defined by who she is presently in a relationship with.
