Someday your prince will come... pick you up at the club. Austin’s nightclub beau-revealed-to-be Prince Charming, Joel Makonnen, is actually his Imperial Highness Prince Yoel Dawit Makonnen Haile Selassie, the great-grandson of Haile Selassie, the last emperor of Ethiopia. It sounds like the beginning of an email scam, but there’s no faking the breathtakingly regal wedding photos the royal couple took in September, declaring Austin and Makonnen married. Makonnen currently works as a lawyer and Austin works at the Executives' Alliance for Boys and Men of Color. Other American princesses by marriage include actress Grace Kelly, who married His Serene Highness Rainier III, Prince of Monaco, actress Rita Hayworth, who married Prince Aly Khan, and the potential royal upgrade for Meghan Markle, who is currently dating Prince Harry of Wales.
