While the title Duchess of Sussex is the most likely to be bestowed upon Meghan Markle when she marries Prince Harry, the American actress is every bit the strong, modern, feminist princess we need right now. She was, therefore, technically a “commoner.” This is what passed for diversity in the royal family a mere six years ago. It ushers the monarchy into the modern era, or as far into it as is possible for an institution based on hereditary titles. If anything can make The Royal Family relevant in the 21st century, it just might be Meghan Markle. She is the articulate, progressive voice we deserve from a modern monarchy.
