To the hundreds of millions of people who watched Harry and Meghan marry at St. George’s Chapel on the 19th of May 2016, theirs was a fairy tale come true.

Theirs was not merely a love story, but one with a message, the most important part of which was that the glass ceiling had now been removed for people of colour. The formerly marginalised could now aspire to anything.
