The obvious guess is Prince Charles. But I wouldn’t be surprised if it was his brother and sister-in-law. hollywoodreporter.com/news/oprah-say…
I was in a seven year relationship with a WM and let me tell you, I have stories. This question is VALID.

The reason I guessed William and the sister-in-law, is bc I found that younger people felt like they could make comments like this casually. And play it off as half-joking, but be serious.
Plus older royals would have seen enough “quadroons” to know that was a dumb concern.

First thing my partner’s brother said to him when he found out we were dating is “Ooh. You have jungle fever.”
And this he was a friend of mine. Hell, his wife was my best friend. We had known each other since childhood.

Their cousin married a Black man and had a baby. We went to visit the newborn who was white-skinned. This made sense to me as most Black babies come out white and darken. She says to me, smiling:
“You could have a baby like this too! We calculated and she’s actually 70% white.”
“You could have a baby like this too! We calculated and she’s actually 70% white.”
Guys this was not an “ancestry.com” thing. She had come up with that percentage HERSELF.
I went home and told my mom and we had a good laugh abt how surprised she would be as that child inevitably darkens thru her first 2 yrs. But also we were concerned!

But Prince Charles is a good guess too. I hated going to their family functions because his uncles and older cousins would call me Keisha. (I think there was an actual Keisha that someone else had dated. Perhaps the only other Black woman they knew.)
And everyone would laugh.

And these people were poor af. I can’t imagine how rich - literally entitled - white people act.
I’m going to stop now before I get too upset. But yeah. I get it Meghan. God Bless you, girl.

One more thing.
His Aunt baked us a cake, it was half vanilla, half chocolate. She said it was bc she didn’t know which one I’d like (ask?!?) Anyway I took a vanilla piece and someone handed him chocolate.
Aunt 2: “Look he has the chocolate and Azie likes the white one!”

Oh wow. I’m crying now, unexpectedly. I used to tell these stories as jokes. But now I just don’t tell them.
People don’t know how traumatic this shit is. As @susanfaleshill once said to me “race warps our most intimate and fundamental relationships”.
How true that is.
