Is Meghan Markle Going To Be Prince Harry’s Jewish Princess?

Jews have to find a link and include themselves into everything, even when it is some fantasy bullshit.

Is Meghan Markle Going To Be Prince Harry's Jewish Princess?

Jewish and black girls have been mocked for their hair, their bodies and their other-ness. But they might be about to get a heroine at Buckingham Palace.

It's a real-life fairy tale for everyone who has been feeling like a pre-ball Cinderella in the Trump era: Prince Harry, the international playboy and longtime sex-symbol who is fifth in line for the British throne, has announced his engagement to Meghan Markle, an American actress.

Markle is known for her work in the American TV show "Suits". Her mother is black and her father is white. And though many publications have reported that Markle's father is Jewish, a publicist denied that she herself is a member of the tribe.

"Just to clarify...she is not Jewish," said Chantal Artur, the publicist, in an email, without elaborating.

Markle, who told Elle that she answers the question "What are you" every single week of her life, has not spoken to the media about her religious background or that of her father.

But she has given some serious Queen Esther vibes. Here are 4 kind of, sort of Jewish things about her:

•Her real name is Rachel. While we have all met 90-100 wonderful Megans, Meagans, and Meghans at Jewish summer camp, 'Rachel' is straight out of Genesis and totally the kind of name your dad would give you if he was trying to subtly imbue your identity with your religious heritage. Plus, changing your name (or in this case, taking your middle name as a stage name) is a classic rite of passage for Jewish performers. Just ask Natalie Hershlag and Jonathan Stuart Leibowitz.

•Markle's first marriage was to film producer Trevor Engelson, a Jewish man from Great Neck, New York. Their wedding involved what The Sun tersely referred to as a "traditional Jewish chair dance".

•She has said that she is sometimes labeled "Sephardic" at auditions. Think about it—35-year old actresses and lifestyle gurus don't throw around the word Sephardic unless they are Sephardic. She might as well change her name to "Kitniyot Markle".

•Disney has had a frog prince, a lion king, and a royal mermaid, and all we've had is the Crusades followed by the Inquisition. A Jewish princess just seems fair.

Her being maybe jewish - even if Sephardic - makes everything OK, Maz.  She's a bit dark, but, so what, she might be, sort of, jewish.  Just shows that the royal family is progressive! 

That's a lot different from Harry's mother, Diana, who had a sort-of-dark partner, Dodi, but...oops...Dodi was a Moosslluum, and, we all know how that turned out, don't we.

Here's a great article about Harry and Meg...oops, Rachel...that's full of interesting pedigree details with pictures.

But, Prince Harry's uncle, Prince Andrew, might be a bit pissed off.  After all, decades ago, he had a pretty little American actress, Koo Stark, and she was white, too, but, apparently, the Queen said no.  Guess Koo wasn't a jew.

Koo Stark's racy past ended her relationship with Prince Andrew

Is Meghan Markle Jewish?
(2nd Edition)
http://semiticcontroversies.blogspot.com/2017/11/is-meghan-markle-jewish.html

Prince Harry Windsor's paramour and celebrity girlfriend Meghan Markle – who is to be Harry's future wife – has been recently put forward as being jewish by a series of widely-read fashion and gossip magazines. (1)

The fact is however that her mother Doria Ragland is black and as far as I can is neither a Hebrew Israelite or has ever claimed to be part of the Lemba tribe from southern Africa, (2) which claim jewish ancestry and for which there is some genetic evidence. (3)

Nor is her father Thomas Markle a member of the tribe. He is in fact Irish and there is no indication as far as I can see that there are any 'jews in the woodpile', (4) especially as jews are a very small minority in Ireland and have been throughout its history. (5)

There is also strong evidence that a story of Markle's conversion to or from – depending on whom you read – Judaism is pure fantasy. (6)

Jenny Singer's contention that Markle is jewish is a based off the fact that Markle did a 'jewish chair dance' at her wedding to her jewish first husband Trevor Engelson, has changed her first name from Rachel to Meghan ('a common jewish practice') and has said that jewish producers at casting calls have mentioned that she 'looks Sephardic'. (7)

Not exactly a strong 'positive case' if one can even call it a case at all...

The simple fact is that there is no evidence whatsoever that Meghan Markle is jewish.

Is she, or isn't she? Nobody seems to know for sure; except her, maybe.  Karl Radl in the preceding post says she isn't, and Mike Walsh says below that she is.

Whatever she is, she's so surrounded by jews, we can feel sure that she's no "anti-semite."

GUESS WHO IS PLAYING CUPID
https://europeansworldwide.wordpress.com/2017/11/29/guess-who-is-playing-cupid/

Designer Misha Nonoo is the Jewish best friend of Ms. Markle and is said to have introduced the actress to her prince in 2016. The royal couple was keen to protect their "matchmaker's" identity in their first official interview after they announced their engagement this week.

Speaking about her, without giving away any names, Prince Harry said: "It was through her and then we met once and then twice back to back two dates in London, last July.

[...]

Ms. Nonoo, expected to be a guest at Ms. Markle's wedding, attended Prince William's wedding to Kate Middleton in 2011. Her aunt is Houda Ezra Ebrahim Nonoo, the first female Bahraini ambassador to the United States and the first Jewish ambassador of any Arab country.

Meghan Markle is not Catholic, although she attended a Catholic school. She is officially Jewish, as she converted to Judaism when she married her previous husband. She will now be baptised in the dear old Church of England.
