        Even still though, how would falling in love with a continent equal falling in love with a POC? I'm confused all the way around on this one. Can't believe this came from the BBC.

        I think the commenters make it about race. I think they are literally saying royals have always loved Africa, not just Prince Harry. And that's true. Commenters are twisting it trying to be funny. SMH

        I think Harry and Megan's engagement is relevant right now. ...as are African children. But the news is relevant. That is why they used that picture. Do you really think @BBCAfrica would be so blatantly racist? Also that's where they got to know one another. Trip 2 Africa.

        He invited her to accompany him to Botswana. That was after the "Blind date" arranged by the wife of a boyhood friend. It's wonderful for them, a real life 'Cinderella' story & I hope they'll be very happy, but that headline was just "Off."

        Awww man. I wasnt going out of my way. I'm so sick of all the divisiveness. I was only trying to point out that it appears others twisted the intent of the headline. It sucks you're inferring I'm racist because I just don't see BBC as racist as a whole. 😕
