Love Or Hate?
Ah, the royal family... Love them or loathe them, you’re guaranteed to see them pop up in the news. Whether it’s the announcement of a marriage, divorce, or death, for decades people worldwide have been hooked on the juicy drama and secrets of the royals.
But ever since Will and Kate, royal marriages haven’t seemed to be a walk in the park for some royals. But thankfully, there’s a certain American dark-headed beauty that’s about to marry into this family. And no, it’s not Meghan Markle.
Messy Marriage
Back in the 80s and 90s, Prince Charles and Princess Diana's marriage was the talk of the town. Tabloids and media worldwide ravished in their messy marriage.
After calling it quits both Charles and Diana went their separate ways. But years later, a secret would be uncovered. And it shattered the royal family forever.
Leaked Phone Call
In January 1993 a transcript of a suggestive, secretly-recorded phone conversation from 1989 between Charles and Camilla Parker Bowles leaked from the press. It showed that Charles and Camilla had had an affair.
As soon as the newspaper hit the stands, thousands of people picked up a copy, clutching it tight to their chests. This was a scandal that completely rocked the Royal Family and nothing was ever the same again.
Moving Forward
After the tragic death of Diana, Charles carried on his relationship with Camilla Parker Bowles. Although their relationship has been scrutinized by the media, they’re still going strong.
So when Charle’s son Prince William announced he would be marrying Kate Middleton back in 2010, Britons were overjoyed! Maybe, just finally, the royal family will have a marriage that doesn’t end in tears. How wrong they were to think that.
The Only Good Relationship
Let’s be honest Kate and Will’s relationship is what dreams are made off, right? Since their wedding in 2011, the two lovebirds have shown everybody what true love looks like. Oh, and they’ve also welcomed three incredibly adorable children into the world!
But for Will’s brother Harry, he didn’t exactly have a fantastic track record in relationships. That is until he met a certain Hollywood beauty.
Doubt
When former-party-boy Prince Harry announced he would be getting married to American actress Meghan Markle in 2017 it made front-page news.
People worldwide were conflicted. Some loved the couple, others gave their disapproval. Either way, the couple seemed happy, and when the wedding day came it seems people had really warmed to the Hollywood bombshell. But then came January 2020.
Controversial
In early January, Harry and Meghan announced they would be stepping down as senior members of the royal family. The announcement caused a wave in the tabloids and many claimed Meghan was “corrupting’ the red-headed prince.
With this messy family conflict taking place, many people wondered if the royals would ever allow an outsider to join the family again. After all, it never seemed to work. But little did they know another American beauty was about to come crashing into their lives. And this one was here to stay.
A New Royal
Here’s the latest soon-to-be-addition to the Royal Family; Hanna Jeff. Born in San Diego California, the self-proclaimed Mexican-American is of Kurdish-Mexican descent.
However, unlike her fellow American Meghan Markle, Hanna actually does have a bit of royal blood in her. And people were alarmed when they found out who!
Royal Blood
Who’d have thought royal blood rushes through the beauty that is Hanna? Paternally, she’s a descendant of Mohamed Pasha Jaff; renowned as one of the great Kurdish kings and supreme leaders of the Jaff tribe. But her royal ancestry doesn’t stop there.
She’s a descendant of the owners of the North Bank of Iraq; the largest multi-million private bank in the country, and she’s also related to Carlos Henry Bosdet, the first person to ever install a telephone in Mexico! But this soon-to-be-royal isn’t just a pretty face, she’s got quite a few feats under her belt.
Hardworking And Motivated
Hanna has achieved some pretty incredible things in her life. She’s dabbled in Mexican politics, held an impressive writing and public speaking career, and is part of numerous charitable organizations. So it comes to no surprise that her career has made her quite a big name in Mexico.
In 2019 she was named one of Forbes‘ “100 Most Powerful Women in Mexico” alongside Salma Hayek, and the Hanna herself was included in the “10 most admired women in Mexico” by Cosmopolitan! But things are soon about to change for Hannah. In just a matter of months, this American beauty will become a British royal.
Harry Who?
You see, in January 2020 Hannah announced she was engaged to a red-headed royal. Bursting with excitement she posted the news to Instagram. The red-headed royal in question is renowned for his cheeky smile and sometimes outlandish behavior.
Yes, you’re correct - Hanna is set to marry and spend the rest of her life with Harry. But it’s not the Harry you’re thinking of!
Summer Romance
Hanna is actually engaged to Henry “Harry” Roper-Curzon, an heir to the baronage of Teynham and a relation of the Windsor princes!
Their love story started back in July 2019 when summer was in full spring. Harry was shown a picture of Hannah by a mutual friend and called her the most beautiful girl he had ever seen. The royal so desperately wanted to meet her but unfortunately, Hanna was still Mexico. It would be several months until the two lovebirds confirmed their romance.
Down On One Knee
After meeting at an art exhibition in England, straight away both Hanna and Harry felt sparks burst from their bodies. Their connection was undeniable! After making their relationship official, the two spent Christmas together in both Mexico and San Diego.
Then, at the start of 2020, Harry decided to ‘put a ring on it’ and popped the question all women long to be asked. Obviously, Hanna said yes, and the two were busting with excitement. But little did the two lovebirds realize everything was about to get turned upside down.
A Spanner In The Works
You see the happy couple had wanted to tie the knot in July 2020, but with COVID-19 taking full force, they knew they had to postpone the wedding.
But it wasn’t the end of the world, there were bigger things happening in the world. And their love for each other wasn’t going anywhere, right? Unfortunately, the pandemic not only ruined their wedding plans, but it also tested their relationship. To extreme measures.
No Matter What
With COVID-19 taking the world by storm, this happy couple was forced to isolate separately. But not a few streets down, or a city away. In fact, they were an ocean apart!
Nonetheless, Hannah has insisted that she and Harry are stronger and closer than ever. It can be testing at times, but if the love is there it and conquers anything. Even a worldwide pandemic!
