On Monday morning, Kensington Palace announced that the Royal and the Suits actress will marry in the spring of 2018. To say that the Twitter timeline was lit would be an understatement.

From general excitement over the news to plans on how we’d collectively attend the wedding (should our invites not get lost in the mail), there was no stopping the Black Twitter celebrations.

We got us a Black princess ya'll. You really can't tell me a damn thing for the rest of the day because it won't matter. Shout out to Prince Harry and Meghan Markle. Their wedding will be my Super Bowl. pic.twitter.com/WmBnGm5AuZ

Meghan does pass and there are conversations we can have about that, but the reality is she is biological a Black woman who was raised by a Black woman. No one can take that away from her. So Imma celebrate. pic.twitter.com/Vik0QaSP3P

Prince Harry's future mother-in-law is a black woman with dreadlocks. There are no words for this kind of joy.
