In a 🌍, an industry, where representation matters, today your girl will make history as the first woman of colour to EVER have her play on the main stage of @the_globe AND be in it! Why is this important? Because one of the last people to do this, was...Mr William Shakespeare – at Camberwell, London

Princess or not, really, does it matter? When anyone can be a Queen, but a real Queen wears the crown, she doesn’t let the crown wear her. 👑 Wishing the Company of #PrincessEssex luck ahead of their final performance today 🎉 📸 Helen Murray
