Last winter, Henry Roper-Curzon, a member of the British Royal Family got engaged to Hanna Jaff, a Latina celebrity that you probably know.

Hanna Jaff is the daughter of Kurdish businessman Dawood Jaff. Her family is direct descendants of past Kurdish king Mohamed Pasha Jaff. She graduated with a degree in psychology specializing in criminal justice and political science. On top of that, she also has a Master's degree in Arts from Harvard.


Made for Each Other

Jaff is of both Kurdish and Mexican descent, and, in an interview with Rudaw, Hanna said Henry has a large "respect for Kurdistan and for the Kurdish people."

"He always says the Kurdish people are warriors," she added, explaining that Henry wanted to visit her homeland, to the point that he said he wanted to have Kurdish music and food for their wedding.

Almost like a staple holiday fairytale film, Hanna and Henry met when a familiar friend set them up together on a date last year.

Apparently, Henry's type is Latin women! The first woman, their familiar friend, thought of off the bat was Hanna. They met at an art exhibit, and the chemistry was instantly magnetic. Four months later, Henry proposed while they were on a lovely trip to the Swiss Alps.

Made in Mexico

Hanna explained that she was never cast for the role in the Netflix series Made in Mexico, which she said was intended to change stereotypes that Mexicans had on Americans. She added, "The whole point of Made In Mexico is to show another side of Mexico."

Apart from being a star, she has also done a lot of volunteering. Growing up around humanitarians, Hanna has taken from her parents the initiative for philanthropism.

Her father, a Kurdish Muslim, would bring her to the Middle East, and she would witness injured women and children who had insufficient resources.

"When I think of immigrants, I think of my mom, and when I think of refugees, I think of my father," Hanna said. "And so, I started my NGO."

Hanna is also the founder of the Jaff Foundation for Education. Through her foundation, immigrants, refugees, and the less fortunate have been taught English in educational campaigns.

In an interview with Forbes magazine, Hanna shared that she started writing self-taught English books to help immigrants and refugees adapt to any place in the world.

"People would say, 'thanks to your book, I could move around,'" she said. Hannah has so far authored three English-learning books. She continued, "I wanted to give them books because there was so much waiting time. I got really good results."

Hannah also became an undersecretary of immigrants and a candidate Congresswoman. "When I was in politics, I did go through some very tough times," she shared. "I had to pass through them and stay true to myself and my values."
