Black and white twin sisters Marcia and Millie Biggs are off to school.
Bounding through the school gate hand-in-hand, four-year-old twins Marcia and Millie Biggs see nothing special about their kindergarten debut.
The rest of the world disagrees. With their matching bags and uniforms, this cute duo are million-to-one miracles – one born black, and the other white.
Marcia has her mother Amanda’s fair skin and golden hair, while Millie has tight black curls and the darker complexion of their Jamaican-born father, Michael. “People still just can’t believe they’re related, let alone sisters,” says Amanda, 42.
While the dramatic difference was a shock to their parents when the girls were born just minutes apart in July 2006, “everybody is amazed by how beautiful they have both become”, their mum says.
“Even teachers at nursery refused to believe they were sisters. A couple of the staff could see they were related, but some just wouldn’t have it. I’m now used to that after four years.”
