Meghan Markle admits she was only called 'black' after Prince Harry romance

Meghan Markle is shedding light on her romance with Prince Harry and how it defined her race.

Speaking to Mariah Carey in podcast Archetypes, the Duchess of Sussex shared that she was first referred to as a 'black woman' when she began dating her now husband. 

"I mean, if there's any time in my life that it's been more focused on my race, it's only once I started dating my husband. Then I started to understand what it was like to be treated like a Black woman," Meghan said, referencing her relationship with Prince Harry. "Because up until then, I had been treated like a mixed woman. And things really shifted."

Mariah, too, shared her story with the Duchess, adding how she always struggled to fit in.

"I didn't fit in. I didn't fit in. You know, it would be more of the Black area of town or then you could be where my mom chose to live, were the more, the white neighborhoods. And I didn't fit in anywhere at all," she began.
