The newest episode of Meghan Markle's Spotify podcast released on Tuesday. She said that she had read an article on a renowned actress Halle Berry and therein Berry was asked about her thoughts on being treated as someone from mixed-race.


Meghan Markle had replied that the experience depends on how people treat and regard you. She claimed that because of her darker skin tone, she was treated as a Black person and not like a mixed person.

Meghan Markle continued by saying that she felt as though the world did not see her as clearly fitting in because she was neither Black nor White.

The duchess continued that she believed for them, it's really different since they are light-skinned. They are not treated like a Black woman or a white woman. They sort of fall between the two.



But Meghan Markle's life had a turning point when "things truly transformed" for her and how people perceived her.

Meghan Markle said that the only time the attention on her has been more on my race in her life is since she began dating her Prince Harry, her husband. Then, the former "Suits" actor remarked that she began to comprehend what it felt like to be considered to a Black lady. Because she had been regarded like a mixed woman up to that point. And a lot of things changed.

Meghan Markle has discussed how racism affected her personally from an early age and what it was like having a white father and a Black mother.

The racist and sexist press that Meghan Markle has encountered since she started dating Prince Harry has frequently been denounced by the Duke and Duchess of Sussex.
The couple also admitted, in a detailed interview that they had with Oprah Winfrey conducted last year, that the royal family had racist concerns regarding Archie's skin tone prior to his birth.
