Prince Harry’s fiancee declared that the press’s early focus on her mixed race background was “disheartening” Monday, according to the Associated Press.
Meghan Markle, an actress of African American and Caucasian descent, struggled with how the press focused on her mixed-race background in the beginning stages of her and the prince’s relationship, the Associated Press reported.
“Of course it’s disheartening” Markle said about the press’ interest in her racial heritage. Various media outlets have played up Markle’s background, either by highlighting her ethnic background in their headlines or focusing on how her race breaks down barriers.
