Meghan Markle delved into the first time she was treated like a Black woman on the second episode of her hit Spotify and Archewell Audio series, Archetypes.

The Duchess of Sussex spoke about being biracial with her guest, singer Mariah Carey , who is also biracial.

I had read this article about Halle Berry, and they were asking her how she felt being treated as a mixed-race woman in the world, Meghan said in the newest episode, which was released on Tuesday.

Her response was her saying, Well, your experience through the world is how people view you. So she said because she was darker in color, she was being treated as a Black woman not as a mixed woman.

She went on to describe herself as feeling as though she didnt definitively fit in enough as neither Black nor white when it came to the worlds view of her.

I think for us, its very different because were light-skinned, the duchess added. Youre not treated as a Black woman youre not treated as a white woman. You sort of fit in between.

But there was a defining moment in Meghans life when things really shifted for her, and how she was viewed.
