Harry explained that there "were lots of different reasons," why William and Kate may not have liked Meghan. He continued: "I don’t think they were ever expecting me to get – or to become – to get into a relationship with – with someone like Meghan who had, a very successful career. There was a lot of stereotyping that was happening, that I was guilty of as well, at the beginning.

"So you know, the fact that I had that in the back of my mind, and some of the things that my brother and sister-in-law – some of the way that they were acting or behaving definitely felt to me as though unfortunately that stereotyping was causing a bit of a barrier to them really sort of, you know, introducing or welcoming her in."

Clarifying his words, he added: "Well, American actress, divorced, biracial, there's – there's all different parts to that and what that can mean but if you are, like a lot of my family do, if you are reading the press, the British tabloids, at the same time as living the life, then there is a tendency where you could actually end up living in the tabloid bubble rather than the actual reality."

Ahead of the comments, Harry jested that the Prince of Princess of Wales were fans of the sitcom Suits, which Meghan Markle starred in ahead of meeting her husband.
