CNN —Meghan, the wife of the UK’s Prince Harry, has hit out at the British media following reports that she sent a letter to her father-in-law, now King Charles, expressing concern over “unconscious bias” within the royal family. According to British media reports, the Duchess of Sussex expressed concern to her father-in-law in the letter about “unconscious bias” inside the royal family. “I said the difference here is the race element,” Harry had said, also slamming racist undertones in tabloid coverage of Meghan, who is biracial. “The thing with unconscious bias – it is actually no one’s fault.

CNN —Prince Harry said it was “terrifying” to have his brother, Prince William, scream at him during his bitter split from the royal family, in the final installments of the Duke and Duchess of Sussex’s controversial Netflix documentary that were released Thursday.

☆ Meghan says she was 'fed to the wolves' in new Netflix trailer

CNN —Meghan, Duchess of Sussex has said she was “fed to the wolves,” and Prince Harry discusses “institutional gaslighting” in a new trailer for part two of their highly-anticipated Netflix docuseries, which airs on Thursday. Everyone in the world knew where we were,” Meghan says. Similar to the format of the first three episodes, the trailer provides an intimate glimpse into the couple’s lives, with personal footage and pictures interspersed with media coverage. Tyler Perry, the filmmaker who offered his California house to the couple after they left their lives in the UK, also makes an appearance in the trailer. Buckingham Palace said it would not be commenting on the docuseries when the first part released last Thursday.

At the start of their new, much-anticipated Netflix docuseries “Harry & Meghan,” the Duchess of Sussex — the woman formerly known as Meghan Markle — is asked what her motivations are for creating the documentary. The Oprah interview won Harry and Meghan a swell of support, but also prompted some audience anger. The royal family today must constantly justify its existence in the modern world. This is understandable: They’ve been out of the royal family for almost double the amount of time that Meghan spent within it. Harry and Meghan still have the potential to be a unique hybrid of unofficial statespeople, philanthropic ambassadors and celebrities with a near-celestial kind of star power.

The first three episodes of the project, titled “Harry & Meghan,” were released on Thursday after months of speculation that the couple would star in a tell-all series. And Harry accuses the royal family of “unconscious bias” that blinded them to the struggles he and Meghan experienced in the years and months leading up to their dramatic departure. The couple have spoken before about the constraints placed on them while members of the royal family, and that frustration re-emerged repeatedly in the documentary. Harry also compared Meghan to his mother, Princess Diana, who died in a car crash while being chased by paparazzi in 1997.

On Tuesday, Oct. 25, the former actor tackled the stereotype’s concept, history and impact with actor Issa Rae and television host and comedian Ziwe. Meghan recalled how the book’s author typed “why are Black women so...” on a search engine, resulting in options like, “Why are Black women so loud?”; “Why are Black women so mean?”; and “Why are Black women so angry?”“Those were the seeds being planted,” Meghan noted at the start of the podcast. Yet, this trope of the angry Black woman, it persists.”Meghan went on to share her own experience in encountering the stereotype during her days as an actress. “It was this ruthless Black woman or this uncouth Black woman,” Rae noted. For all three women, unpacking the angry Black woman stereotype has meant understanding how it has impacted them in their everyday lives.
