Prince Harry and
Meghan Markle left the U.K. in "large part" because of
racism, the
Duke of Sussex told
Oprah Winfrey in a new clip from Sunday's jaw-dropping interview.
Winfrey on Monday shared more clips from her conversation with Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, in which the couple opened up about their decision to step back as senior members of the
Royal Family last year. During a portion of the interview that didn't air on Sunday, Winfrey asked Harry if he and the
Duchess of Sussex left the U.K. because of racism, and he acknowledged this played a major role.
"It was a large part of it," Harry said.
Harry went on to share an anecdote about being warned by someone he spoke with at a fundraiser that the media "will destroy your life" and that "the U.K. is very bigoted." Harry said he "completely" disagreed with the notion that the U.K. as a whole is bigoted, while agreeing that "the U.K. press is bigoted, specifically the tabloids."
But Harry added, "Unfortunately, if the source of information is inherently corrupt or racist or biased, then that filters out to the rest of society."
One of the biggest bombshells in Sunday's interview came when Meghan Markle revealed there were "concerns and conversations" in the royal family about "how dark [Archie's] skin might be when he was born." Meghan wouldn't reveal who raised these concerns, saying it would be "very damaging to them." But on CBS This Morning, Winfrey said Harry "wanted to make sure that I knew" that
Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Philip weren't a part of these conversations.
