What does Meghan Markle's explosive interview say about how the Royal Family and British press treats women of color?

It was hyped, promoted and delivered a ratings bonanza for CBS. Oprah Winfrey’s exclusive, no-holds barred interview with Meghan Markle and Prince Harry, left many aghast by her revelations of mistreatment, constant abuse in the media and even Meghan's experience of racism when it came to the status, security and skin color of her then unborn son.

Even the day after, Oprah, praised for her masterful interviewing skills, is still revealing excerpts that shine a brighter light on the situation.

The Duchess of Sussex claimed the press team that would defend the royal family "when they know something's not true" failed to come to their defense.

Winfrey asked Prince Harry if he hoped his family would ever acknowledge that the differences in treatment were over race.

"It would make a huge difference," he said. "Like I said, there's a lot of people that have seen it for what it was… like it's talked about across the world."

The people who do not want to see it, Harry claimed, "choose not to see it." March 08 – CBS News
