Harry said that the Prince and Princess of Wales had never expected him to begin a relationship 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, in the beginning," he said.

"American actress, right, and that was playing out in the British press in the media at the time as well. 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."
