Mariah Carey and Meghan, Duchess of Sussex bonded over being biracial and the many "misconceptions" about them. The 'We Belong Together' hitmaker, 53, was the latest guest on the 41-year-old royal's 'Archetypes' podcast - which aired days before the passing on Queen Elizabeth on September 8 - and she has shared how she and the former 'Suits' actress had a lot in common and she "enjoyed" getting Meghan's "take on things".

She told Variety: “I don’t know that I should be an authority on anybody but myself, but to preface my answer — I did not meet the Queen. “I am, however, obsessed with the show ‘The Crown. ’ And the podcast with Meghan, I felt, was an important moment and one that I truly enjoyed — getting her take on things, she’s had her journey and I’ve had mine.

There are some similarities, like being biracial. I tend to dwell on that topic because I just can’t get over it. It’s always a thing, whether I bring it up or someone else does.

I assume that’s why it was interesting for she and I to talk for her podcast. There are so many misconceptions about her and about me — you can’t even realise how many misconceptions. ” The episode was billed as an exploration of the “complexities surrounding the ‘diva’” and the negative connotations associated with the word.
