The second episode of the Duchess of Sussex’s Archetypes podcast has been released on Spotify. In it Meghan Markle tells Mariah Carey she was "only treated like a black woman" when she started dating Prince Harry.

Meghan says: “I mean if there’s any time in my life that it’s been more focused on my race, it’s only once I started dating my husband. “Then I started to understand what it was like to be treated like a black woman, because up until then I had been treated like a mixed woman and things really shifted.” Carey replies: “But that’s an interesting thing, a mixed woman, because I always thought it should be OK to say I’m mixed, like it should be OK to say that, but people want you to choose.” Titled The Duality Of Diva, in the wide-ranging interview Meghan talks with the pop superstar about the “complexities surrounding the ‘diva'” and the negative connotations associated with the word.

At one stage Carey declares that Meghan has “diva moments sometimes”. Meghan says: “That’s really important for people to remember that there might be this persona, this diva thing we can play into.

It’s not something I connect to but for you, it’s been a huge part.” Carey replies: “You give us diva moments sometimes Meghan.
