Prince Harry Admits in '60 Minutes' Interview He Was 'Probably Bigoted' Before Relationship With Meghan Markle
Prince Harry made another revelation in his CBS News' "60 Minutes," wherein he admitted that he was "probably bigoted" before he met his now wife Meghan Markle.
The full 60 minutes interview is scheduled to be aired on Sunday. One clip of the interview showed Harry saying that he was "incredibly naïve" about how his relationship with Markle would be treated by British tabloids.
Harry said that what his wife had to go through was the same in some part as what Kate Middleton and Camilla did, although in "very different circumstances."
The Duke of Sussex went on to say that when the race element is incorporated, the "British press jumped on straight away."
He then noted that he had no idea that the "British press were so bigoted," before saying that he was probably bigoted before his relationship with Markle.

"60 Minutes" host Anderson Cooper then prompted if the duke thinks he was bigoted before he met his wife.
Harry then explained that he was not seeing what he now sees.
He also noted in the same clip that there were "briefings and planting" of stories against him and his wife despite his efforts to keep the personal family dealings out of the public eye.
Harry's interview is a prelude to his upcoming memoir "Spare."
Prince Harry '60 Minutes' Interview Claims
Harry noted in his memoir that Camilla allegedly converted his bedroom at Clarence House in London into her own personal dressing room after he moved out.
The 38-year-old royal said in the memoir that he tried "not to care," but when he saw it for the first time, he cared.
Tina Brown's "The Palace Papers," wrote the same incident, but she referred to Harry's old bedroom at King Charles' country home, Highgrove House.
He also revealed in his memoir that he and Prince William both tried to dissuade their father from marrying Camilla.
Camilla was reported to be having a relationship with the king while he was married to Princess Diana, who is the mother of Harry and William.
Harry wrote that his brother had been suspicious of the "Other Woman" for a long time, which caused confusion.
Meanwhile, Buckingham Palace noted that it will not be commenting on Harry's accusations in his book.
Allegations Against Prince William
The Duke of Sussex also claimed that William grabbed him by the collar and ripped his necklace before knocking him to the floor. Harry said that it left a visible injury on his back.
The alleged fight occurred in Harry's London home. William was said to have arrived on the grounds already "piping hot."
Harry said that William urged him to hit back, but he refused. The Prince of Wales then apologized shortly afterward.
The duke did not immediately tell his wife about the incident but noticed "scrapes and bruises" on his back.
Aside from Harry's memoir, the palace also refused to comment on earlier claims of Harry and Markle in their Netflix docuseries.
