In Meghan: A Hollywood Princess, biographer Andrew Morton talks about the distressing appearance of a “white girls only” clique when Markle was a kid. According to Morton, a group of girls asked Markle if she wanted to join the exclusionary club. Markle has a Black mother and a white father.

Excerpt from People Magazine:

“On one occasion the so-called ‘mean girls’ announced they were starting a ‘White Girls Only’ club and wanted Meghan to join. ‘Are you kidding me?’ said Meghan to the gaggle of her fellow pupils, dismissing them in a sentence. They went very quiet after that.”

Markle (who by the way will NOT become Princess Meghan after her Spring nuptials to Prince Harry) has spoken out before about her racial identity and what she has experienced as a child and an adult.
