Oprah asks Meghan about being able to 'fit in'. Meghan Markle is a mixed-race person to marry into the British Royal family. She was also a divorcee and an independent woman. Did that concern her in being able to fit in?

"I thought about it because they made me think about it, right. But I think at the same time now upon reflection, thank God all of those things were true. Thank God I had that life experience. Thank God I had known the value of working."

  1. Meghan is also asked whether there was a "breaking point", and if she was "silent, or silenced"
  2. The interview comes after Harry and Meghan decided to step back as senior members of the Royal Family last year
  3. Harry previously said the decision to step back was in order to protect himself and his family from the British press
