Did racism play a role in the coverage of Meghan Markle? In 2016 stories about Prince Harry鈥檚 new girlfriend were all over the front pages of the papers. Harry attacked the 鈥榬acial undertones of comment pieces鈥� in the newspapers. 大象传媒 Media Editor Amol Rajan analyses the language used and challenges a journalist over her controversial phrase 鈥渆xotic DNA鈥�.

This five part series ask you to question what you think about Prince Harry and Meghan Markle. Why did the coverage of Meghan Markle turn so sour, so quickly? Why did the story turn from the fairy tale wedding of a Prince and his new type of Princess, to a tale of so-called 鈥榙uelling duchesses鈥�? In this series, you will hear from the people who wrote this very modern drama: the reporters, columnists and broadcasters who shape public opinion on royalty. Allegations of sexism, racism and strategic leaks 鈥� we examine them all.
