Oprah Winfrey, who is conducting this interview asked Meghan Markle about baby Archie, who was not made a prince at his birth.
She says she found the news "really hard" - not because she wanted the title but because it meant Archie wouldn't receive security.
"All the grandeur surrounding this stuff is an attachment I don't personally have, right."
"The most important title I will ever have is 'mom'. But the idea of our son not being safe and also the idea of the first member of colour in this family not being titled in the same way that other grandchildren would be..."
Meghan Markle said to Oprah that the convention - meaning her children would be prince or princess - was changed while she was pregnant.
"It's not their right to take it away... While I was pregnant they said they want to change the convention for Archie. Well, why?"
She says the news reports suggesting the lack of title was her and Harry's decision were wrong.

It is not right that a few months into a relationship with him that Markle should be subjected to such a storm. He knows commentators will say this is ‘the price she has to pay’ and that ‘this is all part of the game’. He strongly disagrees. This is not a game – it is her life and his.”
