Prince Harry has admitted he didn’t know unconscious bias existed until he ‘walked a day’ in wife Meghan Markle’s shoes.
The Duke of Sussex, 36, spoke about racism in an interview with activist Patrick Hutchinson for GQ magazine and admitted his ‘upbringing and education’ didn’t equip him to understand the issue.
He said: ‘Unconscious bias, from my understanding, having the upbringing and the education that I had, I had no idea what it was. I had no idea it existed. And then, sad as it is to say, it took me many, many years to realise it, especially then living a day or a week in my wife’s shoes.’
Prince Harry reveals the ‘upbringing and education’ that he had meant he had no idea about unconscious bias and that walking a week in Meghan Markle’s shoes helped him understand
