Netflix's explosive documentary about Prince Harry and Meghan Markle isn't just a shot at the royal family on racism - it also reveals her perspective, as she says, people didn't treat me like a "black woman" before moving. England.

In Episode 2 of "Harry & Meghan"... she says she never thought race would play such a big role in her marriage to Harry -- because growing up in L.A. as a mixed-race woman, being different hadn't been a problem for her.

Meghan says: "Now people are very aware of my race because they have made it such an issue in the UK."

She added that before that, "most people didn't treat me like a black woman," and as a result, she and her parents had never "talked about" racism in America...like the do most black parents.

On a much more serious note, Harry talks about his infamous costume - he dressed up as a Nazi for a party in 2005 - and calls it "the biggest mistake of my life".
