London (CNN Business) When British newspapers first broke the news of Prince Harry's relationship with Meghan, the Duchess of Sussex, one Mail Online headline declared that she was " (almost) straight outta Compton." Around the same time, The Daily Star ran a headline asking whether Harry would "marry into gangster royalty?"

The first round of headlines back in 2016 played on harmful stereotypes and helped set the tone for how parts of the UK media, and especially its tabloid newspapers, would treat this newcomer to the royal family who stood out in one very obvious way: her race.

Over time, race would become a major factor in the relationship between Meghan and the tabloids, which devote huge resources to coverage of the royals and often deliver fawning reportage of the House of Windsor. Meghan and Harry have sued several papers, and singled out the tabloids for waging a "ruthless campaign" against them.

On Sunday, in a bombshell interview with Oprah Winfrey, the Duke of Sussex said that there had been no support from the royal family in the face of racist treatment of Meghan by the British press. "No one from my family said anything over those three years," Harry said. The coverage "was bringing out a part of people that was racist," Meghan added.

This is not the first time that the UK media has been accused of fueling prejudice. A 2016 report by the European Commission against Racism and Intolerance found that hate speech among traditional media, particularly tabloid newspapers, "continues to be a serious problem."
