Meghan Markle revealed her wish for her future children to grow up in a more open minded world in a resurfaced 2012 anti-racism video.
In the clip filmed as part of the 'I wont stand for...' campaign, the former actress spoke out about how racism affects her personally as well as how it affects the world.
The Duchess of Sussex said as a biracial woman, most people can't tell where she's from and described that feeling as like being 'a fly on the wall'.
She said she'd once heard someone call her mum the 'n-word' and hoped things would get better.
Meghan, speaking at a time before she married Prince Harry and had baby Archie, said by the time she had children she hoped things would have changed.
She said she's proud of her heritage and that a 'mixed world is what makes it beautiful and interesting'.
In the video, Meghan can be heard saying: "For me it hits a really personal note - I'm biracial, most people can't tell what I'm mixed with and so much of my life has felt like being a fly on the wall.
"And so some of the slurs that I've heard, the really offensive jokes I've heard, or the names, it's just hit me in a really strong way.
"A couple of years ago I heard someone call my mom the n-word, so for me beyond being personally affected by racism just to see the landscape of what our country is like right now, certainly the world, and to want things to be better."
She said leaving LA and beginning to travel exposed her to a 'closed-mindedness'.
Her eyes were opened to a mentality that still exists which she assumed was dated, she admitted.
Meghan continues: "I'm really proud of my heritage on both sides, I'm really proud of where I've come from and where I'm going but I hope that by the time I have children that people are even more open minded to how things are changing and that having a mixed world is what it's all about.
"Certainly it makes it a lot more beautiful and a lot more interesting."
The 'I Won't Stand For' campaign was for the US charity Erase The Hate.
