Meghan Markle just gave a new interview in which she revealed that when she moved back to the United States in April, she immediately felt the racial and political unrest.

On Friday, Meghan talked to the co-founder and CEO of The 19th*, Emily Ramshaw, about the effects of the deaths of George Floyd, Ahmaud Arbery, and Breonna Taylor.

“To come back and to just see this state of affairs, I think at the onset, if I’m being honest, it was just devastating,” she said. “It was so sad to see where our country was in that moment.”

“If there’s any silver lining in that, I would say that in the weeks after the murder of George Floyd, in the peaceful protests that you were seeing, in the voices that were coming out, in the way that people were actually owning their role… it shifted from sadness to a feeling of absolute inspiration, because I can see that the tide is turning,” Meghan said.

Meghan went on to say that she is excited to lend her voice to the causes that matter most to her, including voting, fair journalism, and uplifting and educating women and people of color.

“From my standpoint, it’s not new to see this undercurrent of racism and certainly unconscious bias, but I think to see the changes that are being made right now is really — it’s something I look forward to being a part of,” Markle said. “And being part of using my voice in a way that I haven’t been able to of late. So, yeah, it’s good to be home.”

This comes after it was announced that Meghan and her husband Prince Harry had bought a home in Santa Barbara, California last month.

“The Duke and Duchess of Sussex moved into their family home in July of this year,” a spokesperson said. “They have settled into the quiet privacy of their community since their arrival and hope that this will be respected for their neighbors, as well as them as a family.”

Earlier this year, Meghan and Harry shocked the world when they stepped down as senior members of the British royal family. They then briefly moved to Canada before relocating to Meghan’s home state of California.
