Messages. First the nightline 5. Eng. Thanks. Prince harry and wife duchess meghan getting candid documentary revealing unprecedented access into their private lives. And the strain of being in the public eye. When i first met my now husband, my friends were really happy because i was so happy. But my british friends said to me, im sure hes great, but you shouldnt do it because the british tabloids will destroy your life. Of course theres a lot of stuff that hurts. Especially when the majority of it is untrue. Ill not be bullied into playing a game that killed my mom. Reporter prince harry and duchess meghan sharing raw moments with Itvs Tom Bradby about the extreme pressures of life in the glaring spotlight, where every move is photographed and scrutinized. Any woman, especially when theyre pregnant, youre really vulnerable. And so that was made really challenging. And then when you have a newborn you know its a long time ago but i remember. Especially as a woman, its really its a lot. Reporter quiet confessions all part of a new documentary call following the royal family on their recent journey to africa, providing an unprecedented glimpse into their hopes and their fears. Would it be fair to say, not really okay, its really been a struggle . Yes. For meghan it was a chance for her to really share what was on her mind. Its a chance to say how difficult its been since the beginning. Now the question is how are they going to overcome this . Reporter their travels to africa a family affair. Ten days with 5monthold archie. Its really inspiring for us to be and a family on a trip like this, to bring our baby. He was looking out the window, hes found his voice now, hes bouncing up and down, making noise. Reporter british itn cameras granted special access to the new parents. The littlest royal making his debut in capetown as hes introduced to one of south africas most revered Archbishop Desmond tutu. On harrys itinerary, angola, where 22 years mefie to civil war. Its quite emotional for me. I think as much as she did then, theres still so much to do. Reporter Princess Diana never saw the difference her work made here. She died seven months later in a car crash after being chased by paparazzi, a loss harry laid bare in the documentary. Do you feel at peace in a way yet . Or is it still a sort of wound that festers . I think probably a wound that festers. I think being part of this family, in this role, in this job every single time i see a camera, every single time i hear a click, every single time i see a flash, it takes me straight back. Everything she went through and what happened to her is incredibly raw every single day. Thats not being paranoid, thats me not wanting a repeat of the past. Reporter in a candid moment addressing rumored strains with his brother, prince william. Were certainly on different paths at the moment but ill always be there for him, i know hell always be there for me. We dont see each other as much as we used to because were so busy. But i love him dearly, and the majority of the stuff is well, the majority of stuff is created out of nothing. Reporter all this followed a summer of tough press for the couple. Prince harry defending the way his family travels. Harry facing Harsh Criticism for traveling in private jets. Reporter dozens of negative headlines graced covers from the use of private planes to the duchess request for anonymity at a wimbledon match. This summer was probably their boston when it came to their relationship with the british tabloids. A number of negative and false stories written about them, particularly about their private lives at frogmore cottage. For the two of them, africa the chance to show the world about theyre about. Reporter as the africa tour neared its end, tensions began to flare visibly. On the final day, a bitter legal battle began. The duchess of sussex filing a lawsuit against the mail on sunday, and its parent company, on a privacy claim. Her lawyers accusing them of being on a campaign to publish false and deliberately derogatory stories. Shortly after the couple returned to the uk, prince harry sued the owners of both the sun and the mirror alleging the illegal interception of voice mail messages. You continue and constantly see and hear negativity, it can be overwhelming. You can feel powerless and lost. You can feel different, confused, or like you dont belong. Reporter the mail sunday stated they stand by the story as published and will be defending its case vigorously. The sun and the mirror have not responded to the allegations in their lawsuits. Have the british tabloids overstepped the mark . Yes, on occasion, and certainly i think where meghan and harry are busy suing the press, they could absolutely win those court cases. Will they win the court of Public Opinion . To win the court of Public Opinion, which the royals need to survive, you need the press. Reporter the Relentless Media interest in the couple began not long after the two met in the summer of 2016. British tabloids descended on them with racially charged headlines. Its a shame that that is the climate in this world, to focus that much on that, or to be discriminatory in that sense. I think at the end of the day, im really just proud of who i am and where i come from, and we have never put any focus on that. Weve just focused on who we are as a couple. Reporter at first their coping strategy, according to the duchess, was to ignore the headlines. I think we were just hit so hard at the beginning with a lot of mistruths that i made the choice to not read anything, positive or negative. Instead we focused all our energies on nurturing our relationship. On us, yeah. On us. Reporter nearly two years later, meghan sharing in the documentary the stakes seem higher than ever. Can you put up with this . And what happens if you cant . You know, ive said for a long time to h. Sorry. Its okay. Its not enough to just survive something, right . Like thats not the point of life. Youve got to thrive. Youve got to feel happy. And i think i really try to adopt this british sensibility of a stiff upper lip. It has its you know, it has its detractors, i guess. Ive tried, but i think that what that does internally is probably really damaging. And the biggest thing that i know is that i never thought that this would be easy, but i thought it would be fair. And thats the part thats really hard to reconcile. I dont know, just take each day as it comes. For more, be sure to tune in to harry and meghan an african journey wednesday evening, 10 9 central, right here on abc. Up next, from walking a path of hate to walking away.

The rise of White Supremacy in america fueling some of the most horrific acts of violence in the country. Now one former member who longed to belong and found herself in the throes of a hate group coming out on the other side and speaking out in her First Television interview. Heres my nightline coanchor byron pitts. When youre in there, you think that you just know the truth. White people are more intellectually capable than other people. Reporter they are the words of a repentant racist. I start to use the phrasing and the language that there is an overwhelming majority of jewish people in media and thinking, you know you start to ask yourself, are jewish people white . Reporter a young woman once consumed by hate. In that time did you think you were racist . I didnt. Looking back did you think you were . Yes. I never thought of myself as a racist person, but i was. Reporter samantha spent about a year of her life embroiled in a White Supremacist Hate Group called identity europa. In the summer of 2017, identity europa united with other groups in a White Supremacist Movement and descended upon charlottesville, virginia. Jews will not replace us reporter it was a weekend filled with hate. One that would result in the death of a young woman, heather heyer, after Rallygoer James Alex fields jr. Deliberately drove his car into a group of counter protesters. Fields was sentenced to life in prison on federal hate crime charges. Up until the unite the right rally, there was no explicitly connected death to the altright. And everything changed that day. Reporter she realized it was time to get out. By the time i had left, there was the promotion of an ethnostate, the promotion of peaceful ethnic cleansing. Theres nothing not hateful about that. Rep sanomg forward to warn others about the prevalence of hate and the means by which these groups bring others into their fold. People need to understand that its not the kid in wyoming who grew up with gas station beer and a toothless father who becomes this. Rgeon, it yr doctor, tyo reporter her story is included in the new book antisocial online extremists, technoutopi technoutopians, and the hijacking of the american conversation. I had talked to a lot of people in the altright at that point. She was one of the few people who was not in propaganda mode when she talked to me. So i felt like, rather than getting spin or what the movement wanted me to hear, i was just getting an actual humans story. Reporter samantha says while in the group she attended a few White Supremacy events, like this one in the spring of 2017 held in d. C. Young people are not reporter there she is among the crowd listening to the words of altright founder richard spencer. Smntds that says it was rare for tinlved. There wass at let like a woman at every party that i had gone to, other than me, but it was like a handful. They went to Great Lengths to make her feel important, because she was important, because they needed someone to be the female face of their very active in the groups online chat rooms. Did you ever post hateful messages . Probably. I dont specifically recall, but i probably did. Sounds to me like when a politician is asked, did you ever pose in blackface . Either you did or didnt. I dont know. I say that in the sense that i havent looked back, but i probably did. Reporter but her participation grew darker. I remember i was at a party. In walks one of the leaders of the movement. He said, seig pretty much everyone raised their hand and said, heil. Including you . Eventually, yeah. It happened one or two times. By the third time, i did it. I knew that it wasnt it was not a good look, but i did it. Everyone else was doing it. Reporter that kind of thinking, putting aside ones morals to follow in the at got samantha involved with White Supremacy in the first place, she so badly wanted to feel like she belonged. I came to the realization instead of accepting im a generally mediocre person, those groups make you feel like you are excellent, you are it, just for existing, for doing absolutely nothing. Youre making it sound like, if youre a member of one of these groups, the qualifications are, be white and be a loser. I cant argue that. Its easier to get sucked in if youre lonely, if you dont have a strong sense of self. I think they got to her at a time in her life when she was just really battered around, didnt really know who she was. Reporter she was a girl who grew up in the suburbs of new jersey, middle class as she describes it. A nice disguise for family demons. My brother and i were trying to raise ourselves. In the middle of high school, i moved to florida. I just felt like a total and complete alien. How do we get from there to where you went next in your life . I met someone in 2014 that i immediately fell in love with them. And that was that. It was game over. Reporter but samantha says one day, that all changed. When he changed. Hed become a degenerate. He started saying phrases like, he couldnt defend me on the day of the rope. Day of the rope . What is that . Day of the rope is whoo. The day of the rope is the day as written in the turner diaries where white people, as a race, take people that they have deemed degenerates, unworthy, people of color, people with disabilities, people that are gay or whatever, whatever is deemed unpure, unfit for the white race, and they drag them out of their houses and they hang them by lamp posts. The turner diaries sounds like a hymnal for adolf hitler. Yeah. I mean, it was found in Timothy Mcveighs car after the oklahoma bombings. Where do you go from there . I confronted him and just asked him like, what is all of this stuff . And he looked me dead in the eye and just said, i think im a fascist, and i dont want to be with anyone who cant support that. And then i packed up whatever i had with me and left. And i was crying. By the time i got to my house i was like, i need to understand it, though, like where did this come from . Reporter she says she spent the next five days scouring the internet for information in an effort to convince herself that her boyfriend wasnt racist. A few days later she calls him. And i tell him, ill try and understand this with you. And so i start consuming more media. Were all these videos violent . No. I mean, a lot of it was, heres a baking show with this woman who is dressed like a traditional woman on a prairie. Shes really smart, but she didnt know enough to know the things that were talking points and the things that were propaganda and how to push back against them with reality. Reporter soon after she joined that group, identity europa. Soon after i joined i thought it was prowhite, i didnt think about what it really was. It really is what . A hate group. Its absolutely a hate group. In your words you were prowhite. Did that mean you thought less of people who look like me . No, i didnt think i did. Either youre pregnant or youre not, right . Thats something ive struggled to come to terms with, but i didnt think i was doing reanded theelves as the American Identity Movement that according to the antidefamation league. A lot of these groups, they constantly have to rebrand. Because they have such a terrible actual belief system, that once people find out what the belief system is, they have to keep shifting. But the core of it is the same. Reporter on its website it describes itself as an organization that displays defiance against Mass Immigration and globalism, prohibit the advocacy or participation in supremacy, violence, or illegal activity. They say allegations to the contrary originate from leftwing individuals and organizations. As for samantha, today she lives with both fear and regret. Fear of those she followed. Regret for those such hate can harm. I learned from this, and i really hope i can help people understand how this happens and how they too can get out, and how maybe you can even stop someone from nitle, im byron pitts. Our thanks to byron for that report. Up next, the story of a generation coming to a close with the rise of skywalker. Wed love some help with laundry. Spray and scrub anything with a stain.
