Former First Lady Michelle Obama says she hopes Meghan Markle’s friends and Prince Harry will be able to reconcile with the British royal family after last week’s bombshell interview.
“My hope is that when I think about what I’m going through, I think about the importance of family and I just pray that there is forgiveness and that there is clarity, love and determination at some point,” Obama told Access Hollywood. a report on Monday.
“Because it’s nothing more important than family,” Obama said.
Markle and the prince shook the palace when they told interviewer Oprah Winfrey that a royal had expressed “concern” about how dark their son Archie’s skin would be, given that the duchess is biracial.
The couple also offered it to everyone from sister-in-law Kate Middleton – who Markle said once made her cry – to Harry’s father, Prince Charles.
Obama has been a longtime supporter of Markle, calling her “my girlfriend” and “a thoughtful leader” in an Instagram post in 2019.
