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