The former first lady was asked during a conversation with “Access Hollywood” about her thoughts on the consequences of Oprah Winfrey’s interview with the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, which aired on March 7 on CBS.
“My hope is that when I think about what they are going through, I reflect on the importance of the family, and I just pray that there will be forgiveness, clarity, love and determination at some point,” said Obama.
“Because there is nothing more important than the family.”
Obama, who was interviewed by Meghan for the September 2019 issue of British Vogue, referred to the former “Suits” actor as a friend, praising her as a “thoughtful leader who is breaking the mold and making our world best for that “in an Instagram post at the time.
The interview dominated international news headlines last week, sending shock waves through Buckingham Palace. The royal institution was accused of being racist, allowing toxic behavior and failing to protect or even help Meghan when she asked for it while going through a mental health crisis.
Harry said he felt he should move away from his family to preserve his own mental health, as well as that of his wife and son, Archie. Although he expressed hurt towards his father, Prince Charles, about how his family was treated, he said he hoped their relationship could be repaired.
“But at the same time, it is clear that I will always love him. But a lot of hurt has happened, and I will continue to make it one of my priorities to try to heal that relationship, ”he said.
