Former first lady Michelle Obama says she hopes friends Meghan Markle and Prince Harry can reconcile with the British Royal Family after the couple’s bombshell TV interview last week.
“I hope that when I think about what they are 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 in a report Monday.
“Because nothing is more important than family,” Obama said.
Markle and the prince rocked the palace when they told interviewer Oprah Winfrey that a royal woman expressed “ concern ” about how dark their son Archie’s skin would be, given that the Duchess is biracial.
The pair also handed out everyone from sister-in-law Kate Middleton – who Markle said she once 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.
