Michelle Obama says Meghan’s interview is heartbreaking
Michelle Obama said Meghan’s memories of a remark by a member of the British royal family about the possible darkness in her son’s skin were heartbreaking, and that she hoped Meghan’s experiences would be a lesson to the world.
Meghan and her husband, Prince Harry, accused an unidentified royal family member of raising racist concerns about their son and courtiers for ignoring her prayers for help when she was suicidal.
Meghan and Harry’s television interview with Oprah Winfrey has dragged the royals into their biggest crisis since Harry’s mother Diana’s death in 1997.
Asked about Meghan’s revelation of the remark about Meghan’s and Harry’s son’s skin, the former US first lady Obama told NBC News: family thought differently than her. “
“Like I said before, the race is not a new construction in this world for people of color, so it was not a complete surprise to hear her feelings and have them articulated,” she said.
“I think what I hope for and what I think about is that this is first and foremost a family. I ask for forgiveness and healing for them so that they can use this as an educational moment for us. all. “
Queen Elizabeth said last Tuesday that the royals were saddened by the challenging experiences her grandson Harry and his wife had, and promised privately to deal with revelations of a racist remark about their son.
Prince William, Harry’s older brother, denied that Britain’s royals were racist.
