Michelle Obama speaks out on Meghan Markle interview and racism accusations
No one has escaped Meghan Markle and Prince Harry's interview with Oprah Winfrey. Not even Michelle Obama. The former first lady, interviewed by NBC's “Today” program, gave her take on the couple's accusations of racism: “As I said before, race is not a new construction in this world for people of color, so it was no surprise to hear these things. Meghan Markle had indeed reported on a conversation where the royal family were concerned about the skin color their son, Archie might have.
Barack Obama's wife, however, hopes that the family will manage to overcome this ordeal: “I think that the thing that I hope, and what I think about, is that it is above all a family. I pray for forgiveness and healing for them so that they can use this as a learning time for all of us. "
In any case, these allegations of racism continue to generate ink. Used to never responding to attacks, the Queen issued a statement following the broadcast of the couple's interview. She explained that “the issues raised, in particular that of skin color, are worrying. If the memories differ, they are taken very seriously and this will be dealt with as a family in private. Elisabeth II added: "Harry, Meghan and Archie will always be loved members of the family. During a visit, Prince William had answered a question of a journalist arguing that the royal family were not racist.
