Michelle Obama said Meghan's recollections about a remark made by one member of the British royal family about the possible darkness of her son's skin were heartbreaking and that she hoped Meghan's experiences would be a lesson for the world.
Meghan and her husband, Prince Harry, accused an unidentified royal family member of raising racist concerns about their son and courtiers of ignoring her pleas for help when she was suicidal.
Asked about Meghan's disclosure of the remark about the skin of Meghan and Harry's son, former U.S. first lady Obama told NBC News: "I feel like that was heartbreaking to hear, that she felt like she was in her own family, her own family thought differently of her."
