When NBC host Jenna Bush Hager asked Michelle Obama how she felt about Meghan’s claims that she had experienced racism within the monarchy, she said: “Race isn’t a new construct for people of colour so it wasn’t a complete surprise to hear her feelings, and to have them articulated.”

“But the thing I hope for, the thing I think about, is that this is first and foremost a family and I pray for forgiveness and healing, so they can use this as a teachable moment for us all.”

 

Michelle also spoke about the pressures of being a public servant.

 

“When you watched Meghan Markle speak out, what went through your mind?” Bush Hager asked.

Michelle responded to Jenna Bush Hager: “Public service, it’s a bright, sharp, hot spotlight, and most people don’t understand it, and nor should they.

“The thing that I always keep in mind is that none of this is about us in public service. It’s about the people that we serve. I always try to push the light back out and focus it on the folks that we are actually here to serve.”
