Michelle Obama says it 'wasn't a complete surprise' to hear Meghan talk of racism in the royal family
CNN
For many people of color, hearing Meghan, the Duchess of Sussex, speak about racism within the royal family was, though shocking, not exactly surprising. And one of those people was former first lady Michelle Obama.
In an interview with Jenna Bush Hager on NBC's "Today" show, Obama spoke about her thoughts on Meghan's experiences with the family. "Race isn't a new construct in this world for people of color. So it wasn't a complete surprise to hear her feelings and to have them articulated," Obama said during Tuesday's interview.More Related News
