Michelle Obama addresses Meghan Markle's royal family racism comments

• "So it wasn't a complete surprise to hear her feelings and to have them articulated."

Driving the news: In the Duke and Duchess of Sussex's bombshell interview last week, both Harry and Markle, whose mother is Black, said unnamed relatives had expressed concern about what the skin tone of their baby would be.

• Buckingham Palace has said while "some recollections may vary," the issues the couple raised "are taken very seriously and will be addressed by the family privately." 
• Obama noted that this "first and foremost is a family" and that she prays "for forgiveness and healing for them so that they can use this as a teachable moment for us all."
