Megan and her husband, Prince Harry, accused an unidentified royal family member of raising racist concerns about their son as well as the firm, ignoring her pleas for help when she was suicidal.

The tell all interview with Oprah Winfrey has dragged the Royals into their biggest crisis since the death of Harry's mother, Diana, 1997.

When asked about Megan's disclosure of the remark, Michelle 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, she added.

Race isn't a new construct in this world for people of color, and so it wasn't a complete surprise to hear her feelings and to have them articulated.

She also said that she is praying for forgiveness and healing for them so that they can use this as a teachable moment for us all.

Queen Elizabeth said last Tuesday that the Royals were saddened by the challenging experiences of her grandson and his wife and promised to privately address revelations about a racist remark about the couple's son.

Prince William, Harry's elder brother, denied that Britain's Royals were racist.
