Now, Michelle Obama, while speaking to an entertainment website, reacted to the interview and said, "My hope is that, when I think about what they're going through, I think about the importance of family and I just pray that there is forgiveness and there is clarity and love and resolve at some point in time. Because there's nothing more important than family."

Among the revelations made, Markle said that there were "concerns and conversations about how dark (her son Archie's) skin might be when he's born."

"The whole family is saddened to learn the full extent of how challenging the last few years have been for Harry and Meghan," Buckingham Palace said in a statement, released on behalf of Queen Elizabeth.

Prince William also reacted and claimed that the royal family "is very much not racist."
