[Asia Economy Reporter Cho Hyun-ui] Michelle Obama, wife of former U.S. President Barack Obama, said she is "not at all surprised" by Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's allegations of racism within the British royal family.

On the 16th (local time), Mrs. Obama stated on NBC's Today Show, "Racism is not a new issue for people of color."

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle caused a major stir after claiming in an interview with U.S. CBS on the 7th that they experienced racism within the British royal family.

Meghan Markle alleged that when she was pregnant with their first child Archie, there were conversations within the royal family about how dark the baby's skin might be, and that Archie was denied a prince title because of his skin color.

Mrs. Obama said, "I am not at all surprised to hear how she felt at the time." She added, "Above all, family comes first," and said, "I will pray that Prince Harry and Meghan Markle can forgive their family and find healing."
