Explosive revelations from Harry and Meghan

Former first lady Michelle Obama says she hopes pals Meghan Markle and Prince Harry can reconcile with the British royal family after the couple’s bombshell TV interview last week.

“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,” Obama told Access Hollywood.
