We got our first glimpse into how Michelle Obama really feels about Meghan Markle all the way back in December 2018. Per ABC News, Michelle was in London on a highly anticipated promotional tour for her memoir “Becoming.” Among those in the crowd eagerly awaiting the chance to meet with the legendary First Lady was Meghan Markle. As soon as Michelle was finished giving her speech, the British duchess hurried backstage to finally meet the woman who is believed to be her role model.
While this has been widely lauded as the moment their friendship began, new details from that day reveal that Michelle might have grown royally irritated by Meghan instead. In his book “Revenge: Meghan, Harry and the War Between the Windsors,” author Tom Bower claimed that Michelle felt put off by Meghan’s attitude towards Queen Elizabeth and the other members of the royal family. Michelle apparently wasn’t shy about telling Markle how she really felt about her. “Her advice to Meghan was delivered in public,” Bower wrote (via Newsweek). During their conversation, she gave some advice to her younger colleague, saying, “Take some time … and don’t be in a hurry to do anything.”
It wouldn’t be the first time Michelle shot down Meghan’s concerns about the royal family. When asked about Prince Harry and Meghan’s infamous “Oprah” interview, Michelle reminded the new royal to put her people first. “Public service is a bright, white, hot spotlight,” she told Today host Jenna Bush Hager. “None of this is about us in public service — it’s about the people that we serve.”
