Michelle Obama Offers Advice To Meghan Markle Amid Kate Middleton Rift

Michelle Obama has offered a word of advice to Meghan Markle.

Just recently, the Duchess of Sussex is embroiled in an alleged rift with her sister-in-law, Kate Middleton. The pregnant royal is going through a lot, so the former U.S. first lady thought of giving her some advice.

"Like me, Meghan probably never dreamt that she’d have a life like this, and the pressure you feel – from yourself and from others – can sometimes feel like a lot," Obama said in an interview with the Sunday Mirror (via Express). "So my biggest pieces of advice would be to take some time and don’t be in a hurry to do anything."

According to Obama, she spent her first few months in the palace worrying about her daughters and making sure that they were off to a good start at school. She also made new friends before she was even launched into any ambitious work.

"I think it’s okay – it’s good, even – to do that," Obama added. "What I’d say is that there’s so much opportunity to do good with a platform like that – and I think Meghan can maximize her impact for others, as well her own happiness, if she’s doing something that resonates with her personally."

An insider previously said that Obama wanted to meet Prince Harry and Markle. Unfortunately, the Obamas and Donald Trump were not invited to the royal wedding in May.

"Michelle is keen to see the Clooneys when she is in the U.K., as she and Barack are very close to George. She also wants to see Harry and Meghan as she was very disappointed to not have been able to attend the wedding and wants to check in on them,” a source said.

“She was instrumental in introducing Harry and Meghan and feels a responsibility to see how they are getting on, as well as celebrate the news they are about to become parents."

In related news, Markle's father, Thomas Markle Sr., is not happy with the reports about her daughter. Markle Sr. criticized and attacked the palace for the rumors while insisting that Markle was only a victim.

"All this is happening when she’s expecting her first child. Instead of support, she’s getting nothing but flak from so-called Palace sources blowing nasty gossip and innuendo into huge so-called stories," Markle Sr. said. "They’re nothing but snobs and their behaviour towards her is a disgrace."
