Michelle Obama outrage: Fury amid claims Ex-FLOTUS ‘advised’ Meghan Markle and Harry

People spoke online about their shock as to why the Obamas were getting involved in the couple’s life decisions. Despite the claims, it emerged via People, that a source squashed the rumours of help, branding them “totally false”. The source added: “The rumours of them having anything to do with this are totally false.

“The former president and first lady are not advising the couple and have not been in contact with them.”

Last week, sources have told the Daily Mail’s Rebecca English that Harry and Meghan have had talks with the Obamas and getting advice on how to operate and build success away from their more prominent roles.

The source said: “They have found huge commercial success without actually looking like they are getting their hands dirty, to put it bluntly, and retaining their popularity.

“In fact it is fair to say that their star has soared since leaving the White House, particularly Michelle’s, and this is something Meghan admires very, very much.”

But the reports sparked anger online.

One wrote on Express.co.uk: “Since when were the O’Barmy’s ever been in the Royal Family to advise them.”

Another said: “And what the hell do these losers know about being part of the ruling class for over 1,000 years.

“Diddly squat but they are in line for a big pay off.
