Oprah Winfrey recently reflected on her 2021 interview with Prince Harry and Meghan Markle during a conversation with Gayle King. The interview had stirred controversy, revealing shocking details about the couple's experiences within the royal family.
In light of Queen Elizabeth II's recent passing, Harry and Markle found themselves unexpectedly reunited with the royal family. This public appearance marked the first time in years that Prince William, Kate Middleton, Prince Harry, and Meghan Markle were seen together. The couple's relationship with the royal family had been strained since they stepped back as senior members in 2020, and their bombshell interview with Winfrey further fueled tensions.
Winfrey, in her recent interview with King, expressed that she did not set out to conduct a bombshell interview. Her intention was to provide the couple with a platform to share their story about why they decided to leave the royal family. She admitted to being surprised by some of the revelations made during the interview but clarified that bombshell moments were not the intended outcome.
When asked about the potential for reconciliation between Prince Harry and Prince William following the Queen's death, Winfrey refrained from making predictions, stating that she does not involve herself in people's family matters. She emphasized that family dynamics can be challenging for everyone, and she prefers to stay out of such personal affairs.
Winfrey's recent comments on the matter differ from her previous statement at the Toronto Film Festival, where she suggested that events like the Queen's death could offer an opportunity for peacemaking within the royal family. The current status of Harry and Markle's relationship with the royal family remains uncertain, but positive interactions have been observed since the Queen's passing.
