Oprah Winfrey Distances Herself from Meghan Markle After Alleged Lies
In a surprising turn of events, Oprah Winfrey has reportedly ended her friendship with Meghan Markle after realizing that the Duchess had been less than truthful during their interview.
According to Woman's Day magazine's November 8th issue, Winfrey became aware shortly after interviewing Prince Harry and Markle that the couple had not been entirely honest in their accounts.
Earlier this year, Markle claimed that Kate Middleton had made her cry, and both she and Prince Harry accused the Royal Family of disregarding their complaints and mental health struggles.
Markle also alleged that she had contemplated suicide due to the relentless targeting by the British press.
A source close to Winfrey revealed that the talk show host is deeply disappointed with Prince Harry and Markle, as they have tarnished her reputation.
“As soon as those headlines started coming out, and Oprah learned that they'd either exaggerate or downright lied to her, she was furious,” the source stated.
This revelation has dealt a severe blow to Winfrey's standing as one of America's most skilled interviewers, and even eight months later, her reputation has yet to fully recover.
Furthermore, the insider claimed that former supporters of Prince Harry and Markle are beginning to realize that the couple's actions do not align with their preachings, leading to a shift in public opinion against the Sussexes.
Fans of Winfrey are pleased that she has distanced herself from the couple, as they believe Prince Harry and Markle should not be her friends.
The recent revelation during an interview where Winfrey mentioned having only a handful of friends was seen as a clear indication that she no longer considers the Sussexes as her close companions.
“That was a rather pointed comment to make because, until that point, everyone in Oprah's circle assumed she was extremely close with Meghan.
But it seems that's changed,” the source revealed.
In a surprising development, thousands of people in the UK have vowed to boycott Meghan Markle and Prince Harry's interview with Oprah Winfrey when it airs.
Winfrey herself expressed her astonishment at the revelations made by the couple during the interview, which quickly went viral.
She disclosed that she had sent them a text before the interview, believing they would share the truth.
Speaking on Nancy O'Dell's channel on Talkshop Live, Winfrey shared, “I had no idea that it would have the reverberating impact it has had and continues to have.
I did a lot of preparation for that.”
Winfrey admitted that she was taken aback by the openness displayed by Harry and Meghan during the interview, particularly when Markle mentioned that royal family members had discussed concerns about Archie's skin color.
“I'm like, what?
You're going there?
You're going all the way there?”
Winfrey recalled her thoughts at the time.
She explained that she always has a conversation with her interview subjects beforehand, emphasizing the importance of intention.
In this case, their shared intention was to tell their story as truthfully as possible.
The power of the interview, according to Winfrey, stemmed from the willingness of Harry and Meghan to be open, vulnerable, and truthful.
She credited herself for asking the right questions but acknowledged that the true impact of the interview came from their honesty.
Winfrey stressed the importance of releasing the interview at the right time to ensure that it was seen in its entirety without any leaks or misconceptions.
The fallout from the interview has been significant, not only affecting the relationship between Winfrey and Markle but also causing public opinion to shift against the Sussexes.
The allegations of dishonesty have damaged Winfrey's reputation as an esteemed interviewer, while many of their former supporters have started to question Prince Harry and Markle's credibility.
As the aftermath of the interview continues to unfold, it remains to be seen how these revelations will impact the future of the Duke and Duchess of Sussex.
