Oprah Winfrey ‘surprised’ Meghan Markle went ‘all the way’ with racism claims

After a bombshell interview with Meghan Markle and Prince Harry, Oprah Winfrey is now revealing how she felt about the comments that the couple made.

This week, Winfrey reflected on the interview from March 7 with Nancy O’Dell while promoting her new book, “What Happened to You? Conversations on Trauma, Resilience, and Healing,” saying, “I had no idea that it would have the reverberating impact that it has had and continues to have. I did a lot of preparation for that.

In the infamous interview, Harry and Meghan accused the royal family of making racist remarks regarding the skin color their son, Archie might have, and their lack of sympathy for Meghan who said she felt suicidal for a time.

While speaking with O’Dell, Winfrey maintained that she did not speak with the couple prior to the interview and was surprised by how “forthcoming” the two were in the revelations that they made about the royal family.

“I was surprised,” Winfrey said and added, “What? You’re going there? You’re going all the way there?” She went on to say, “The reason why it was such a powerful interview … What makes it powerful is when you have somebody else who is willing to be as open as vulnerable, as truthful as they were. The reason the interview was what it was because they answered the way they did.”

Harry has since returned to the United Kingdom following the interview where he joined the rest of his family in memorializing his grandfather, Prince Philip who passed away early this month at the age of 99.
