Oprah’s Disappointment: Meghan Markle and Prince Harry’s Friendship Ends in Alleged Lies
Oprah Winfrey has reportedly ended her friendship with Meghan Markle and Prince Harry following a series of alleged lies and exaggerations made by the couple.
The fallout began after Winfrey interviewed the Duke and Duchess of Sussex and realized that their accounts may not have been entirely truthful, as per Woman's Day's November 8 issue.
The rift deepened when Markle claimed earlier this year that Kate Middleton made her cry, and both she and Prince Harry accused the royal family of neglecting their complaints and mental health struggles.
Markle also revealed her struggles with suicidal thoughts due to the relentless scrutiny from the British press.
According to a source, Winfrey was left disappointed and furious with the couple for tarnishing her reputation.
The insider disclosed that the headlines and revelations made by Prince Harry and Markle led Winfrey to distance herself from them, as it significantly impacted her standing as a respected interviewer.
Moreover, former supporters of the Sussexes have started to question the authenticity of the couple's actions, leading to a shift in public opinion against them.
Winfrey's recent statement about having only a few close friends was seen as a clear indication that she no longer considered Prince Harry and Markle among her inner circle.
In a surprising turn of events, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex have repaid the $3 million renovation costs of Frogmore Cottage, their Windsor residence, using funds from their lucrative Netflix deal.
Originally covered by the UK's Sovereign Grant, funded by taxpayers, the couple expedited the repayment after signing a multi-million dollar contract with the streaming platform.
Having resided in Frogmore since 2019, Harry and Meghan transformed the historic property into a modern family home, complete with luxurious amenities.
Despite the renovations, the couple recently relocated to Montecito, California, where they continue to focus on their philanthropic endeavors and content creation for Netflix.
With their Frogmore debt settled, the spotlight now shifts to how the Duke and Duchess of Sussex will utilize the remaining funds from their Netflix partnership.
As they embark on this new chapter, Harry and Meghan aim to create inspiring family-oriented programming that aligns with their values and aspirations as new parents.
