I bet you thought that no one ever says no to Oprah Winfrey, but Meghan Markle did. You see, before the actress became a Duchess, Winfrey asked her for a sitdown interview, but Buckingham Palace would not let her do it. In fact, Markle says that there were people listening to their telephone conversation to make sure that she turned down the offer.
Why did she say yes now? “Well, so many things. That we’re on the other side of a lot of…a lot of life experience that’s happened,” Markle told Oprah. “And also that we have the ability to make our own choices in a way that I couldn’t have said yes to you then. That wasn’t my choice to make. So, as an adult who lived a really independent life to then go into this construct that is…different than I think what people imagine it to be, it’s really liberating to be able to have the right and the privilege in some ways to be able to say yes.”
The rest of their unrestricted, 2-hour chat will air Sunday at 8p on CBS.
Be prepared for Markle to claim to be the victim. She isn’t. I bet you she wears the pants in their marriage, and Harry has to do whatever she says. I feel for him. I am sure he wanted a change, but I don’t think he wanted all of this. Hopefully, his family will take him back with open arms after he gets divorced. We all know they are going to get one eventually.
It would be nice if they could live happily ever after, but that only happens in fairy tales.
Yesterday, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle announced that they are expecting their second child together. Today, CBS announced that Oprah Winfrey will be talking to the couple about that and so much more.
“Winfrey will speak with Meghan, The Duchess of Sussex, in a wide-ranging interview, covering everything from stepping into life as a Royal, marriage, motherhood, philanthropic work to how she is handling life under intense public pressure,” CBS wrote in a press released. “Later, the two are joined by Prince Harry as they speak about their move to the United States and their future hopes and dreams for their expanding family.”
The exclusive 90-minute special will air on March 7th.
Oprah Winfrey made a name for herself as the most loved talk show host, but then she got her own network. Every now and again, she still does interviews on OWN. However, not enough.
Well, now she is back doing what we love her for, interviewing people on important issues starting this Thursday. Lady O wrote, “It’s time to bring humanity back to the conversation. Tune in to my new show #TheOprahConversation, where I’ll be joined by fascinating guests to have conversations that unite us—not divide us. Watch 7/30 on @AppleTV.”
According to The Hollywood Reporter, the first episode is available for free. Maybe this is what we need to unify our divided country. If anyone can do it, it is Oprah!
Gayle King flew from NYC to California to see her best friend Oprah Winfrey, but she had to wait 13 and 1/2 days to hug her.
Oprah had a really bad case of pnuemonia last year, so she cannot and will not catch COVID-19. Therefore, anyone who wants to physically be with her has to be quarantined for 2 weeks. Steadman Graham had to do it, and so did Gayle and her staff from CBS This Morning.
It is all worth it because they get to get a huge hug from Lady O, and who doesn’t want that? I would stay inside for 14 weeks just to get that. Look at her warm and comforting they are. We all need that now.
https://www.instagram.com/p/B-GG5IHgBZE/ Last year, Oprah Winfrey had pneumonia, so she is not taking any risks with Coronavirus. Therefore, when Steadman came back from his business trips that required some flying, Oprah did not let him back in the house.
She told Oprah Magazine why she put him in the dog house, “He’s at the guesthouse, because you all know I had pneumonia late last year…I had just gotten off of antibiotics last week, because I had a bronchial infection.” Then she added, “‘I don’t see what everybody’s getting so upset about!’ That’s what Stedman was saying…and that’s why Stedman’s at the guest house!”
This is why we have to wash our hands, not touch our faces and practice social distancing. If we don’t do it, then Oprah will put us all in the dog house with just four eggs. Actually, I would not mind being punished like that. It looks really nice.
