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.
