Oprah Winfrey Snubs Harry and Meghan as Expert Claims The Tide Has Turned
Oprah Winfrey attended Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's wedding and was the interviewer the couple gave their first TV tell-all to in 2021, but the couple were nowhere to be seen at the star's recent birthday party
BBC 2 FEB 2023
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's notable absence at Oprah Winfrey 's recent birthday party shows "the tide is turning" with the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, a royal expert claims.
Oprah celebrated her 69th birthday over the weekend, with stars like Kim Kardashian, Jennifer Lopez and Sharon Stone all on hand to help the legendary interviewer mark the occasion in style.
But Harry and Meghan were nowhere to be seen at the star-studded party - something that has surprised many people due to the fact Oprah was the journalist they chose to sit down with for their explosive TV interview in 2021.
It's not known if the couple had prior engagements and were simply unable to make their friend's party, or if Oprah - who attended Harry and Meghan's 2019 wedding - snubbed the pair and left them off the guestlist.
While no-one knows for certain why the Duke and Duchess didn't attend their pal's birthday party, one expert has suggested their conspicuous absence could signify something bigger.
Kara Kennedy claims Harry and Meghan's "loud mouths" are being used against them following the couple's decision to tell their story via Netflix documentaries and tell-all memoirs.
"On a more serious note, snubs like this show that the tide is turning with the Sussexes — and that the gamble that saw them trade in the lifelong duty of being working royalty for the money and fame of being celebrities hasn’t paid off," Kennedy writes in The Spectator.
"It’s easy to see why Oprah wouldn’t want the pair at her birthday shindig after Harry’s latest revelations," she went on to claim.
During their televised interview with Oprah in March 2021, Harry and Meghan claimed a member of Harry’s family had expressed "concerns" over what colour their son Archie’s skin would be while the former Suits actress was pregnant.
The revelation caused many to speculate if the Royal Family is a racist institution, but Harry slammed those claims earlier this year.
Speaking with Tom Bradby ahead of the release of his bombshell memoir, the dad-of-two was told: "In the Oprah interview you accused members of your family of racism," before Harry cut in to insist: "No I didn’t. The British press said that."
Tom looked briefly nonplussed before Harry added: "Did Meghan ever mention that they’re racist?"
The ITV journalist replied: "She said there were troubling comments about Archie’s skin colour."
Harry then said there was 'concern' about his skin colour, to which Tom asked if that would not be described as 'essentially racist'.
The former working royal replied: "I wouldn’t, not having lived within that family."
Kennedy continued to reference the contrasting interviews in her Spector column, claiming: "The interview [with Oprah] was not an attempt to speak truth, nor was it an attempt at reconciliation.
"This was Harry and Meghan’s campaign to finish off the British monarchy — and they used Oprah as a pawn."
