Oprah surprised that Meghan Markle went ‘all the way there’ during interview

Oprah Winfrey has opened up on what she thought of Meghan and Harry’s explosive TV interview.

Oprah Winfrey says she had no idea her revealing interview with Prince Harry and Meghan Markle would be so impactful.

The American talk show host said she was surprised that the Duchess of Sussex “went all the way there” by accusing the royals of racial bias.

The 67-year-old opened up about the March broadcast on Nancy O’Dell’s new TalkShopLive streaming show.

“I had no idea that it would have the reverberating impact that it has had and continues to have,” the media mogul said.

“Our shared intention was the truth. They wanted to be able to tell their story and tell it in such a way that allowed them to be as truthful as possible,” Winfrey continued of the pair.

The talk show host said she was “surprised” when the bi-racial Duchess of Sussex said that royals had raised concerns over the darkness of baby Archie’s skin.

Oprah Winfrey went in depth with Nancy O’Dell about her thoughts on the royal interview.

The talk show host said she was “surprised” when the bi-racial Duchess of Sussex said that royals had raised concerns over the darkness of baby Archie’s skin.

“What? You’re going there? You’re going all the way there,” Ms Winfrey exclaimed to O’Dell.

“The reason why it was such a powerful interview … was when you have somebody else who is willing to be as open, as vulnerable, as truthful as they were,” she told O’Dell.

Oprah also explained how great lengths were taken to make sure no one in the crew leaked the content of the more than three hour interview before it went to air, so that the couple’s remarks couldn’t be “misconstrued.”

The interview with Oprah led to front page attention for the royals all over the UK.

Talks between Prince Harry and senior members of the royal family have stalled — due to persistent leaks “from the Sussex side,” according to a new report.

Discussions between the two sides broke down following Prince Philip’s funeral last week — when Harry met privately with his brother, Prince William, and their father, Prince Charles, to hash out their differences.

But since then, no “meaningful conversations” have been had, with aides increasingly concerned over private details that have emerged in recent news stories about the notoriously private family, the Sun reported.
