Oprah Winfrey's now infamous interview with Prince Harry and Meghan Markle sent shockwaves throughout the royal family. Some 'bombshell' claims were dropped during the 2021 interview.
However, the 68-year-old American actor and TV presenter has revealed she did not set out to extract any juicy gossip from the couple. The Mirror reported that she just wanted to give the pair a platform to tell their story and was as surprised as the next person when they made several sensational claims during the chat.
Speaking to Gayle King on US TV channel CBS, she said: “I was as surprised by the bombshell as everybody else. I was doing an interview to offer them a platform to tell their story about why they left, and my number one intention was just clarity on 'why did you leave?’”
