Oprah Winfrey is drawing renewed criticism after she rewatched and discussed her 2021 tell-all interview with Meghan, Duchess of Sussex, and Prince Harry. The reports say Winfrey is a neighbor of the couple, who live in Montecito, and that she features the rewatch in a video highlighting moments from her career. In the coverage, some royal commentators and fans question whether Winfrey sufficiently challenged claims made in the interview, arguing that her questions did not test or contest key allegations. Other aspects of Winfrey’s response focus on her inclusion of a follow-up question to Meghan about whether she felt “silenced,” which is presented as a way Winfrey sought context and clarity during the conversation. The outlets describe a public debate around the interview’s approach, with critics calling for stronger pushback and Winfrey pointing to her attempt to address the issue of being silenced. The story reflects ongoing disagreement about how the 2021 interview handled contested statements and what level of scrutiny the interviewer provided.
