In a bombshell revelation that has sent shockwaves through Hollywood and royal circles alike, Oprah Winfrey has publicly confessed deep regret over trusting Meghan Markle. The admission came quietly but powerfully during a behind-the-scenes moment on a recent Apple TV+ interview, sparking an immediate viral reaction.
Oprah, who gave Meghan one of the most powerful platforms in television history with the groundbreaking 2021 interview, now admits that she miscalculated Meghan's intentions. According to sources close to Oprah, she felt used and set up by Meghan’s team, describing it as the biggest mistake of her broadcasting career. Oprah revealed that despite extensive research and careful preparation, Meghan skillfully “weaponized” Oprah’s trust to reset public narratives—tears, accusations, and emotional revelations that captivated millions worldwide.

The confession reportedly came after Oprah learned from her own producers and stylists that Meghan was quietly seeking a second major interview on another platform, signaling her intent to keep the media spotlight alive and controlled. This left Oprah feeling manipulated rather than respected as a journalistic professional.
Inside sources revealed Oprah’s profound frustration at having opened her platform in good faith only to experience what she described as a “performance,” lacking genuine transparency. Her decision to distance herself from future Sussex-related interviews marks a dramatic turn in their complicated relationship.
The admission also fueled renewed debates about Meghan’s media strategy: whether her candidness was a genuine call for understanding or a carefully crafted campaign for sympathy and control. Critics seized on Oprah’s words as evidence of Meghan’s deceptions, while supporters suggested Oprah’s regrets highlight the difficult balance of trust and skepticism in high-stakes celebrity journalism.
This stunning moment redefines one of the most famous interviews of the decade and opens new questions about Meghan’s ongoing media saga and public persona.
