Oprah Winfrey hopes Queen’s death helps Harry & Meghan ‘make peace’ with royals after bombshell interview caused chaos
OPRAH Winfrey has said she hopes the Queen’s death will help Harry and Meghan “make peace” with the Royal Family.
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex reunited with the Prince and Princess of Wales over the weekend as they grieved the late monarch together.
In a show of unity, the brothers joined their wives together to speak with mourners outside Windsor Castle.
They put their difference aside after years of speculated rifts – which Meghan and Harry’s Oprah interview appeared to exasperate last year.
And Oprah Winfrey, 68, has said she hopes Queen’s loss will help bring the family back together.
The chat show queen told Extra: “I think in all families – you know, my father passed recently, this summer – and when all families come together for a common ceremony, the ritual of, you know, burying your dead, there’s an opportunity for peacemaking.”

In an explosive interview with Oprah last March, Meghan then told how she had suicidal thoughts after joining the Firm.
She also said a member of the Royal Family raised concerns about the colour of Archie’s skin – and “what that might look like” for the family.
Rumours of Meghan and Kate’s speculated row was also addressed, with Meg claiming Kate made her cry – not the other way around.
