The American talk show host has become one of the Duke and Duchess of Sussex's strongest allies

Oprah Winfrey has issued a rare message of support to Meghan Markle following her latest move.

The American talk show host has become one of the Duke and Duchess of Sussex's strongest allies since stepping down from working for the Firm.


On New Years Day Meghan, 43, announced her return to social media following a hiatus.

On January 2, the mother-of-two revealed her upcoming Netflix series will be titled "With Love, Meghan," and will showcase her love of cooking, gardening and hosting.

Following the announcement that Meghan was set to star in her cooking show, Winfrey, 70, showed her full support.

The media mogul who founded her own monthly women's magazine "O", shared her excitement.

She penned to her 3.4 million followers on @Oprahdaily: "We're about to see more of Meghan Markle in 2025!

"The Duchess of Sussex announced she will have a new cooking show on Netflix.

"Tap the link in our bio to watch the trailer and find out when you can tune in. (It's sooner than you think!)."

Winfrey famously interviewed Harry and Meghan in a bombshell sit-down back in 2021.

This resulted in the Duchess of Sussex making claims that Princess Kate made her cry, and that an unnamed senior royal raised "concerns" about Prince Archie's skin colour.

Winfrey later promoted the coffee brand that Meghan invested in and posted the luxurious PR gift she was sent, which came after she gifted her children's book to the Sussex's firstborn.

Meghan was spotted attending Winfrey's book club session at a bookstore in Summerland back in September.

Most recently, Winfrey gave an insight into their close friendship and revealed that "her neighbour Meghan" had gifted her a body care set for the holiday season, which was shared on her Favourite Things List 2024.

She gushed that the former Suits actress had introduced her to the Tatcha set, saying: "I loved it because it was sent to me by a neighbour, friend actually, Meghan Markle.

"If you were to come in my house right now and film my bathtub, you would see these three things."
