Oprah Winfrey revealed she was taken by surprise after her interview with Prince Harry and Meghan Markle was called a "bombshell".

Speaking to Gayle King on CBS, Oprah was quizzed about the explosive interview she had with the couple in early 2021. During this interview, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex alleged that one unnamed royal questioned what skin colour their baby Archie would have, reports the Mirror."I was as surprised by the bombshell as everybody else," she admitted to Gayle. "I was doing an interview to offer them a platform to tell their story about why they left, and that was my number one intention was just clarity on 'why did you leave?'"Oprah continued: "And so some of the things that were revealed in that interview came as a surprise to me and those surprises are now referred to as 'bombshell'."But I didn't set out to do a 'bombshell' interview.

I set out to do an interview, have a conversation that would allow them to tell their story." Gayle then said: "And now people say, 'reconciliation, reconciliation, we hope the brothers reconcile', what do you say?"Oprah quickly fired back: "I do not get into people's family matters.

Everybody who has experienced some challenges in their families with in-laws or brothers or sisters knows how difficult some of those situations can be and I'm sure that you know for the royal family, it's no different."She then added matter-of-factly: "And nobody comes to talk to me about their family business so I try and stay out of people's family business!" As CBS Mornings cut back to studio where Gayle was presenting live, she admitted to her co-hosts: "And after that Oprah goes, 'and Gayle that is the end of that interview!'" before laughing.During the 2021 tell-all interview
