Oprah Winfrey has reportedly turned down a second tell-all interview with Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, according to a source quoted by Naughty But Nice. The reported rejection deals another blow to the couple as they navigate their Hollywood careers.
"Harry and Meghan would love a Part Two," an insider told Naughty But Nice. "They're talking again because they both have projects to promote, and they know interviews generate headlines. They hoped Oprah might be interested in a fresh chapter about healing. She isn't."
No interest in royal drama
The source claimed Oprah is not interested in revisiting the royal storyline. "Oprah took plenty of criticism after the first special. She has absolutely nothing to gain by stepping back into the royal drama. As far as she's concerned, that story has been told."
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex famously sat down with Oprah in 2021, discussing their decision to step back as senior working royals. A second interview, however, appears unlikely.
Hollywood setbacks
The couple's partnership with Netflix has faced reported challenges, with With Love, Meghan reportedly not being renewed for a third season. Their Netflix deal began with the 2022 documentary series Harry & Meghan. Meghan's lifestyle brand As Ever has also encountered reported difficulties.
In recent months, the couple have been taking a hit with their brand. Meghan has been told to "lean into" her title, as her former pal suggested royal status is her "brand."
Ongoing battles and ventures
Harry continues to face challenges with ongoing legal battles over his UK security arrangements. Despite the setbacks, the couple has continued to pursue independent projects: Meghan has focused on growing As Ever, while Harry has remained involved in charitable work and initiatives through their Archewell platform.
