Two of America’s leading media figures shared sharply different opinions about Meghan Markle, the entrepreneurial wife of Prince Harry and a key critic of the British royal family.
Meghan Markle has become one of the most divisive personalities in American pop culture, as seen in the contrasting perspectives presented by Oprah Winfrey and Megyn Kelly this week.
Oprah Winfrey, Meghan's neighbor in Montecito and the host of her landmark 2021 interview, included Meghan in her annual “Oprah’s Favorite Things” holiday gift guide, as reported by the Daily Mail.
Winfrey promoted some products from Meghan’s home goods brand, As Ever, recommending a three-jar gift set of berry spreads and orange marmalade priced at $42.
“Before my neighbor Meghan started her business, she shared her homemade recipes with us,” Winfrey wrote.
The media icon added:
“I love to drizzle (one of the spreads) on an English muffin or yogurt or ice cream. I also love bringing a jam or preserves as a hostess gift, and with this pretty box set of orange marmalade and raspberry and strawberry spreads, just add a bow and you’re ready to go.”
While Oprah highlighted Meghan’s entrepreneurial success and home products, Megyn Kelly expressed strong criticism, reflecting the polarized public opinion surrounding Meghan Markle in the U.S.
The divide underscores how Meghan Markle remains a controversial figure, eliciting passionate responses from different segments of American society.
Summary: Meghan Markle remains a deeply polarizing figure in the U.S., celebrated by Oprah for her business ventures yet criticized by others like Megyn Kelly.
