Nobody has the right to question Prince Harry and Meghan Markle - Oprah Winfrey, Gayle King

Oprah Winfrey Oprah Winfrey

Oprah Winfrey and Gayle King have defended the decision by Prince Harry and Meghan Markle to step aside from royal duties.

Oprah who is friends with Meghan Markle made this known when she spoke to a TMZ reporter while walking with Gayle King in New York last night.

According to Oprah, she supports Prince Harry and Meghan Markle and also believes the Duke of Sussex 'did what he needed to do for his family.'

'I don't think anybody else has any right to say anything, when a person has sat and thought about what is the best decision for him and his family, and then he makes that decision... none of us have any right to say anything about that.'

Gayle also defended the couple saying: 'Prince Harry didn't make that decision in a vacuum. There were a lot of conversations.'

Oprah then commented again: 'I support them 1000 per cent. I support them because I believe that when you have thought about this as long as they have... And even in the Queen's statement, take note, this has been going on for months.

'These discussions have been going on for months, so when you've thought about it for months...'

She also praised the speech delivered by Prince Harry at the Sentebale Charity dinner on Sunday night where he revealed why he stepped aside from royal duties.

She said: 'When he gave the charity statement for Sentebale, the last line of his statement where he said, he had to make the decision to back away from his family in order to move forward in peace with his new family...'

'I don't know how they came up with those words, but who doesn't feel that?. Who doesn't have feel what it takes to make those decision, to give up everything you've known your whole life, to say "I am going to choose this new life and what I believe to be the truest vision to myself?".

'Who are any of us to stand in judgement of that? That's what I think.'

On if she found the move inspiring, Oprah said: 'I wont even say inspiring, I'm saying he did what he needed to do for his family. That's his decision to make for him and his family.'

Meanwhile, Gayle added: 'They didn't make that decisions in a vacuum. There were a lot of conversations, and that's why I thought it was very unfair to say that the Queen was blindsided.
