Two of the most influential American media figures recently shared opposing opinions about Meghan Markle, the entrepreneurial wife of Prince Harry and a major figure in the British royal family drama.
Meghan Markle has clearly become a highly divisive personality in American popular culture, as evidenced by the differing perspectives from Oprah Winfrey and Megyn Kelly this week.
Oprah Winfrey, Meghan's neighbor in Montecito and interview host during the highly publicized 2021 special, featured Meghan’s business in her annual holiday gift guide, Oprah’s Favorite Things, according to the Daily Mail.
Winfrey promoted some products from Meghan’s As Ever home brand, encouraging fans to spend $42 on a three-jar gift set of berry spreads and orange marmalade.
“Before my neighbor Meghan started her business, she shared her homemade recipes with us,” Winfrey wrote, as shared in a customer email from As Ever.
She 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.”
Meghan Markle’s public image splits opinion sharply, with Oprah’s support highlighting her entrepreneurial efforts and community spirit.
Author's summary: Meghan Markle remains a polarizing figure in America, celebrated for her business by Oprah while provoking strong criticism from others.
