Oprah Winfrey said Prince Harry and Meghan Markle should “do what they feel is best for them and their family” when friend Gayle King asked if the couple should attend King Charles III’s coronation.
“It has been reported that Meghan and Harry have received an invitation to the coronation,” King said during a “CBS Mornings” interview with Winfrey this week. “Do you think they should go? Do you think they shouldn’t? Is there anything you’d like to comment on? I’m listening.”
“I think they should do what they feel is best for them and their family,” Winfrey responded. “That’s what I think. That’s what it comes down to. What do you feel is right for you?”
But, Winfrey added, “they haven’t asked me.”
PRINCE HARRY, MEGHAN MARKLE’S CHILDREN YET TO BE INVITED TO KING CHARLES’ CORONATION: REPORT
The couple caused a stir in 2021 when they gave a sit-down interview with Winfrey in which they made bombshell allegations against the palace, including concerns from some about how “dark” their first baby Archie would be.
Winfrey also attended their extravagant royal wedding at Windsor Castle in 2018.

May 6 also happens to be Archie’s fourth birthday.
Princess Diana’s former butler, Paul Burrell, recently told Closer Weekly that he thinks Harry may attend the coronation alone, but that Markle will likely stay back in California with their two children.
“I don’t think Meghan is brave or strong enough to be there. She should face a family she has pushed under the bus,” he said. “But I think Harry can come alone and she’s probably told him she won’t be able to be by his side with him if he attends.

“It will probably be incredibly uncomfortable for them if they attend, especially Meghan.”
Since their interview with Winfrey, the couple have continued to make waves, determined to give their reasons for stepping down as senior royals in 2020 and settling in the US
