Oprah Winfrey thinks it’s possible Prince Harry and Meghan Markle could make peace with the royal family at Queen Elizabeth’s funeral. 

Winfrey spoke to Extra’s Jenn Lahmers at the Toronto Film Festival about her documentary “Sidney,” which tells the story of the late actor Sidney Poitier.

During their conversation, Lahmers asked Winfrey if there is potential for the Queen’s death to unite the royal family, as Extra reported. Queen Elizabeth II, 96, died peacefully at Balmoral on Thursday.

“Well, this is what I think, I think in all families — you know, my father passed recently, this summer, and when all families come together for a common ceremony, the ritual of, you know, burying your dead, there’s an opportunity for peacemaking,”

Winfrey told Lahmers. “And hopefully, there will be that.”

Winfrey interviewed Markle and Harry in March 2021 about their step back from the royal family.

In the interview, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex said members of the royal family made racist remarks about Archie, the firm disregarded Markle’s mental-health issues, Kate Middleton made Markle cry during the week of her wedding, and Charles cut the couple off financially following their step back. 

The interview put additional strain on Markle and Harry’s relationship with the royal family. Though Harry briefly united with his family following Prince Philip’s death,

Insider’s Mikhaila Friel and Anneta Konstantinides reported that little had changed between the couple and the royal family a year after the interview.
