Our shared intention was the truth.

“Who is having THAT conversation… with you?

Hold up, hold up,” Winfrey said during the interview (viaThe Independent).

People just genuinely didn’t understand why we left," Meghan explained (perHarper’s Bazaar).

“I think they should do what they feel is best for them and for their family.

That’s what I think.

That’s what the bottom line comes down to.

What do you feel like is the right thing for you?”

Winfrey told Gayle King on CBS Mornings.
