Oprah Winfrey has been vocal with her support for Meghan Markle, and now she’s opening up about why she’s weighing in on how the Duchess of Sussex has been dealing with her much-scrutinized pregnancy and birth plans.
Meghan has been criticized for not following royal protocol and breaking tradition, but Oprah seems to be applauding the royal’s attitude.
"Oh my God! I'm so proud of her decisions," Oprah told ET at The Hollywood Reporter’s Empowerment in Entertainment Gala. "To be able to stand up and say this is what I really want for my baby and my family and now I'm going to do it a different way when it's been done that way for a thousand years? I'm just so proud of her."
Meghan and Prince Harry have reportedly made the decision not to pose for photographs right after the birth of their first child. Kate Middleton and Prince William have welcomed cameras outside of the hospital following the birth of their children, but it appears Meghan might be opting for a more private approach to her post-labor arrangements.
"Who is ready to walk out and stand before the world and put that face on, you know, a day after you've had a baby?" Oprah also told ET. "So I think for her and him – I'm sure it was a mutual decision for the two of them – I think it's a great thing."
“I feel that if people really knew her, they would know that she is not only everything you perceive her as being graceful and dynamic in holding that position, but that she just has a wonderful warm, giving, funny heart. I see all the crazy press around her, and I think it's really unfair."
