Oprah Winfrey hopes Queen Elizabeth's death will bring the Duke and Duchess of Sussex closer to the rest of the royal family.

The 68-year-old media mogul famously conducted a tell-all interview with the couple - who stepped away from official duties to start a new life in the US in 2020 - last year which is believed to have widened the rift between them and Prince Harry's relatives, but over the weekend, the pair joined the Prince and Princess of Wales in meeting members of the public outside Windsor Castle who had come to pay their respects to the queen following her death last Thursday (08.

09. 22). And Oprah hopes it was the first step in bringing the whole family back together again, with relations between Harry and his father, King Charles, and brother, Prince William, said to have been particularly strained.

Asked if there is hope the queen's death can "unify the family", Oprah told 'Extra': “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… And hopefully, there will be that. ” During her interview with the couple, Meghan - who is biracial - and Harry claimed unnamed members of the royal family had "concerns and conversations" about how "dark" the skin of her son Archie, now three, would be.
