Trust the internet to give a funny twist to anything and everything to provide a daily dose of humour. And who has given netizens more meme-worthy content than Oprah Winfrey with her numerous memorable TV moments. The latest fodder of memes that has hooked people worldwide is her veteran talk show host’s reaction during the interview of Meghan Markle and Prince Harry.
Although the tell-all interview was about the Duke and Duchess of Sussex and their rift with the British Royals, it was the queen of American television, who proved once again why she has reigned at the top for so long. Bringing a delicate mix of empathy and honesty in the emotional interview, Winfrey earned plaudits online not just from viewers but her colleagues and peers as well.
As the CBS interview has left social media abuzz about many pressing issues like racism, mental health and complicated nature in which monarchy functions — it has also led to many memes and jokes online.
The 67-year-old host’s perfectly executed “What?” after Markle’s initial mention of questions being asked about her son Archie’s skin colour has resonated with many online. As the Duchess continued to elucidate further, her “stop it” expression, too, has caught the attention of eagle-eyed viewers.
