To say Meghan could be the new Oprah?

Yes, Oprah’s a super-talented journalist. And has the x-factor.

Meghan is a low-rent actor. She has tonnes of ambition & grit.

But, we’re in the era of the Influencer. She’ll get to the top!

And, I want her jam. Her jam is my jam. I don’t hate her…

Ok then.

Nonsensesponsence · 02/04/2025 20:49

Megan, is that you?

Zanzara · 02/04/2025 20:50

Tedious.

Megan, is that you?

My thoughts exactly!

I think it must be👍🏼

Elunajeya · 02/04/2025 20:51

Lol, sure.

This latest venture will sink without a trace, like all her other ventures. All that will be left will be for her to divorce and try and launch herself again. That won’t work either.

Gowlett · 02/04/2025 21:05

D’you think so, Elunajeya? I think she’ll make it.

She’ll divorce Harry, and hook a billionaire, that’s certain.

But Meghan Duchess of Sussex for five more years.

While the kids are small & she builds her empire.

I don’t think she’s sufficiently interested in other people.

x2boys · 02/04/2025 21:08

Oh goody another tedious meghan bashing thread.🙄

This.

I can’t imagine her interviewing people - she only seems to want to talk about herself 😂

RhododendronFlowers · 02/04/2025 21:10

Why would she divorce Harry? Where else would she get a title, status, royal cachet and unearned ££millions?

hazelnutvanillalatte · 02/04/2025 21:11

@RhododendronFlowers if she thought she would get a better offer, she would, but until then she won't

RhododendronFlowers · 02/04/2025 21:11

Oprah has done well because she's bright and determined, hard working and engages with people.
None of this applies to Meghan.

Well, to be fair, we can't know the state of their marriage! It's all very performative with the kissing and the clinging, but you still don't know!

LeavesOnTrees · 02/04/2025 21:15

Oprah has worked her way up from poverty, through talent and hard work, over decades.

Meghan married a Prince.

Yep.

MNHQ, please can you come and collect the OP, they seem to have escaped from the RF section and need locking back up.

Gowlett · 02/04/2025 21:18

D’you think so Elunajeya? I think she’ll make it.

She’ll divorce H, and hook a billionaire, that’s certain.

But “Meghan, Duchess of Sussex” for five more years.

I don’t understand your OP. You say that you don’t hate Meghan Sussex but compare her to Oprah Winfrey and beyond that I’m lost .

BottleBlondeMachiavelli · 02/04/2025 21:20

@RememberEveryMoment 😁😂

Gowlett · 02/04/2025 21:21

Sorry! Didn’t realise Meghan-talk had to be in RF.

Her brand launched today, I find her fascinating!

keswickgirl · 02/04/2025 21:23

I don’t think there will be a ‘next’ Oprah. Who was Oprah before Oprah? There is only one Oprah, and Meghan is nothing like her. Come to that, who will be the next Meghan? Silly way to think.

Gowlett · 02/04/2025 21:48

Good point, keswickgirl. I sort of mean she might have the same reach as Oprah. I think that’s her goal in life.

It’s definitely not privacy! I reckon that was more what Harry wanted. I think she’ll be a successful Influencer.

With Oprah, even Gwyneth, it’s talent, hard work. But in this era, fame is a different game. Meghan understands that.

Oprah was very much of her time and she’s still basically living on her legacy. There won’t be another Oprah but if there is it will be someone with innate likability and an ability to get the best out of people. I’m not sure that person is Meghan.

thinktwice36 · 02/04/2025 21:54

But she’s just really fake and annoying. And totally bereft of any ability to connect with people.

NautilusLionfish · 02/04/2025 21:56

Her venture is also Netflix's venture. They won't let it sink
