Oprah Winfrey and Meghan Markle’s friendship started under the world’s spotlight when the former actress and Prince Harry sat down with the revered media personality for that unforgettable royal interview. What began as a professional encounter soon turned into a genuine bond built on trust, warmth, and mutual respect. Over the years, Markle and Winfrey have quietly stayed close, sharing moments far away from cameras and headlines.

Recently, Oprah Winfrey let slip that one of her favorite things happens to be a product from Meghan Markle’s lifestyle brand, perfect for gifting.

Oprah Winfrey has unveiled her 2025 Favorite Things list via USA Today, featuring an array of luxurious yet meaningful picks and one standout comes from her Montecito “neighbor,” Meghan Markle, the Duchess of Sussex. Markle’s As Ever lifestyle brand makes its debut on the billionaire's holiday gifting ideas with a fruit spread set priced at $42. Winfrey revealed she has personally enjoyed the Suits alum’s recipes for years, sharing that she loves to drizzle the product in discussion on English muffins, yogurt, or even ice cream.

Oprah Winfrey, according to USA Today, described Meghan Markle’s As Ever jam set as an ideal hostess gift, noting how the recently launched beautifully boxed item including orange marmalade, raspberry, and strawberry flavors needs only a bow to be ready for gifting. The 2025 Favorite Things list, available on OprahDaily.com and featuring a Meghan Markle good, notably comes shortly after Winfrey reportedly took a jibe at the actress-turned-royal-turned-entrepreneur.

Not long ago, rumors of a rift brewed as Oprah Winfrey seemingly took aim at Meghan Markle’s With Love, Meghan moment.

Oprah Winfrey has stood firmly beside Meghan Markle since she gave that explosive 2021 interview to her. However, their seemingly unshakable bond took a turn this July when Winfrey appeared to mock the Sussexes’ last name by putting extra emphasis on “xes” during Kelly Ripa’s Let’s Talk Off Camera podcast. The joke came shortly after Markle had corrected Mindy Kaling for addressing her with her maiden name instead of Sussex during her With Love, Meghan appearance. Reports earlier this year suggested that Markle, as well as Prince Harry, were stung by Winfrey’s jest about their last name.

Despite the brief tension, however, Oprah Winfrey’s recent gesture proves that some friendships endure the test of time. By spotlighting Meghan Markle’s As Ever jam set on her coveted Favorite Things list, Winfrey not only celebrated a thoughtful product but subtly reaffirmed her support for the Duchess. As Markle’s business continues to skyrocket, with many believing she could become the royal family’s next billionaire, it seems both women have mastered the art of turning life’s flavors, sweet or tart, into lasting success.
