It seems Meghan Markle is the Queen of gift-giving, with her close pal Oprah Winfrey raving about one present she received from the Duchess of Sussex.
Oprah has released her annual ‘Favorite Things’ list, which gives fans the perfect gift ideas for their loved ones in time for the holiday season. This year’s list features a body care kit gifted to her by Meghan.
The set includes Tatcha Hinoki body wash, Hinoki body milk, and Hinoki body oil. Oprah wrote alongside the recommendation: “This is a favourite favourite thing, with the scent of a forest sent to me by my neighbor Meghan.”

Oprah joked: “If you were to come to my house, you’d see this body wash, body oil and body milk right by the tub.” Meghan’s gift describes itself as a perfect way to “reduce stress, lift mood and improve wellbeing.”
Meghan and Oprah’s friendship goes back years, with the TV host even attending Meghan’s wedding to Prince Harry in 2018. The Duke and Duchess of Sussex tied the knot at St George’s Chapel in Windsor Castle surrounded by 600 of their friends and family.
Oprah is also close to Meghan’s mom Doria Ragland, with the pair bonding over a shared love of yoga. When Meghan and Harry announced their decision to step down from the Royal Family in 2020, they were supported by Oprah.
The actress said she didn’t believe Harry and Meghan’s decision to step down had been an impulsive choice. “He did what he needed to do for his family,” Oprah said in a video shared at the time.”
In 2021, Meghan and Harry shocked the world when they sat down for a bombshell interview with Oprah about life inside the Royal Family. In the interview, Meghan claimed she received no help from the palace when she was experiencing mental health struggles.
She also claimed there had been “concerns and conversations” about her son Prince Archie’s skin color before he was born. Buckingham Palace released a statement following the shocking revelations.
They said: “The whole family is saddened to learn the full extent of how challenging the last few years have been for Harry and Meghan. The issues raised, particularly that of race, are concerning. While some recollections may vary, they are taken very seriously and will be addressed by the family privately. Harry, Meghan and Archie will always be much loved family members.”
