On that occasion, one of the most remembered appointments and the one that made headlines when the Duchess of York said marrying a prince was not like a story, ‘That’s the fairy tale, but when reality comes, You weren’t married to have the fairy tale, you married a man, you fell in love and you married a man and then you have to accept the story. It’s real life, ”began the laughter of those in attendance, Sarah said,“ They believe this is real life, ”referring to the Windsors, their family up to that point. In the interview, which was also surrounded by controversy at the time, Sarah told things that were not in the public domain, referring to Buckingham Palace and its rules, and even did some sort of tour of the images that Oprah I had to talk about the place.
In personal matters, Sarah admitted that, despite being in a very special position, she always had issues with self-esteem: “I was in the most privileged position, I have been on the pedestal,” she noted, Unable to continue, she was asked if she could have kept her tiara, to which she replied, much to the delight of the audience.
Questions about Diana

During the conversation, Oprah didn’t pass up the opportunity to ask if she knew how much her partner had suffered: “No, she was very good at not showing. Later, when I was there, I lived there, I knew more and more about the pain. It is very cruel and very painful when you try to find the feelings in (yours), to be in such a public position ”.
In a question that could be repeated in this new interview, Winfrey asked Sarah why, when you have all those privileges, you don’t just follow the rules of the game: “You can do that, if it suits you. But I’m afraid Diana and I were like rivers. We want to learn more. We want to go around. We are hungry for life. We are very curious. I’m speaking for myself, not for her, because she’s not here, ”she replied. And to go further, in a statement very similar to the one recently made by Meghan, the Duchess wanted to say to the American public, “I have to explain that the British press is completely and deeply cruel, insulting and so invasive at this point. . “
That hasn’t been the only interview Sarah Oprah has given over the years – that conversation would mark the start of two months of media appearances in the United States – in fact, it wouldn’t be the most controversial either. But despite Meghan’s position being different in terms of her marriage, the questions Oprah will be asking could follow the same line this time around.
