Oprah shared an inspiring post on her 70th birthday, depicting a healthy and active celebration. The media icon posted an image of herself running on a beach with a female friend and a fluffy white dog by her side, emphasizing the significance of maintaining good health. Oprah, donning a chic raw blue sweat outfit with sneakers, expressed gratitude for the birthday love and highlighted the importance of health, declaring it the best gift.
Notable figures such as Gigi Hadid, Kris Jenner, and Niecy Nash acknowledged Oprah's post with likes, while comments were disabled. Social media was flooded with birthday tributes to Oprah, including a post from CBS on X for Gail King, who sent heartfelt birthday wishes to her best friend. Other celebrities like Viola Davis, Nate Burkus, Tyler, and Maria Shriver also extended warm birthday greetings to Oprah on various platforms.
However, this isn't the first time Meghan Markle found herself excluded from Oprah's birthday festivities. Last year, she and Prince Harry were also absent from the guest list for Oprah's 69th birthday bash, which included star-studded attendees like Kim Kardashian, Sharon Stone, and Jessica Alba. Despite expectations of the Sussexes' presence, considering their friendship with Oprah, the couple was notably missing.
The snubs extend beyond birthday celebrations, as Prince Harry and Meghan Markle also skipped the 25th anniversary of the cosmetics company Anastasia Beverly Hills. Oprah, along with Heidi Klum, Kim Kardashian, and Jennifer Lopez, attended the milestone event. Columnist Kara Kennedy characterized the couple's absence from these gatherings as a snub by the American elite, suggesting that it reflects a turning tide for the Sussexes. Kennedy argued that the couple's transition from working royalty to celebrity status hasn't paid off, referencing their interview with Oprah as a campaign against the British monarchy. An unnamed Hollywood insider claimed that the public is realizing that Prince Harry and Meghan Markle thrive on drama, contrary to their initial portrayal of seeking a quiet life.
