Meghan Markle raised eyebrows by meeting with Terry Woods, a key member of Oprah Winfrey’s production team, just weeks before the 3rd anniversary of her and Prince Harry’s headline-making interview with the media mogul.
The intimate dinner in Los Angeles fueled speculation that Meghan may be planning new media projects with Woods’s support.

Woods is a highly influential figure as the chief of Harpo Productions, Oprah’s company behind The Oprah Winfrey Show and other ventures.
He worked closely with Meghan and Harry on their March 2021 interview, which contained bombshell revelations about their experiences with the British royal family, and also collaborated with Harry on Oprah’s mental health series, The Me You Can’t See.
The timing of Woods and Meghan’s meeting is especially notable given the approaching anniversary of that interview on March 7th.
It was a cultural phenomenon, drawing over 49 million viewers globally. However, it also caused major tensions with the royals after Harry and Meghan leveled accusations of racism, lack of support, and security failures.
For the meeting, the Duchess of Sussex was dressed in casual chic with a black sweater, matching jeans, a Maison Goyard bag, and her metallic grey leather CC toe ballerinas.
Meghan has increased her media presence over the past year. She recently accompanied Prince Harry to Canada to promote the Invictus Games in Invierno 2025.
Meghan just announced a new podcast with Lemonada Media, fueling rumors that Woods could be advising her on that project.
The dinner with Woods took place after Meghan met with the designer of her wedding dress, Clare Waight Keller, earlier in the day, suggesting that she may have several personal and professional plans in the works.
As the 3-year milestone of her most iconic interview approaches, she appears to be actively positioning new media ventures with Oprah’s empire behind her.
Whether collaborating again with Oprah or just seeking advice from her trusted producer, Meghan’s latest meeting hints at an ambitious new chapter in her public life unfolding soon.
