Winfrey owns three ranches collectively worth almost $86 million in Montecito, California, the same area where Markle and Harry purchased their home for an estimated $14.65 million, according to the Los Angeles Times. It turns out they don't just live in the same town — they're down the street from each other.
Winfrey clarified that the sit-down interview was not filmed at either of their houses, "even though we're neighbors — I'm down the road, you're up the road."
On CBS This Morning, she declined to reveal whose home it was filmed at, but said it wasn't Gayle King's.
"I'm not going to disclose the friend, because I don't want people now going to find the friend and the friend's house," Winfrey said. "But I have friends!"

The couple rescued the chickens from a factory farm.
"I love your little designer house here," Winfrey said as they went out to feed the chickens. "'Archie's Chick Inn.' Oh, how cute is that?"
Harry sang a line of the song "Just the Two of Us" when talking about his and Markle's secret wedding ceremony before the televised event.

Markle said she and Harry had a secret backyard wedding three days before their televised royal wedding in 2018.
"No one knows that, but we called the archbishop and we just said, 'This thing, this spectacle is for the world, but we want our union between us,'" she said. "So the vows that we have framed in our room are just the two of us in our backyard with the Archbishop of Canterbury."
"Just the three of us," Harry said, including the archbishop in the count. He then sang "Just the three of us" to the tune of Grover Washington Jr. and Bill Withers' 1980 hit "Just the Two of Us."
Experts told Insider's Monica Humphries the ceremony could not have been an official, legal wedding. Two witnesses are required by the Church of England, and the ceremony must take place in a church or a location with a license.
Winfrey referenced Markle's friendship with Serena Williams, saying she and Kate Middleton went to "watch a friend play tennis" at Wimbledon.

Winfrey asked Markle about attending Wimbledon in 2019 with Middleton.
Markle and Williams became friends in 2014 while playing in the DirecTV Beach Bowl, where they played a game of celebrity flag football.
"We hit it off immediately, taking pictures, laughing through the flag football game we were both playing in, and chatting not about tennis or acting, but about all the good old fashioned girlie stuff. So began our friendship," Markle would write later on The Tig.
After the interview aired on CBS on Sunday, Williams posted a message of support for Markle on Instagram.
"Meghan Markle, my selfless friend, lives her life — and leads by example — with empathy and compassion," Williams wrote. "She teaches me everyday what it means to be truly noble."
Winfrey removed her glasses and appeared to get emotional as Markle talked about contemplating suicide.

Markle wiped away tears as she described her experience of having suicidal thoughts amid swirling tabloid stories and what she said was a lack of support from the palace.
Winfrey appeared to get emotional as well, removing her glasses and setting aside her notebook.
"Nobody should have to go through that," Winfrey said.
In a touching moment, Markle used a sweet nickname for Harry.

Standing in their chicken coop with Winfrey, Markle referred to Harry as "H" when talking about calling the Queen to check in on Prince Philip's hospitalization.
"This morning, I woke up earlier than H, and saw a note from someone on our team in the UK saying that the Duke of Edinburgh had gone to the hospital," she said. "But I just picked up the phone, and I called the Queen just to check in."
Markle and Harry's son, Archie, made a rare appearance.

The royal pair shared a black-and-white video of their 22-month-old son playing at the beach with his parents and their two dogs, Guy and Pula. The toddler can be seen running around holding a stick while dressed in a button-down cardigan.
In one of the more lighthearted moments of the interview, Harry and Markle spoke about their son.
"The highlight for me is sticking him on the back of the bicycle in his little baby seat and tak[ing] him on these bike rides, which is something I was never able to do when I was young," Harry said. "I can see him on the back, and he's got his arms out. And he's like 'Whoo,' chatting, chatting, chatting, going 'Palm tree, house,' and all this sort of stuff."
