While Adele has done multiple interviews leading up to the big one with Oprah, it’s her sit-down with the mega television personality that cuts the deepest. We’ve learned a lot from her through the other interviews, including her marriage and divorce and current relationship with Rich Paul, but we learned more and dived deeper into Adele’s personal thoughts and feelings. It’s often said that you don’t meet Oprah without willing to spill the beans, and it’s true in Adele’s case.
The “Hello” singer explored a lot of personal topics during the sit-down. The interview was more than just a narrative that goes with what inspired a song, Adele seemed to bare it all.
While Adele was praised for being vulnerable, others thought that she was over-sharing, and yet one of them thought that she acted very much like someone else who chatted about her personal life at that same location just a few months back.
Adele And Meghan Markle Branded More Than Just Pals
One of them is a member of the British royal family and one of them is one of the best-selling artists of all time, but the pair bonded over Pilates, charity work, and, well, being neighbors (sort of).

Journalist Janet Street-Porter believes that Adele’s bond with the controversial Duchess extended more than just that of friendship, she believes Adele is taking a leaf out of Meghan’s book.
Writing in her latest column for the Daily Mail, Street-Porter begged to be spared anymore of Adele’s talking.
She wrote: “In her teens and twenties, Adele was adorable – brash, loud, madly enthusiastic and completely unprepared for all the awards she won for albums bluntly charting her bad relationships and disappointments in love.
“But now she’s one of the most famous people in the world with a multi-million-pound fortune isn’t it time to button up, to let the songs speak for themselves, to spare us the back story, the intimate details about a failed marriage- especially when we are only hearing one side of the story?”
After the interview aired, Adele, 33, shared her gratitude to everyone involved in helping her get her truth out into the world on Twitter. “The most beautiful venue I’ve ever played. Thank you to everyone who made it possible. To Oprah for allowing me to tell my truth lovingly in a safe space.”

Street-Porter compared her words “my truth” and “safe place” to Meghan’s. “Can you any longer tell the difference between Meghan Markle and Adele Adkins? Both had difficult relationships with their fathers and worship their mothers.
“Both felt that Oprah was the best person to share their ‘truths’ with.
“In other words to offer the world a shiny version of what they want us to believe, slickly edited and unchallenged.
She branded the Grammy award-winning singer an “over-packaged, self-important musical Meghan Markle,” adding that she’ll likely skip the singer’s upcoming interview on ITV, airing this weekend.
