Oprah Winfrey appeared to be ignoring rumours she "shunned" pals Meghan Markle and Prince Harry as she enjoyed a trip to the Amalfi Coast.
The 69-year-old TV presenter has been surrounded by speculation that she failed to invite the Duke and Duchess of Sussex to her big birthday bash earlier this year, which was attended by stars such as Kim Kardashian and Jennifer Lopez.
Oprah reportedly "snubbed" Harry and Meghan because of the bombshell comments made in their Netflix documentary and Harry's memoir Spare.
While the trio haven't commented on the rumours, they have developed a close friendship over the years and it seemed Oprah was keen to ignore the speculation as she enjoyed a boat ride.

Meghan and Harry hit out at William and Kate in their explosive Netflix docuseries as they revealed the poor treatment they received from members of the Royal Family.
Newsnation's story producer told the station's senior host Nichole Berlie: "Everyone's got a movie to sell and a Broadway play they want to debut on screen in London or West End and they know that Prince William and Kate — who are the biggest [celebrity] gets over there won't show if they think someone is friends with Harry and Meghan."
They added: "The big power players in Hollywood aren't jeopardising their business for Harry and Meghan."
