Patio chairs used for Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s bombshell interview sell out
The chairs used in Oprah Winfrey’s explosive interview with Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have sold out online.
In the shocking two-hour special, Winfrey and the Duke and Duchess of Sussex sat in a friend’s garden on wicker and acacia outdoor chairs from former Brady Bunch star Christopher Knight’s design collection to discuss racism, parenting, and their reasons for stepping back from the royal family.
The royals and Winfrey sat in the Christopher Knight Home Burchett outdoor chairs, which cost $554 a pair, during the dramatic TV chat.
Although the brand’s goods frequently appear in movies, reality TV shows, and interview segments, a spokesman stated that the firm is unaware of this until they watch and witness it for themselves.
“Unlike all times prior, this time the furniture has grown beyond set dressing and become part of the story,” a spokesman for CNN Business said. “It seems everything the Royals say, do, or touch draws interest. Though we are grateful for the notoriety — the social media response has been tremendous — we remain surprised at the occurrence.”

During the conversation, one user asked on a Facebook UK interiors site, ”Anyone know where I can get this furniture?’
Another commented: ‘I’d love 2 have those patio chairs n giant rug!! Where’d ya get em @oprah??’
“In Oprah’s sensational interview with Prince Harry and Meghan this week, who would have thought the furniture would have been noticed at all, but it was…and not even by me!” Knight wrote on Facebook. “I am honored to have the patio chairs from my collection become the seat of the most fascinating famous sit down in recent history.”
Knight’s firm reported on Facebook on Tuesday that the chairs had sold out online, including at Amazon, Target, and Overstock.
Knight then joked that it would “appear Meghan and Prince Harry got ‘Knighted’ in a way never anticipated.”
Knight explained on Facebook that he did not create the set, citing his business partners. “I am grateful to my talented business partners who have excellent taste, and skills in delivering a line of furniture that is both affordable and fit for royalty-both foreign and domestic,” stated the former actor.
The chairs are part of a new collection that was launched this season for the first time. “While it was already selling well and gaining great traction, the attention this famous interview has brought the product accelerated the sales beyond what anyone could have expected,” the spokesperson said.
In a subsequent post, Christopher Knight Brands acknowledged that the chairs had sold out, but provided links for buyers to know when they would be back in stock.
“To our pleasant surprise our wicker and acacia Burchett Outdoor Club Chairs were used for the Prince Harry and Meghan Markle interview with Oprah Winfrey. Currently, they are out of stock. Below are links to check for availability at a later time,” the company said in a post that included a photo of Harry, Meghan, and Winfrey during their conversation.
The seats are made of acadia wood with plastic braided sides.
An interior design expert stated that the patio furniture was intended to symbolize informality and accessibility, as well as to portray the two ladies as ‘non-competing sisters.’
In 1988, Knight took a break from acting to pursue a business career. He became a serial entrepreneur, founding a 3D graphics firm and an educational materials company before launching his furniture line in 2012. Six years later, he launched a lifestyle range of selected items such as bedding, tabletop, and glasses.
Knight returned to television in 2019 for a four-part HGTV series called “A Very Brady Renovation,” which starred all six original Brady sibling cast members, the Property Brothers, and other celebrities.
