The Interesting Connection Between "The Brady Bunch" and Oprah's Interview With Meghan and Harry

From House Beautiful

More than 17 million people tuned in to Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's tell-all interview with Oprah on Sunday. The former royal couple touched on a range of important topics, including their struggles with the tabloid media and their own mental health.

The backdrop to the important conversation was a lush garden setting, belonging to an anonymous "friend" of Oprah and the couple's. Many viewers couldn't help but take notice of the patio chairs they were sitting in.

Luckily, the internet works quick and it turns out that the trio had popped a squat in the Burchett Outdoor Club Chairs from Christopher Knight Home. To fans' luck, the chairs were available in sets of two on Amazon, but have since sold out. Christopher Knight Home is, in fact, named after The Brady Bunch's Christopher Knight, who played Peter Brady.

Knight took to Instagram this week to express his gratitude over all the hype the chairs received. "I am honored to have the patio chairs from my collection become the seat of the most fascinating famous sit down in recent history," he wrote. He even joked that Meghan and Harry had become "Knighted."

However, he also explained why he couldn't take full credit for all of this. "Although it was stated that I was the designer of the furniture, I was not," he explained. He continued: "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.⁠"

As written on the Christopher Knight Home website, "the brand was established by a number of furniture industry veterans, a lineup of talented designers, and a posse of key internet marketing wizards." While the brand, formed in 2012, takes after Knight's name, The Brady Bunch alum wanted to call out that he has a network of creatives making this collection. As the saying goes, it takes a village.... or maybe a (Brady) Bunch?
