US talk show host Oprah Winfrey says she was the victim of racism during a recent visit to Switzerland.
She says an assistant refused to serve her in an upmarket handbag shop in Zurich.
Winfrey, one of the richest women in the world, was apparently told the bags on display were “too expensive” for her.
This incident came amid a political row over plans by some Swiss towns to ban asylum seekers from being allowed in some public places.
