Oprah Winfrey will interview Prince Harry and Meghan, Duchess of Sussex, on Sunday night at CBS in their first interview since they stopped real duties and since they announced that she is pregnant with second child. In a preview of “Oprah with Meghan And Harry: A Primetime Special” by CBS, Meghan accused Britain’s royal family to actively encourage lies about her.
Asked by Oprah how she feels about the palace hearing her talk about life in the royal bubble, Meghan replied, “I don’t know how they could hope that, after all this time, we would still be silent if there was an active role that ‘ The Firm ‘is playing in perpetuating falsehoods about us. “” The Firm “is a common nickname for the royal family.

CBS News confirmed the allegations first reported on Wednesday by The London Times which later Meghan married Harry in 2018 and moved to the royal house, unidentified members of the team accused her of “emotional cruelty and manipulation”, forcing two aides to resign.
In a rare move, Buckingham Palace issued a public response, saying on Wednesday that it was “clearly very concerned about the claims of The Times” and that its human resources team “will analyze the circumstances described in the article”.
“You could probably only describe this relationship now, between the two sides, as a total war,” Sunday Times royal correspondent Roya Nikkhah told CBS News. The couple’s interview with Oprah was taped two weeks ago, before the accusations became public.
In another preview of the interview, Harry said that his “biggest concern was history repeating itself”, an apparent reference to his late mother, Diana, Princess of Wales. Her parents divorced in 1996 after a long – and very public – breakup. She died a year later in a car accident after being chased by paparazzi. Harry was 12 when she died.
“You know, for me, I’m really relieved and happy to be sitting here, talking to you, with my wife by my side,” said Harry. “Because I can’t even imagine what her life must have been like, going through this process alone, so many years ago. Because it was incredibly difficult for both of us – but at least we had each other.”
torment told James Corden in February, that he feels the British press is “toxic”.
“We all know what the British press can be like, and it was destroying my mental health … I was like, ‘This is toxic’,” the prince told Corden in an interview that aired on CBS “The Late Late Show. “” So I did what any husband and father would do – it was like, ‘I need to get my family out of here.’ “
Harry and Meghan’s interview takes place when their grandfather, Prince Philip, 99, has been hospitalized for more than two weeks. On Thursday, Buckingham Palace said it successfully undergone surgery for preexisting heart disease.
