Meghan Markle and Prince Harry’s bombshell interview for CBS with Oprah Winfrey would have been postponed if Prince Phillip had died, Gayle King revealed.
Winfrey’s close friend, King, said on his SiriusXM program on Wednesday that the former royalty recorded the interview before Prince Philip was admitted to the hospital in February.
“If something, God forbid, had happened to him, the interview would not have happened at this specific time,” she said in “Gayle King in the House,” (via TMZ).
She continued: “But the interview was done and scheduled before he went to the hospital. But, many people have raised that point. “
Meghan and Harry received a negative reaction for broadcasting the interview that revealed everything while the queen’s husband, Prince Philip, 99, was hospitalized while recovering from a cardiac operation.
During the interview, the former “Suits” actress claimed that Buckingham Palace did nothing when she sought help for having suicidal thoughts and that someone in the royal family had “concerns” about the color of her son Archie’s skin.
The Duke of Edinburgh was discharged from hospital on Tuesday and “is not aware of the full extent” of his grandson’s interview with his wife and Oprah.
King, who says he spoke to the royal couple after the interview, has been sharing information, including that Meghan allegedly has “many receipts” to support the racism allegations she made.
King also shared that Harry’s conversations with his brother, Prince William, and his father, Prince Charles, “were not productive.”
