Meghan Markle and Prince Harry are about to get the Oprah Winfrey treatment of the interview.
On Monday, February 15, CBS announced that the talk show icon will sit with the Duke and Duchess of Sussex for a 90-minute primetime special scheduled to air on the network on March 7 at 8 pm . News of the interview – the royal couple’s first high-profile joint meeting since the BBC News engagement interview in November 2017 – comes a day after the couple’s announcement that Markle is pregnant.
According to CBS, the special will feature an “extensive interview” between Oprah and the future Duchess on subjects ranging from “entering life as royalty, marriage, motherhood, philanthropic work to how she is dealing with life under intense public pressure. “Harry will later join the women to discuss” his move to the United States and his future hopes and dreams for the expansion of the family, “according to a press release.
Oprah is no stranger to new California residents. She was a guest at her 2018 wedding in England. After the pair announced their decision to step away from real duties, Oprah denied rumors that she had been involved in the decision, telling NBC: “Meghan and Harry don’t need my help to find out what’s best for them.” She noted, “I care for both of you and support any decisions you make for your family.”
In December 2020, Oprah also accessed social media to reveal a gift that Meghan, now a neighbor, had sent her before Christmas.
