The interview with Meghan Markle would have been postponed if Prince Philip died, says Gayle

Gayle king says the Meghan Markle–Prince Harry interview with Oprah it would have been temporarily 86’d … if Prince Philip died after going to the hospital.

Oprah’s best friend revealed on Wednesday on her radio show “Gayle King in the House” SiriusXM that there was a plan in place to stop broadcasting the interview on CBS if Philip had passed away.

Gayle said, “Well, just so you know, they did that interview before Prince Philip went to the hospital. If something, God forbid, had happened to him, the interview wouldn’t have happened at this specific time. But, the interview it was done and it was scheduled before he went to the hospital. But a lot of people raised that point. “

Prince Philip, of course, was admitted to the hospital in mid-February, before news leaked that his condition was far more serious than the palace admitted. He was battling an infection related to a pre-existing heart disease, for which he finally underwent surgery.
