Oprah Winfrey has given us a preview of her exclusive interview with Meghan Markle and Prince Harry.
Harry speaks in two short clips about his mother, Princess Diana. He told Oprah that he quit the Royal Family rather than face the crushing exploitation that killed Di... “My biggest concern was history repeating itself.”
Oprah secured the first joint interview with Harry and Meghan since their engagement four years ago. Growing interest in the special convinced CBS to expand the show from 90-minutes to two-hours.
According to Royal watchers, Queen Elizabeth stripped Harry of his honorary military titles because he never asked her permission to be interviewed by Oprah. Prince William has no idea what Harry told Oprah. The brothers have not spoken for months.
Oprah and the formal Royals are neighbors. She conducted the interview two weeks ago at their mansion near Santa Barbara, California. Meghan wore a $4,700 Giorgio Armani gown. The primetime special will air on CBS this Sunday, March 7th. (Harper’s Bazaar)
UPDATE:
Meghan Markle is ready to tell all during her big interview with Oprah Winfrey Sunday -- and one of the "shocking claims" she reportedly makes is about her battle with mental health during her time in the U.K., according to Page Six.
The Duchess will also discuss her experiences with racism in Great Britain.
But, according to Page Six, "the most staggering moments will come when she discusses the breakdown that led to her and [Prince] Harry quitting the royal family and leaving his home country."
Oprah was "stunned" to hear how bad things were for Meg as a royal, saying in the trailer, “You’ve said some pretty shocking things here … wait, hold up, wait a minute.”
A TV insider tells Page Six, “What Meghan says is very, very serious and upsetting.”
