Meghan Markle and Prince Harry on Oprah is set to be watched by millions around the world as the couple speak candidly about their royal life, marriage, becoming parents and more.
Since the Harry and Meghan Oprah interview was confirmed, there has been considerable amounts of excitement and speculation about the topics they will cover during the exclusive sit down interview with Oprah and to what extent they will address their decision to step back from royal life.
Meghan Markle and Prince Harry’s Oprah interview is set to be aired in the US, but royal fans are desperate to know how to watch it in the UK and what the tell-all chat will include. Especially now that Prince Harry and Meghan have officially quit the royal family.
Buckingham Palace announced that the couple ‘confirmed to Her Majesty The Queen that they will not be returning as working members of The Royal Family’ just days after the Duke and Duchess of Sussex revealed they are expecting their second child. These big announcements all came within days of the confirmation that there was going to be an interview with Harry and Meghan on Oprah that would cover some personal topics.
When is the Harry and Meghan Oprah interview?
Having now settled into their new home in LA and removed themselves entirely from royal life, Meghan Markle and Prince Harry are set to appear in their Oprah Winfrey special in just a matter of weeks.
Meghan and Harry have already recorded their sit down interview with Oprah. If you are based in the US, then you can watch the 90 minute chat on Sunday 7 March on US TV channel CBS.
The couple’s interview isn’t actually Harry and Meghan appearing ‘on Oprah’ as stars used to when the TV legend had her own show, but rather the interview will be shown as part of CBS’s 60 Minutes series and was produced by Oprah’s production company.
The show, titled Oprah with Meghan and Harry, will be on at 8pm Eastern Time in the US (around 1am on Monday morning in the UK).
