Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are set to sit down for a ‘wide-ranging’ and ‘intimate’ TV interview with Oprah that will cover everything from their latest pregnancy and marriage to their exit from the royal family.
The 90-minute primetime special, entitled ‘Oprah with Meghan and Harry’, will air on CBS on March 7, and will focus primarily on the Duchess of Sussex who will discuss ‘everything from stepping into life as a Royal, marriage, motherhood, philanthropic work to how she is handling life under intense public pressure’.
Prince Harry will then join his wife in front of the camera, and the two will open up about their decision to move to the US following Megxit, and their ‘hopes and dreams for their expanding family’.
The interview is the latest in a line of carefully-planned publicity moves for the couple and the news comes less than 24 hours after the Duke and Duchess of Sussex announced that they are expecting their second child.
Meghan and Harry’s decision to record an interview with Oprah is unsurprising given their close friendship with the TV host, who was a guest at their 2018 wedding in London, and now lives just a short distance from the couple’s $14.5 million Montecito mansion.

In December, the TV mogul made clear her close relationship with the couple when she promoted Meghan’s new range of vegan coffee in an Instagram post that is estimated to have been worth $1 million in free publicity.
However, their decision to take part in such an ‘intimate’ interview is at odds with the couple’s ongoing insistence that they wish to maintain complete privacy.
