Meghan Markle and Prince Harry interview is ‘best Oprah has ever done’, sources claim

OPRAH Winfrey’s interview with Prince Harry and Meghan Markle is “the best she’s ever done”, it’s claimed.

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex’s bombshell tell-all interview with the chat-show queen is set to air in the US on March 7.

Harry, 36, and Meghan, 39, are reportedly “very candid” in the 90-minute Oprah sit-down.

The explosive chat was filmed last week, just before the Queen confirmed the couple had officially left the Royal Family.

Sources claim they will reveal the “tension” within the Royal Family.

The Oprah interview will air on CBS at 8pm Eastern Time in the US – just hours after the Queen makes a rare televised address to the UK.

OPRAH’S ‘BEST INTERVIEW’

According to Royal author Omid Scobie, CBS presenter Gayle King, a pal of Oprah’s, said: “I’ve heard from reliable sources—this is Oprah talking—that it’s the best interview she’s ever done.

“I think that’s saying something!”

The interview was filmed just days after Prince Philip was taken to hospital.

Harry and Meghan have vowed they will be “speaking their truth” to US chat show veteran Oprah, 67.

IT comes after Harry opened up to James Corden during an interview in LA.

The Prince was filmed rapping the Fresh Prince of Bel Air song as they took an open-top bus tour around the city.

But critics questioned the timing of his interview, which came just hours after the Queen made a “rare and important” video about the Covid vaccine.

Her Majesty, 94, given her injection seven weeks ago, urged Brits to get the jab and “think about others” rather than themselves.

One senior source told the Mail Online: ‘This blurring of the lines doesn’t help anyone.

‘UNHELPFUL’

“When the Queen speaks like this it is her message that should be heard without other distractions.

“This lack of coordination is unhelpful.”

In another potential clash, Harry and Meghan’s Oprah interview will come on the same day the Queen addresses the nation.

Her majesty will mark Commonwealth Day on March 7 as the church service has been cancelled due to Covid-19.



Oprah Winfrey’s chat has sparked a bidding war, it was reported

The Sussexes’ Oprah interview is set to be broadcast at primetime in the UK — with ITV clear favourites to screen it.

Rivals BBC did not bid and Sky pulled out of the running for the rights to the couple’s “intimate” 90-minute chat.

Oprah was photographed climbing into her £50million private jet last Friday after filming the interview with Harry and Meghan in California.

The couple were stripped of their royal patronages and military titles after the Queen refused their request for a hybrid role.

Harry was said to be upset after being stripped of his honorary military titles as the terms of Megxit were laid out.

But a royal source said: “Time to hide behind the sofa at the palace.

“Oprah is skilled at getting people to talk about their feelings and bound to take them down a path they’ll almost certainly regret.”
