MEGHAN Markle and Prince Harry will “shine a light” on the tensions with the Royal Family in their sitdown interview with Oprah, it was claimed today.

The news came after months of speculation of a rift between Harry, 36, and William, 39, with the couple announcing the 12 month Megxit review had been finalised with the jibe that “service is universal”.
A source close to the duke and duchess told E!: “There is a lot of tension between them and the Royal Family.
“The interview is going to shine a light on what they have been through. Meghan and Harry are relieved they are away from it all.”
Meghan, 39, who is expecting their second child, will be the star of Oprah chat, revealing her experience of “stepping into life as a royal, marriage, motherhood, philanthropic work”.
She’ll also discuss “how she is handling life under intense public pressure”.
Meanwhile, Harry, 36, will be the support act in the interview which CBS will broadcast as a primetime special called Oprah with Meghan and Harry, on March 7.
The couple, who moved to the US after quitting the Royal Family and are now expecting another baby, are said to have wanted the final say on Megxit.
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.
“There will be an element of reliving Megxit and airing their grievances.
“No one benefits from that, but Oprah will get it out of them whether they like it or not.”
And Chris Ship, ITV’s royal editor, last week said the interview was likely to be “explosive” as the couple had “washed their hands” of the UK.
While Prince William was said to be “really sad and genuinely shocked” by how his brother reacted to Megxit, sources said the future king was now keen to focus on rebuilding his relationship with Harry.
One source toldThe Times Meghan and Harry’s step-down could help rebuild the brothers’ relationship which has broken down in recent years.
“Over the last few months there have been more and more discussions, normal check-ins, that sort of stuff,” the source said.
“Both of them seem to have been making an effort for some time.”
