Highlights
- Harry and Meghan Markle have been intervied by US chat show host Oprah Winfrey
- The couple married in a fairytale wedding in 2018
- Ms Markle has accused the royal family members of peddling lies against them
“It’s been unbelievably tough for the two of us, but at least we have each other,” Prince Harry mentioned, with wife Meghan Markle sitting beside him, in what is touted to be a inform-all interview with US chat show host Oprah Winfrey, immediately after the couple’s acrimonious split with Buckingham Palace final year.
In short clips of the substantially-awaited interview that will be aired this weekend, released by CBS, Harry also apparently referred to the death of his mother, Princess Diana, who was killed in a higher-speed automobile crash in Paris in 1997 as she attempted to escape paparazzi. “My biggest concern was history repeating itself,” Harry, 36, mentioned.
“You know, for me, I’m just really relieved and happy to be sitting here talking to you with my wife by my side. Because I can’t begin to imagine what it must have been like for her (Diana), going through this process by herself all those years ago,” he mentioned as he held his wife’s hand.

The clips have been released quickly immediately after the royal row heated up, with Ms Markle, 39, accusing the British royal family members of peddling lies against herself and her husband. Buckingham Palace had mentioned it was probing claims that she had bullied royal household employees through her time in Britain.
“How do you feel about the palace hearing you speak your truth today?” Oprah Winfrey asks her.
“I don’t know how they could expect that after all this time, we would still just be silent if there is an active role that The Firm is playing in perpetuating falsehoods about us. And if that comes with risk of losing things, I mean, there’s a lot that’s been lost already,” Ms Markle mentioned.
The former “Suits” actor is anticipated to share grievances about her therapy by the monarchy and the media, like allegations of racism.

The couple’s split from the royal family members was created permanent final month, when Queen Elizabeth II, who is Harry’s grandmother, removed their honorary titles and patronages. That followed practically 12 months in which each sides – the palace and the couple – have attempted to handle the narrative of their departure, which has polarised opinion on each sides of the Atlantic.

Buckingham Palace announced final month that the couple had permanently ended royal duties, a year immediately after their shock announcement to “step back” from their roles.
The interview, in which Winfrey tells her guests that “there is no subject that is off limits”, will be aired on Sunday, March 7.
