The countdown is on to Megan Markle and Prince Harry‘s eagerly anticipated interview with Oprah Winfrey.
Set to air Sunday night on CBS, the sit-down will see the popular couple tell their story on their terms.
Of global interest, the interview follows the Duke and Duchess of Sussex formally stepping back as senior royals after receiving intense scrutiny some say was racially charged.
A first-look preview saw Harry liken the treatment to what his mother Diana Princess of Wales endured.
Now, a new preview sees Markle speak up and out.
Full story and clip below…
Winfrey quizzed Markle, asking: “How do you feel about the palace hearing you speak your truth today?”
“I don’t know how they could expect that, after all of this time, we would still just be silent if there is an active role that The Firm is playing in perpetuating falsehoods about us.”
The sneak peek was released after interestingly-timed claims of bullying aimed at Markle by a former royal aide hit the newswire.
A rep for the couple slammed the suggestion, making clear that Markle herself had been subject to bullying :
“The duchess is saddened by this latest attack on her character, particularly as someone who has been the target of bullying herself and is deeply committed to supporting those who have experienced pain and trauma.
She is determined to continue her work building compassion around the world and will keep striving to set an example for doing what is right and doing what is good.”
Oprah with Meghan And Harry: A Primetime Special premieres Sunday, Mar. 7 at 8/7c on CBS.
In the UK, it’ll air a day later on ITV at 8pm.
Suffice to say, this will be a must-see.
Princess Diana was kilt for being in love with Pakistani surgeon Dr Hasnat Khan & for having a fling with Egyptian billionaire Dodi El Fayed. Megan was chased out of England by an angry mob with pitchforks purely because she isn’t an upper middle class white girl born and raised in Kensington. might I remind people about his aunt the vile racist daughter of a Nazi SS officer – Princess Michael of Kent who showed up to Megan’s dinner wearing a racist Blackamore brooch? Im not surprised he left the country, he was fleeing for the safety of his wife! And people have an issue with it why?

This is what having the title and prestige is all about. She married into “The Firm,” which owes its current existence to the charity work and ceremonial functions performed by royal family for the British government. It’s like being Miss America (OR Miss UK) ALL THE TIME.
She’s not getting even half of the scrutiny they put on Princess Diana. She needs to either do the appearances or not; and it appears not, since they are no longer practicing royals.
You are absolutely right.
@Happy – “She’s not getting even half of the scrutiny they put on Princess Diana. ” – I disagree and they have opted NOT to participate in THE FIRM hence the reason why they left the country with their child in tow.
Being royalty does not mean that you should not have the protections of the title. The press were RELENTLESS in their attacks on Megan. As Prince Harry stated he cared about HIS AND HIS WIFE’S MENTAL health which is of the UTMOST of importance.
There is something so sad in all of this. After her family is finally living in peace, she wants to start fire again, just desperately looking for attention, regardless of her husband and son. Why to bring more toxicity to this. She needs mental health help, because she is self destructive
