The world is excited to see what Duchess Meghan and Prince Harry will soon talk about with Oprah Winfrey in a major TV interview. A British presenter now reveals: An interview with Meghan's half-sister was requested for the program.
Shortly after Duchess Meghan, 39, and Prince Harry, 36, announced that they were expecting their second child soon, it was announced that the couple will give US talk show host Oprah Winfrey, 67, an "intimate" interview. Among other things, it should revolve around Meghan's entry into life as a royal, her marriage and dealing with life under strong public pressure. It is said that Winfrey can ask Meghan and Harry anything.
Duchess Meghan: what does her half-sister have to do with her interview?
Now the British "This Morning" presenter Holly Willoughby, 40, reveals more exciting details about the interview. Oprah Winfrey's team reportedly requested footage of an interview with Meghan's half-sister Samantha Markle, 56, filmed in early 2020. "Funnily enough, the Oprah team contacted Winfrey 'This Morning' and asked for footage of our interview with Samantha Markle in preparation for the interview with the Duchess of Sussex … So we don't know if they used that in the interview or not, but what we do know is that nothing should be off-limits in this interview. "
In said 2020 interview, Samantha Markle talks about the royal couple and his relationship with Thomas Markle, 76, Meghan's father. It is not yet known whether Winfrey's team needed the conversation to prepare for the show or whether they will confront Meghan with the statements of her half-sister.
Samantha Markle is writing a book about Meghan
Samantha Markle has often spoken about the broken relationship with her half-sister Meghan and publicly attacked her sharply. In February 2021 she published her long-announced book "The Diary of Princess Pushy’s Sister Part 1". Apparently not to upset Meghan and Harry. "I think the royal family will like it and enjoy it. It's not something to make you feel uncomfortable about. I hope you find it warm, funny, honest and sincere," Markle told The Sun.
However, she does not know whether Meghan will like the book. And whether Meghan would like to talk about that family member who has exposed her so often in front of the cameras remains just as uncertain.
The program "Oprah with Meghan and Harry" will air on March 7th at prime time US American time on CBS.
