The much-anticipated Oprah Winfrey TV special with Harry and Meghan will air in the United States on 7 March. In the teaser clips of the interview, Harry draws a parallel between the treatment his mother, Princess Diana, received and also his wife, Meghan Markle. He made a bold statement when he said he feared he saw a repetition of history. That was before he and Meghan decided to step back as senior royals. Winfrey asked Meghan a couple of pointed questions, but she preferred to remain silent. There is no confirmation on when audiences in the UK can see the program.
The BBC says Meghan is believed to have talked about issues like marriage, motherhood, and life as a royal. She also mentioned about how she handled "intense public pressure." As to Harry, he had once said he's stepping back from royal duties was to ensure protection for himself and his family. This was important because of the press. His late mother, Diana, Princess of Wales, had relinquished her royal title during her divorce from the Prince of Wales in August 1996. She lost her life the next year in a car crash in Paris. Paparazzi on motorbikes were following the car when the accident happened. In October 2019, Harry admitted the paparazzi reminds him of the death of his mother, Princess Diana.
