An Oprah Winfrey interview with Prince Harry and Meghan Markle was always considered "the ultimate Royal nightmare"

The Daily Beast

"Warning signs are flashing that Meghan Markle and Prince Harry’s interview with Oprah Winfrey may involve the casting of several royal personages under one’s bus," says Tom Sykes, The Daily Beast's Royal correspondent, says of CBS' primetime special airing March 7. "Courtiers and other royal hangers-on are said to have lived in fear of an Oprah interview ever since Winfrey was seated in pride of place at Meghan and Harry’s 2018 wedding, and now many believe their worst nightmares are coming true. British newspapers this weekend were full of stories in which sources advised the royals to 'hide behind the sofa' when the show screened, and now sources in Meghan’s camp appear to have briefed E! News that the couple will open up about the 'tension' within the royal family in the 'very candid' interview and that they will be 'speaking their truth' during the highly anticipated CBS special on March 7. We think this means: yes, they are going to be dishing, just in a totally authentic way. Meghan’s camp is believed to have good contacts with E! due to both her previous career as an actress and her current role as a producer at Netflix, so their reports of what is in the interview should be taken seriously."
