Prince Harry and Meghan Markle will be having an interview with Oprah Winfrey, which airs on March 7, 2021. CBS reportedly spent more than seven million dollars for the rights to air Oprah Winfrey’s long-awaited interview with Prince Harry and Duchess of Sussex Meghan Markle.
Oprah Winfrey’s highly anticipated two-hour interview with Prince Harry and Meghan Markle is scheduled for Sunday on CBS at 8 p.m. And according to the Wall Street Journal, the rights to air Ms. Winfrey’s interview with Harry and Meghan cost the network a pretty penny as CBS is paying a license fee of between $7 and $9 million.
Ad buyers told WSJ that CBS was seeking about $325,000 for 30 seconds of commercial time in the highly-anticipated interview. This is the couple’s first televised interview since quitting Buckingham Palace last year.
Earlier this week, Meghan Markle was accused of hissing at staffer in 2018 during a royal event in Fiji, an insult that left the employee in tears. Daily Mail’s Rebecca English revealed on Thursday that she was there at the time and witnessed the whole thing.
“I was there at the time and witnessed Meghan turn an ‘hiss’ at a member of her entourage, clearly incandescent with rage about something, and demand to leave,” recalled Rebecca English.
“I later saw that same — female — highly distressed member of staff sitting in an official car, with tears running down her face,” English wrote Thursday. “Our eyes met and she lowered hers, humiliation etched on her features.”
Lawyers for Markle have denied the accusation. Chrissy Teigen also came to to Meghan Markle’s defense in light of what she’s been facing ahead of her and Prince Harry’s interview with Oprah.
