Prince Harry and Meghan, the Duchess of Sussex, sat down with Oprah Winfrey for an exclusive interview airing Sunday on CBS. Harry and Meghan are speaking out about their time in the royal family in their first interview since they ended their royal duties.
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex have been busy ever since. The two have moved with their son Archie to California, they announced earlier this year that Meghan is pregnant with their second child. They have also signed production deals while vowing to continue living a life of public service as private citizens.
But there has been a split with the royal family since they stepped aside. And this week, Buckingham Palace said it is investigating allegations that unnamed staff members accused Meghan of “emotional cruelty and manipulation” after her marriage to Harry in 2018, forcing two aides to quit. The couple considers the public response part of a smear campaign.
“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,” said Meghan in a preview of the conversation. “The Firm” is a common nickname for Britain’s royal family.
