Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s revealing interview with Oprah Winfrey is “a source of concern” within the royal family – and especially for Prince William, according to a royal insider.
The exclusive session, which will air on CBS next month, brought to mind memories of Princess Diana’s infamous 1995 interview with BBC host Martin Bashir – in which she openly addressed Prince Charles’ affair with Camilla Parker Bowles, the insider told the Post.
Harry and Meghan’s bombshell announcement last year that they were leaving the royal family created a wedge between the two famous brothers, who were reportedly not speaking for months afterwards.
Even a year later, Harry, 36, and William, 38, would not be in regular contact, the insider said.
The source added that the soon-to-air interview with Winfrey brought William’s memories back to Diana by telling Bashir, “Well, there were three of us in this marriage, so it was a bit crowded” – a confession that rocked the royal family.
But confirmation of the Duke and Duchess of Sussex’s 90-minute meeting with Winfrey, which airs on March 7, is hardly a surprise.
“This interview has been an open secret at the palace for months,” the insider said.
This will follow a notable TV interview Meghan, 39, and Harry did in October 2019 with ITV News’ Tom Bradby – in which Harry addressed his strained relationship with his older brother.
“We’re definitely on different paths at the moment but I’ll always be there for him and know he’ll always be there for me,” Harry said at the time. “We don’t see each other as much as we used to because we’re so busy but I like him a lot.
A source told the Post that the couple’s conversation with Winfrey has the potential to turn explosive – as veteran host’s best friend Gayle King stammered Tuesday that “nothing is off limits.”
“Tom had, like, 10 minutes with Harry and Meghan,” the source said. “Oprah has 90 minutes – can you imagine what she’s going to do with that?”
The Sussexes, who moved to Montecito, Calif. After their spectacular separation from the palace and are now expecting their second child, are not being compensated for the upcoming interview, The Post has learned.
A spokesperson for the Oprah Winfrey network has confirmed the couple will not be collecting a paycheck and said no donations are made to their charity.
They see meeting the iconic media maven as a chance to finally “speak their truth,” according to people who know them.
