According to reports in the UK, CBS paid Oprah Winfrey between $ 7 million and $ 9 million for the rights to broadcast the interview, according to sources involved in the agreement.
Many topics will be on the agenda in an interview with Opera, including Merkel’s parenting and second pregnancy, the couple’s philanthropic endeavors, living in the royal family and the move of the Duke and Duchess of Sussex to California. According to one of the teasers, Harry will also talk about his mother, Princess Diana.

In one of the excerpts released from that sensational interview Megan reveals that the reason she and Prince Harry agreed to be interviewed also stems from the fact that they now have the ability to choose for themselves.
In another teaser Winfrey revealed that she had already offered to interview Merkel, just before the royal wedding in 2018. According to Opera, the request was denied because it “was not the right time”. Megan stated that she remembers that conversation very well. “I was not even allowed to speak to you in person,” she said.
The egg is also in turmoil following the interview, even before it aired: Patrick J. Adams, who starred alongside Merkel in the series Suits, called her on Twitter “an enthusiastic, kind, cooperative, happy and supportive person” and spoke out against allegations that she dealt with bullying.
Actually, what ‘OBSCENE’ is your friend trashing her husband’s family on global TV as the Queen’s 99-yr-old husband lies in hospital. How dare you attack our Royal Family like this, you jumped-up little twerp. https://t.co/pYUuCLje3w
