Speaking on BBC Radio 4’s Today show, royal correspondent Jonny Dymond said: "We wait to see what it will be and what kind of secrets are revealed about the past two or three years.”

Winfrey’s friend Gayle King recently offered an idea of what to expect, telling CBS: “I know [Oprah] has been working on the questions all weekend long.”

“I’m told that nothing is off-limits, nothing is off-limits. She can ask anything she wants,” she continued. “A lot of people wanted this interview. I’m so glad that we got it. I’m very curious.”

Why is Oprah Winfrey interviewing Prince Harry and Meghan Markle?

Winfrey is a close friend of the former Suits actor and was present at the royal wedding in 2018. It’s claimed by royal experts that the TV host, producer and philanthropist has been trying to secure an interview with the pair for a while.

Do the royal family approve of the Oprah Winfrey interview?

Buckingham Palace is yet to comment on the news, and the royal family’s views on the interview are currently unknown.

It’s also unknown whether the pair ran their decision by the Queen – however, as non-working members of the monarchy, they do not have to give the palace notice of their media commitments.

Oprah with Meghan and Harry will be broadcast in the UK on Monday 8 March at 9pm on ITV.
