ROYALS IN TV DUEL WITH PRINCE HARRY

-

Queen Elizabeth and other senior British Royals will appear in a TV program to discuss the importance of the Commonweal­th on the same day Oprah Winfrey’s interview with Prince Harry and his wife Meghan is aired.

For almost 50 years, the Royal family has attended an annual Commonweal­th Day service at Westminste­r Abbey in March, but it has been cancelled this year because of the pandemic. So the 94-year-old monarch, who heads the associatio­n of 54 nations, will deliver a televised message as part of a program entitled A Celebratio­n for Commonweal­th Day.

There will be contributi­ons from heir to the throne

Prince Charles and from the next in line, Prince William, with his wife, Kate.

Harry and Meghan’s much anticipate­d tell-all with Oprah will be their first indepth interview since they moved to the United States.

Winfrey’s coup comes just after the couple has announced that they are expecting a second child and that they will no longer be performing any Royal roles.

The Duke of Cambridge is said to be keen to focus on “purely family matters” now that their work ties have ended — as long as the Sussexes refrain from personal attacks during the Winfrey interview.
