Meghan, Harry to give their side on royal split

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex will finally get the chance to tell the story behind their departure from royal duties directly to the public on Sunday, when their two-hour interview with Oprah Winfrey is broadcast.

Critics are already deriding it as a brand-building exercise by the pair, who have been accused of using their royal status to open doors and make money.

A book, “Finding Freedom,” alleges that senior royals had little respect for Meghan, a biracial former actor, and that courtiers treated her badly.

Pre released clips have already shown Harry talking about his fears that history would repeat itself after his mother, Princess Diana, died in a car crash while pursued by paparazzi. In another clip from the interview, Winfrey asks Meghan how she feels about the palace “hearing you speak your truth” in the interview.

“I don’t know how they could expect that, after all of this time, we would still just be silent if there was an active role that the firm is playing in perpetuating falsehoods about us,” the duchess replies. “The firm” is a nickname for the royal family.
