6 of the royal family's most controversial TV appearances

  • Harry and Meghan's sit-down TV interview with Oprah Winfrey will air on March 7.
  • This is the first TV interview the couple will undertake since stepping back as senior royals.
  • Prince Charles, Princess Diana, and Prince Andrew have previously given controversial TV interviews.

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have announced that they will undertake their first sit-down television interview since stepping back as royals with their friend Oprah Winfrey on Sunday, March 7.

Set to air on CBS, the "intimate" Oprah special will see the couple discussing "everything from stepping into life as a royal, marriage, motherhood, philanthropic work to how [Markle] is handling life under intense public pressure," according to a press release received by Insider.

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex's first sit-down interview took place with the BBC in November 2017 after the couple first announced their engagement.

The royal family may abide by the motto "never complain, never explain," but this upcoming interview will not be the first time members of the royal family have shared details of their personal life on screen.

Prince Philip was the first member of the royal family to undertake a television interview in 1961. Prince Charles and Diana followed suit, using interviews to discuss the breakdown of their marriage.

More recently, Prince Andrew agreed to an interview to address his involvement in the Jeffrey Epstein scandal, and Harry and Markle shared their struggles with media attention during a 2019 ITV documentary.
