CBS paid at least $ 7 million for Oprah’s interview with Meghan Markle and Prince Harry

According to the Wall Street Journal, CBS would pay $ 7 to $ 9 million to air the highly anticipated interview of Meghan Markle and Prince Harry with Oprah Winfrey. The agreement, with the Winfrey’s Harpo Productions it also includes the rights to broadcast the special overseas, while Meghan and Harry weren’t paid by CBS to take part in the interview.

In the last teaser clip of the interview – which will air on CBS Sunday, March 7 at 8:00 pm US time (Eastern time, or our 2 am on Monday 8) – Meghan said that Winfrey had already contacted her to have an interview before the wedding, in 2018, but that she had turned down, “I couldn’t have said yes then, it was not my choice,” she said.

While now things have changed: “We are far from many of the life experiences that have happened, and now we have the ability to make our own choices in a certain way,” he said. “So, as an adult who has lived a truly independent life and then stepped into this construct that is different from what people imagine it to be, it is truly liberating to have the right and privilege to be able to say yes. I am ready to speak».

The war now seems open between Meghan Markle and the Crown. While the former American actress suggests that their interview is almost necessary given the “falsehoods” that the British crown perpetuates on the couple, Buckingham Palace has announced that it will open an investigation into the bullying allegations against Meghan by his assistants, while the Queen Elizabeth – who confirmed that he will not watch the interview – he announced who will address the nation during the televised event to celebrate Commonwealth Day, which will air on BBC One on Sunday at 5pm, just hours before Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s interview with Oprah Winfrey airs in the United States.
