Are Meghan Markle and Prince Harry really planning a second interview with Oprah Winfrey?
And what could they reveal during a second television special?
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle shocked fans in early 2021 when they sat down for a primetime
tell-all interview with Oprah Winfrey.
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex didn't hold back when it came to sharing details about
their time as senior members of the royal family.
During the interview, Meghan and Harry touched on subjects such as their struggle with mental
health issues, Meghan's complicated relationship with her own family, and the rumored argument
between Meghan and Kate Middleton.
"But she owned it, and she apologized and she brought me flowers and a note apologizing."
Harry and Meghan went on to reveal that they had planned their exit from the royal family
for some time.
They even admitted that the Duke of Sussex had been cut off financially from the institution.
Harry sadly also revealed that his father Prince Charles was so upset by the couple's
royal exit that he stopped taking his son's calls for a period of time.
Harry was candid about the difficulties he'd faced, especially as he was only trying to
do what was best for the wellbeing of his family.
However, one of the most stunning bombshells from the interview came when the Sussexes
claimed that a member of the royal family had made racially insensitive remarks about
their son Archie's skin color.
Since conducting the interview, it's been reported that Meghan and Harry have lost some
of their previous popularity with the public.
It's now being suggested that the couple may have a surprising idea about how to do damage
control with their reputations.
The reaction to Harry and Meghan's interview with Oprah was mixed.
However, many members of the royal family were said to be unhappy about the Duke and
Duchess of Sussex's very public remarks against the firm.
Sources revealed at the time that Prince Charles was allegedly upset about the couple criticizing
the family, and believed that Meghan and Harry should have addressed their concerns privately.
Meanwhile, Harry's older brother Prince William made a very clear public statement about the
allegations of racially insensitive comments regarding Archie, saying at the time,
"We are very much not a racist family."
In addition, Harry's grandmother, Queen Elizabeth II, reportedly had a strong reaction to the
surprising interview.
The monarch was said to be more sad than angry about the couple's bombshell allegations.
An insider allegedly told The Sun,
"She is not angry, she is just sad [...] They have always worried about him (Harry) and
the Queen feels very protective about him.
They all worried less about him when Meghan was on the scene as he seemed so happy."
Now, rumors are flying that Harry and Meghan may actually sit down for a second interview
with Oprah, despite the fallout from the first.
According to OK!
Magazine, the Sussexes may be considering doing a second interview with Oprah to set
the record straight and clear up any rumors about themselves.
The alleged idea to take part in a second interview follows former Vanity Fair editor
Tina Brown's unflattering comments about the Duke and Duchess of Sussex in her new book.
Sources claim that Meghan was particularly upset about the comments, and may be looking
for a way to revamp her image.
An insider told Heat World,
"These latest claims have really gotten under Meghan's skin [...] She's told her team that
something needs to be done.
She's so sick of the negative headlines and she's desperate to come out fighting with
some major damage control."
As a result, Meghan allegedly thinks that returning to primetime might help set the
record straight.
As Heat World's insider claimed,
"Meghan feels as though doing another chat with Oprah is the best way to change the narrative
and counter all the negative claims she's read about herself recently.
She's been in contact with Oprah's people already."
Meanwhile, a recent popularity rating by YouGov revealed that Harry had a popularity rating
of just 32%.
In the poll, he ranked number 11 out of 15 royals, while Meghan was in the 14th spot
with a 24% approval rating.
Royals such as Queen Elizabeth, Prince William, and Kate Middleton all placed much higher
on the list.
Only time will tell if Meghan and Harry decide to do another interview with Oprah.
But if they do, it's safe to say that people will be tuning in to find out what they have
to say the second time around.
