Meghan and Harry’s Oprah interview

CBS’ statement about the show says:

Winfrey will speak with Meghan, The Duchess of Sussex, in a wide-ranging interview, covering everything from stepping into life as a royal, marriage, motherhood, philanthropic work to how she is handling life under intense public pressure.

Harry, who also appeared in an interview with James Corden last week, will join Meghan and Oprah for the last part of the interview, in which they will discuss ‘their move to the United States and their future hopes and dreams for their expanding family.’ The couple recently announced that they are expecting their second child together later this year.

In teaser clips already released by CBS, Harry discusses his fears of ‘history repeating itself,’ and says:

I can't begin to imagine what it must have been like for her [Diana] going through this process by herself all those years ago. Because it has been unbelievably tough for the two of us, but at least we have each other.
