The Duke and Duchess of Sussex will sit down for an interview with Oprah and are expected to talk about their experience as working royals as well as their plans for their future outside the


Firm. The chat will be aired on March 7 in a 90-minute programme titled Oprah With Meghan And Harry: A CBS Primetime Special. Royal biographer Penny Junor has warned the Sussexes should not


expect Oprah to go easy on them as she presses her interviewees for answers. The couple are friends of the host and last year bought an £11 million mansion in Montecito, California, close


to Oprah's Santa Barbara home. Ms Junor told Sky News: "Oprah is a real pro. "She gets very good material, that's why she's the top of her field. "And I cannot


think that she will go softly on these two because they are friends. "Ninety minutes is a long time to be in conversation with someone." Oprah, 67, is among the most well-known TV


hosts in the United States and has been dubbed the "Queen of All Media". Her career in the competitive industry spans more than four decades. READ MORE: MEGHAN AND HARRY PRAISED

"will therefore be returned to Her Majesty, before being redistributed among working members of the Royal Family." A spokesperson for Harry and Meghan said the pair "remain


committed" to serving the organisations they were affiliated with, regardless of officials roles. Harry is due to fly back to the UK in June for the annual Trooping the Colour parade


and Prince Philip's 100th birthday.
