In the dramatic first look, Harry speaks out about his fear that Meghan could have faced a similar fate to Princess Diana.
The Trailer for Oprah's Interview With Meghan and Harry Is Bone-Chilling
The vibe of Oprah's upcoming tell-all interview with Meghan Markle and Prince Harry seems to be a combination of a Real Housewives reunion, the Olympic games, and an Oscar-bait blockbuster.
In a teaser trailer released one week ahead of the interview, the couple's first major sit-down since their dramatic break with the royal family, it's clear this will be far from a happy-family palace PR moment. The music in the trailer is that of a climactic action scene in a war movie—you expect to see either a field strewn with human carcass, or at least a reality TV star making eye contact with someone. It contrasts with the idyllic backdrop of the couple's sprawling Montecito home, which resembles Lindsay Lohan's dad's backyard in The Parent Trap. Meghan and Harry, the trailer suggests, will reveal to Oprah the pain and suffering behind their apparently shiny lives. Who, in all honesty, could resist her?

Both Markle and her husband are clearly emotional—tears pool in Markle's eyes, though we don't hear her speak in the short clip. But Harry, groomed to be a public face of the crown his entire life, is remarkably outspoken.
“I can't begin to imagine what it must have been like for her going through this process by herself all those years ago," he says, apparently referring to his mother, Princess Diana. "Because it has been unbelievably tough for the two of us, but at least we have each other.” In another clip he adds, also apparently referring to his mother, “My biggest concern was history repeating itself.”
https://twitter.com/scobie/status/1366183961215565827CBS has said that the interview, which was originally intended to be ninety minutes, has been expanded to two hours to include the entire conversation. And CBS' Gayle King, a reporter and longtime best friend to Oprah, has said that Oprah considers this “the best interview she's ever done.”
It's clear that this will be an unprecedentedly personal interview. We'll see you back here on Sunday, March 7 with wine and tissues.
