Network 10 has secured the rights to air Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s tell-all interview with Oprah Winfrey in Australia.
Australians can tune in to what’s shaping up to be one of the most explosive interviews in a generation on Monday March 8 at 7:30pm – 7.5 hours after it airs in the United States – or on 10 play.
The blockbuster 2.5 hour interview will premiere in the US on the CBS Television Network – which owns Network 10 – at 8pm local time on Sunday March 7.
The highly-anticipated interview is set to fan tensions between the Duke & Duchess of Sussex and the British Royal Family.
It’s not known how much Network 10 paid to secure rights to the footage, but UK broadcaster ITV is rumoured to be paying more than $1.78M.
Nine Entertainment Co was believed to have had the first crack at running the interview due to its contract with 60 Minutes which aired teasers to the special in the United States.
But the network confirmed to Daily Mail Australia it had not acquired the rights to the TV special which could rival Princess Diana’s shocking BBC Panorama interview in 1995.
Australians will be able catch a glimpse of snippets via Oprah’s official social media accounts in the lead up to Sunday, and across the CBS’s official pages as well.
Oprah has promised viewers there will be ‘shocking’ revelations and ‘no subject off limits’ in the candid discussion with the couple, who have been at odds with the rest of the royals since stepping back from their royal duties last year.
Meghan smiles slightly as Oprah, a close friend, in clear parallels to the way Diana reacted to questioning during her own explosive TV moment: the Panorama interview that aired in November 1995.
