MEGHAN MARKLE and Prince Harry’s much-anticipated interview with Oprah Winfrey was reportedly in the planning for two years, sources have claimed.

Meghan Markle, 39, and Prince Harry’s, 36, tell-all interview with US chat show icon Oprah Winfrey is due to air this weekend and has royal fans chomping at the bit.

But while news of the sitdown rocked the Palace earlier this month, as the Sussexes agreed to it without informing the Queen, the interview was reportedly in the planning for two years, insiders have claimed.

The interview is said to have come about after Meghan originally tried to arrange a televised talk with CBS anchor and friend Gayle King following the birth of her son Archie Harrison in May 2019, sources told DailyMail.com.

But the TV sitdown was overruled by the Palace press team at the time over fears “it would alienate the UK press”, one insider claimed.

According to one source, Ms King and Oprah have been in talks over an interview with the Sussexes ever since, eventually leading to the 90-minute interview due to air on CBS this Sunday.

After Ms King’s initial interview plan was reportedly rejected by the Palace, the US journalist was invited to the first photoshoot of Harry and Meghan with newborn baby Archie at St. George’s Hall in Windsor.

The Palace insider claimed after her interview was denied by royal staff, “Meghan put her foot down” so Ms King would be invited to the photoshoot
