Where in Australia can I watch Prince Harry and Meghan's interview with Oprah?
The upcoming interview that Prince Harry and Meghan Markle will have with Oprah Winfrey is already garnering a lot of attention, and royal watchers are getting ready for some excitement.
The interview was broadcast in Australia just now:
Here is all the information you need to know about how to watch it in Australia, as well as Oprah's unexpected continuation of the tell-all series.
Where can I find it to watch in Australia?
Tonight at 7:30 p.m., a special presentation of Oprah with Meghan and Harry that was filmed for CBS Primetime will air on Channel 10.
You will also be able to watch it on the digital platform possessed by Channel 10, known as 10 play.
The interview was broadcast on CBS in the United States at 8:00 pm Eastern Time, which was 1:00 am in London and midday in Australia and New Zealand.
It is likely that there will be a lot of discussion about it on social media, and you will need to scroll through a lot of "hot takes" from royal commentators before you can actually watch it.
Today, at 4:00am AEDT, the Queen's Commonwealth Message has already been broadcast on ABC TV and ABC News 24, respectively.
What do we already have knowledge of?
During the interview, we will be hearing more from Meghan than from Prince Harry; however, they have already disclosed one significant piece of information, which is that they will be having a daughter with their second child.
It is also common knowledge that someone in the Palace was curious about the shade of Archie's skin when he was an adult.
The couple's first child is a boy named Archie.
Additionally, Meghan stated that she was taken aback when she was informed that Archie would not be a prince and would not be provided with palace protection.
"They didn't want him to be a prince or princess, not knowing what the gender would be, which would be different from protocol, and that he wasn't going to receive security," she said. "They didn't want him to be a prince or princess."
The duchess also disclosed how unhappy she was during her brief tenure as a member of the royal family.
The following is how CBS talked about the interview:
"Winfrey will speak with Meghan... covering everything from stepping into life as a royal, marriage, motherhood, and philanthropic work, to how she is handling life under intense public pressure," the statement read.
Later on, Prince Harry joins Meghan Markle and Prince Harry as they discuss their plans to relocate to the United States, as well as their future expectations and goals for their growing family. "
According to Winfrey, "no subject that's off limits" will be discussed in the interview.
A segment featuring the two of them in which they discuss Oprah Winfrey's request that Meghan Markle grant her an interview before her wedding was broadcast on CBS This Morning on Friday.
The duchess told Winfrey in 2018 that "it's not the right time" for their engagement.
However, Meghan noted that "so many things" had evolved since that time.
On January 1 of this year, Harry and Meghan Markle made the announcement on social media that they were stepping down from their positions as senior Royals; the formalization of the couple's resignation as working Royals took place just a month ago.
"We [now] have the ability to make our own choices in a way that I couldn't have said yes to you then — that wasn't my choice to make," Meghan said. "We [now] have the ability to make our own choices in a way that I couldn't have said yes to you then."
"Consequently, as an adult who has led a really autonomous life up until this point, to then go into this construct that is distinct from what I believe the majority of people picture it to be. To be able to have the right and the privilege, in some ways, to be able to say "yes, I'm ready to talk" is a really empowering position to be in. It's really liberating.
"To be able to choose for oneself and simply to be able to speak for oneself," "
A couple of days ago, another clip from the preview was released in which the duchess was questioned about how she felt about the palace hearing her speak out.
She responded by saying, "I don't know how they could expect that after all of this time we would still just be silent if there's an active role that The Firm is playing in perpetuating falsehoods about us." "I don't know how they could expect that after all of this time we would still just be silent if there's an active role that The Firm is
"And if doing so exposes you to the possibility of losing things..." I mean, a significant amount of stuff has already been misplaced. "
Why Oprah
It's possible that Meghan and Prince Harry's tumultuous history with the tabloid press in the UK contributed to their reluctance to give an interview to the British media in which they spilled the beans about their relationship.
Omid Scobie, co-author of Finding Freedom, told Slate that Winfrey is very much outside the British media bubble, which probably sparked fear in the Royal household. Winfrey is very much outside the British media bubble.
"The couple sat down with someone in an uncontrolled environment that the Royal family has no influence over, and there's nothing they can do to stop the interview from airing," he said. "There's nothing the Royal family can do to stop the interview from airing."
According to a report in a British newspaper called The Mirror, Queen Elizabeth II and Buckingham Palace "do not have an advance copy" of the interview.
Additionally, Winfrey is a friend to both of them.
She was a guest at their wedding and has openly supported the couple's decision to forgo a royal lifestyle after they have tied the knot.
Winfrey said in an interview with TMZ the previous year, "I support them 1,000%."
"[Prince Harry] did what he needed to do for his family," which is equivalent to saying that "
It's making big bucks for some
The licensing fee that the American television network CBS is required to pay ranges between and $11 million ( and $US7 million). According to a report from the Wall Street Journal, it cost seven million dollars (US million) to air the interview.
According to the newspaper, Winfrey's media company, Harpo Productions, also approached NBC and Disney about conducting the interview.
According to recent reports, CBS is asking for $US325,000 ($422,000) for 30-second commercial spots during their broadcasts.
On the other hand, it does not appear that the Sussexes are doing this for the financial gain.
According to a statement made to the Wall Street Journal by a spokeswoman for Prince Harry and Meghan, the couple will not be receiving payment for the interview.
It's all about the timing.
Some media outlets have interpreted the fact that the Commonwealth Day celebrations took the form of a TV special that aired a few hours before the Oprah interview as a less-than-coincidental clash between the two events, with some questioning whether the clash was an intentional attempt by the palace to overshadow the other event.
On the other hand, Her Majesty the Queen has a longstanding tradition of marking Commonwealth Day with a speech of some description.
According to Vanity Fair, the date for the broadcast was decided upon weeks before word of the Oprah special got out, and Buckingham Palace was reportedly "blindsided" by the announcement.
But the announcement that Prince Harry and Meghan had been stripped of their royal patronages added fuel to the fire. This came after the couple had confirmed to the Queen that they would not be returning as working Royals.
Then, a report appeared in The Times newspaper stating that during her time spent living at Kensington Palace with Prince Harry, Meghan had been the target of a bullying complaint made by a trusted adviser.
As a response, Buckingham Palace issued a statement stating that it would be opening an investigation into the allegations.
People are reading a lot into the timing of this investigation as an attempt to discredit Meghan before the interview, but there is no evidence to support this.
On the other hand, one could argue that the scheduling of the interview by CBS so that it will air one year after the couple has participated in their final official Royal engagement is simply sensible from an editorial perspective.
It neatly wraps up everything, but the fact that it's a trivial conflict adds a touch of drama that's certainly generating a lot of interest.
