Meghan and Harry interviewed by Oprah was the TV event of the year so far — and if you want to know how to watch it online right now, you’ve come to the right place.
The highly-anticipated CBS special featured Prince Harry and Meghan Markle discussing their split from the British royal family. And as talk show queen Oprah Winfrey said about it beforehand, “There is no subject that’s off limits.”
The two-hour special originally aired on Sunday night in the U.S. and has since been shown in virtually every other country in the world. It had its UK broadcast last night on the ITV channel, and is dominating headlines in Harry’s home nation. Weirdly, though, the Meghan & Harry Oprah special is missing from Paramount Plus, though CBS plans to re-broadcast the interview this Friday.
According to the BBC, there have even been “crisis meetings involving senior royals” over the interview, in which Harry and Meghan spoke to Oprah about racism, mental health, the media and other royals.
The Duchess of Sussex confessed that she had had suicidal thoughts during her pregnancy, saying she found life within the British Royal Family so difficult that at times she “didn’t want to be alive anymore.” She also revealed that a royal family member relayed “concerns” about what skin color their son, Archie, would have when he was born.
She also said the royal institution played “an active role … in perpetuating falsehoods about us” and corrected a false headline accusing her of making Kate Middleton cry. Instead, Meghan said it was the opposite — the Duchess of Cambridge induced her to tears in the lead-up to Harry and Meghan’s wedding (she later apologized).

Who are Meghan and Harry?
Not that these two people really need an introduction, but we’ll briefly summarize the situation. Prince Harry is a grandson of Queen Elizabeth II, the younger son of Prince Charles and the late Princess Diana and the brother of Prince William. In 2018, he married former actress Meghan Markle, best known for starring in the legal drama Suits. A year later, they welcomed their first child, Archie.
In early 2020, Harry and Meghan announced they were stepping back from their roles as senior royals, moving out of England and working to become financially independent. Since then, they’ve settled in the Los Angeles area, signed deals with Spotify and Netflix and are now expecting a baby.
Their split from the royal family was recently cemented and Prince Harry went on James Corden’s late night show to talk about the toll that racist, toxic media coverage took on their mental health. One subject that isn’t covered in the pre-taped interview is the Palace’s recent decision to open an investigation into claims that Meghan bullied staff members.
