Meghan Markle and Prince Harry will be sitting down with Oprah Winfrey for their first public interview since their move out of royal life and to the U.S. The interview will
air on CBS on Sunday, March 7 at 8 p.m.
The interview will feature Meghan talking about "a wide-ranging interview 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 network said in a statement.
Per Deadline, Meghan will speak first with Winfrey, and then the couple will be joined by Prince Harry. As many royal fans will recall, Winfrey was a guest at the Sussex's wedding in May 2018, and she lives near their new home in Montecito, California.
This news comes one day after a spokesperson for the couple confirmed that they are expecting their second child.
"We can confirm that Archie is going to be a big brother. The Duke and Duchess of Sussex are overjoyed to be expecting their second child," the spokesperson wrote on Twitter. The announcement was accompanied by a photo taken by friend and photographer Misan Harriman.

"After changing [Archie's] diaper, I felt a sharp cramp," she wrote. "I dropped to the floor with him in my arms, humming a lullaby to keep us both calm, the cheerful tune a stark contrast to my sense that something was not right. I knew, as I clutched my firstborn child, that I was losing my second...We have learned that when people ask how any of us are doing, and when they really listen to the answer, with an open heart and mind, the load of grief often becomes lighter—for all of us. In being invited to share our pain, together we take the first steps toward healing."
