THE DUKE and Duchess of Sussex will reveal life outside the palace in a bombshell interview expected to shock the world.

Oprah With Meghan And Harry: A CBS Primetime Special, is a two-hour interview with the pair. It is the first since their BBC interview following their engagement three years ago.

While the full contents of the interviews have been kept a closely guarded secret, CBS has released several teaser trailers on social media.

One clip showed Meghan telling Oprah Winfrey that said she could not be expected to stay silent if the royal family played a part in “perpetuating falsehoods” about her and Harry.

It follows an ongoing row between the Duchess and the palace over claims she bullied former royal staff.

What time is the special and how can I watch it?

The show will premiere on American television network CBS News on Sunday March 7 at 8pm Eastern Time - around 1am in the UK.

ITV will then broadcast the interview the following day, on Monday March 8 at 8pm.

The deal with ITV is said to have cost around £1 million.

What we know so far

The couple’s interview with the US television host is expected to lift the lid on their short period as working royals before they stepped down for a life in America.

In the 30-second clip released on social media, Winfrey asks the duchess: “How do you feel about the Palace hearing you speak your truth today?”

She replies: “I don’t know how they could expect that, after all of this time, we would still just be silent if there is an active role that The Firm is playing in perpetuating falsehoods about us.

“And, if that comes with risk of losing things, I mean, I … there is a lot that has been lost already.”

The Firm is widely considered to be shorthand for the institution of the royal family.

It came as Buckingham Palace said it had launched an investigation into claims that the duchess bullied former royal staff.

Past and present employees are to be invited to speak in confidence about their experiences of working for Meghan, after it was alleged she drove out two personal assistants and that staff were “humiliated” on several occasions.

The Times newspaper has reported that the duchess “destroyed” one member of staff and another was left in tears before she departed.
