Meghan Markle and Prince Harry reportedly only watched 'parts' of their interview
According to Page Six, Meghan Markle and Prince Harry did not watch their entire tell-all interview with Oprah Winfrey. Sources close to the royal couple revealed that Meghan and Harry "only caught a few snippets at most" of the highly anticipated two-hour-long CBS segment, with one source saying, "I know they won't have watched the full thing."
Oprah also commented on the matter while joining her friend and fellow TV personality Gayle King on CBS This Morning the day after the interview aired. Per Page Six, Oprah said she got a text from the duchess while the segment was airing asking how it was going.
