The Duke and Duchess of Sussex’s tell-all interview with the US chat show host airs next Sunday. But royal biographer Hugo Vickers warned it is “all about their self-promotion”.

Mr Vickers told the Mail on Sunday: “I imagine the Duke and Duchess of Sussex will just have one long whinge to Oprah Winfrey.

“It’s all about their self-promotion.”

Former actress Meghan will open up to Winfrey about royal life before she is joined by her husband to discuss their move to America and future plans.

US television network CBS said in a statement: “Winfrey will speak with Meghan, the Duchess of Sussex, in a wide-ranging interview, covering everything from stepping into life as a royal, marriage, motherhood, philanthropic work to how she is handling life under intense public pressure.

“Later, the two are joined by Prince Harry as they speak about their move to the US and their future hopes and dreams for their expanding family.”

Winfrey attended the Sussexes’ royal wedding back in 2018.

She reportedly met Meghan just once before the big day.

Buckingham Palace is likely to be bracing for the interview after Harry opened up about Megxit to TV host James Cordon during an appearance on The Late Late Show.

The show – which saw the Duke take an open-top bus tour of Los Angeles and rap the theme song from The Fresh Prince Of Bel-Air – clashed with a rare message by the Queen urging the nation to have the coronavirus vaccine.

On Megxit, Harry told his friend Cordon: “It was never walking away.

“It was stepping back rather than stepping down.

“It was a really difficult environment, as I think a lot of people saw.

“We all know what the British press can be like, and it was destroying my mental health.

“I was like ‘this is toxic’.”

Harry added: “So I did what any husband and what any father would do – I needed to get my family out of here.

“But we never walked away and as far as I’m concerned, whatever decisions are made on that side, I will never walk away.

“I will always be contributing, my life is public service, so wherever I am in the world it is going to be the same thing.”

Meghan, 39, and Harry, 36, quit royal duties in March 2020.

It was confirmed earlier this month that their departure will be permanent.

The couple, who are expecting their second child, are living in a mansion in California with their young son Archie.
