Reports that Meghan Markle has plans for a television interview with Ellen DeGeneres have been dismissed by royal sources.
A source at the Ellen Show is said to have claimed that the Duchess of Sussex wanted to give her first sit-down chat to the famed US presenter, after they met by chance at an LA dog kennel years ago.
The source reportedly told the MailOnline: “Ellen and Meghan have already discussed a sit-down interview. That's been in the works for quite some time now.”
Another source reportedly said the interview would be “hush-hush” and in a “secret location”.
However, royal sources say that no such interview has been arranged between the Duchess of Sussex and DeGeneres, labelling her reported plans as "catastrophically untrue".
It follows the duke and duchess stepping back from royal duties to start a new life in North America.
Over the summer, DeGeneres and her wife Portia de Rossi went to see Prince Harry, Meghan and their son Archie when they visited London.
Meghan is also good friends with US TV host Oprah Winfrey, who said earlier this week that she backs Meghan "1,000%" over the decision to step down as senior royals.
She and Prince Harry have been staying at a £10.7m mansion in Vancouver since vacating the UK.
Last week they were stripped of their HRH titles following a crisis summit at Sandringham.
Earlier today it emerged that their bid trademark the Sussex Royal brand has been blocked by an Australian doctor who complained to the Intellectual Property Office.
