Meghan Markle and Harry may be approached for Oprah top-up interview, expert says

Oprah Winfrey's team may be considering approaching Meghan Markle and Prince Harry for a second "top up" interview, a royal expert has claimed.

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex gave a bombshell interview to Oprah Winfrey which was broadcast in March this year.

In it they made controversial claims against the royal family including an accusation that an unnamed member had made comments asking what the colour of Archie's skin would be.

Speaking on his YouTube channel, royal expert Neil Sean claimed Oprah’s team might be keen to do a second interview where the couple's responses could be explored more.

Mr Sean said the team are keen to understand the truth behind some of the comments made by Harry and Meghan.

This is particularly in light of some of the 'backlash' and 'revelations' that have since come out, the Daily Star reports.

“They’re wondering whether they now need to do a top-up interview,” Mr Sean said.

“But of course Oprah Winfrey is a very powerful mogul in television, and would no doubt like to get a top-up version; their side of the events as to what’s happened over the last six to nine months.

“This has been discussed at great lengths over in the US with CBS TV and Harpo Productions.”

But Mr Sean expressed doubts as to whether this would go ahead as he does not believe Meghan and Harry would agree to it.

An excerpt from the updated version of the couple's unauthorised biography, Finding Freedom, claimed that Harry and Meghan were nervous about sitting down with Oprah but decided they needed to speak up now, or never, according to the Daily Mail.

It reads: "There were so many things they were unable to say [before stepping back from their royal roles]."
