Within days of the Duke and Duchess of Sussex’s return from the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee, rumours began circulating on Hollywood gossip forums that a second tell-all interview with Oprah Winfrey was in the works.
And last week, less than a month after the couple’s short and frosty trip to the UK, Harry and Meghan were spotted driving into the talk show maven’s Montecito estate, just a stone’s throw from the Sussexes’ own $20 million mansion overlooking the California coast.

“They’ll need to do interviews around that, and they owe Oprah one after her first interview was picked to pieces,” says a source.
“Oprah’s their friend but she wasn’t happy, and they’ll be keen to make it up to her with some new royal juice from the jubilee, and to promote their own projects. They were probably meeting with her to figure out the plan.”
The first interview was explosive with bombshells including how a royal family member expressed concern over a then-unborn Archie’s skin colour.

Meghan’s friend Janina Gavankar, who spoke in support of the couple following their first bombshell interview, was said to be sitting in the front passenger seat.
“We watched the [Oprah] special together, actually… it is nice to see them feel free,” Janina said at the time on US news show This Morning.
Their first interview was explosive with bombshells, like when Meghan revealed a royal family member expressed concern over a then-unborn Archie’s skin colour.
She also claimed that she entered the new life with Harry “naively” because she “didn’t grow up watching the royal family.”
“I didn’t fully understand what the job was – what was needed of me. There was no way to understand what the day-to-day was.”
