The CBS broadcast network released two brief
clips from Winfrey's interview of the couple, which is scheduled
to air on March 7. It is the first TV interview the couple,
formally known as the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, have given
since making their homes in California last year.
"My biggest concern was history repeating itself," Harry said,
apparently referring to his mother Princess Diana, who was
hounded by the British press and died at age 36 in a car crash
in Paris after her divorce from Prince Charles.
Harry, 36, was seated next to Meghan, 39, and holding her hand.
The couple announced this month that they are expecting their
second child.
"I'm just really relieved and happy to be sitting her talking to
you with my wife by my side," Harry said. "Because I can't
imagine what it must have been like for her (Diana), going
through this process by herself all those years ago.
"It's been unbelievably tough for the two of us, but at least we
had each other," Harry added.
In the clips, Winfrey said that no subject was off limits and at
one point tells the couple "you have said some pretty shocking
things here," including that their situation had been "almost
unsurvivable."
Before they moved to California, the couple had complained about
the British tabloids' treatment of Meghan, whose father is white
and mother is African-American, some of which they said amounted
to bullying or racism.
Earlier this month, Buckingham Palace announced that the couple
would not be returning to their lives as working members of the
royal family.
