Where Was Prince Harry & Meghan Markle's Interview with Oprah Taped?

The location for Prince Harry and Meghan Markle‘s tell-all interview with Oprah Winfrey has been revealed.

Many speculated that the highly-anticipated interview was filmed at the couple’s home in Santa Barbara, Calif, which they purchased back in July for a reported $14.5 million.

Others thought that the interview was filmed at Oprah‘s home, as she lives close to Meghan and Harry.

However, the Daily Mirror has confirmed that the interview was actually filmed at the California home of Gayle King.

Gayle‘s home makes sense for the interview, due to it’s secluded and nature-filled backyard along with her close ties with Oprah and Meghan.

As many know, Gayle and Oprah have been friends for decades, and she has been a close friend to Meghan. She attended Meghan‘s baby shower in New York City back in 2019.

Gayle is also a news anchor for CBS, which is the station airing Meghan and Harry‘s interview with Oprah.

Before it’s airing, Gayle chatted about the interview, but didn’t say it was filmed at her house.

“They taped at a friend’s home,” Gayle shared on CBS’ This Morning. “People said it was at Oprah’s house or Harry and Meghan’s, [but] it was at a friend’s home.”

Oprah with Meghan and Harry will air tonight from 8pm-10pm ET on CBS – you can check out our full coverage of the interview here.

Sarah Ferguson's 1996 Interview With Oprah Winfrey Goes Viral Ahead of Meghan Markle & Prince Harry Special

As the world awaits Meghan Markle and Prince Harry‘s interview with Oprah Winfrey, many people are remembering another royal interview with Oprah.

Back in 1996, Sarah Ferguson, the Duchess of York, sat down with Oprah to discuss marrying into the royal family, and everything that came with the territory.

Sarah opened up about what it was like to live in Buckingham Palace, why the late Princess Diana was the perfect princess, and how the British media is “cruel” and “invasive.”

“I must explain that the British press at the moment is completely and utterly cruel and abusive and so invasive. It is very cruel and very painful when you are going to try and find the feelings within to be on such a public stage,” she explained.

When asked by Oprah why she didn’t just continue to “play the game,” she said: “You could do that, and if that’s what suits you, then that’s what suits you.”

“But Diana and I are like rivers, we want to learn more, we want to go around the corner, we are hungry for more.”

She also discussed all the Buckingham Palace rules.

“The palace from when you look at it from the outside, the windows have to be open in only a certain amount so they are all in line, and I’d come in and throw open all the windows,” she said. “And no, that was wrong.”

Here’s how to watch Harry and Meghan‘s interview airing later tonight (March 7).

Meghan Markle recently explained why she decided to speak out now, and is also accusing the royal family of something big.

Prince Harry & Meghan Markle May Lose Their Royal Titles After the Oprah Winfrey Interview

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle reportedly have something to lose after their Oprah Winfrey interview.

The couple risks losing their royal titles as Duke and Duchess of Sussex for breaking their “Megxit deal” with the upcoming interview set to air later tonight (March 7), Page Six reported.

Royal courtiers met last week to discuss the idea of stripping the couple of their titles and tearing up the “Sandringham summit” agreement made a year ago involving their exit from life as senior royals,” sources told The Times of London.

“I don’t think that after this interview, anything is off the table, to be honest,” one source told the outlet.

However, another source close to the queen who confirmed Palace discussions over the upcoming TV chat insisted that “the titles are not up for debate.”

“The response will depend very much on if they go after the institution or the people” in the royal family, another source suggested. Here’s what the Queen is reportedly preparing to do involving watching the interview.

Here is how to watch the interview, airing later tonight.

It was revealed that Oprah asked Meghan for an interview in 2018, ahead of her and Harry’s wedding.

There had to be people from the — sitting there, there were other people in the room when I was having that conversation,” she said before explaining why this was the right time to speak.

“Well, so many things. That we’re on the other side of a lot of — a lot of life experience that’s happened, and also that we have the ability to make our own choices in a way that I couldn’t have said yes to you then. That wasn’t my choice to make.”

“As an adult who lived a really independent life to then go into this construct that is different than I think what people expect it to be, it’s really liberating to be able to have the right and the privilege in some ways to be able to say yes, I’m ready to talk,” Meghan said.

What's 'The Firm'? Why Meghan Markle Uses the Phrase in Oprah Winfrey Interview

In her tell-all, sit down interview with Oprah Winfrey, Meghan Markle uses the phrase “The Firm” and you may be wondering what that even means.

“There is an active role that the Firm is playing in perpetuating falsehoods about us,” Meghan alleged about the royal family during one newly released clip from the interview, airing on Sunday (March 7).

Royal biographer Penny Junor described the term the best in her book, “The Firm: The Troubled Life of the House of Windsor.” Basically, the phrase was coined by Prince Philip to describe the royal family and their business.

A blurb from Penny‘s book reads, “However you look at it, the royal family is a big business, though one with more ups and downs than the stock market. Prince Philip calls it ‘The Firm,’ and all the royal executives and their powerful associates are supposed to make every effort to avoid even a hint of scandal that could diminish the reputation of the family business.” Meghan actually alleged that “The Firm” is keeping negative stories about them in the media.

This past week, two new stories about Meghan Markle emerged, one with allegations of bullying towards her staffers while she was part of the royal family. Buckingham Palace released a statement about these allegations and launched an investigation. Twitter has been reacting to these new stories that were released just days before the sit-down interview.

Oprah with Meghan And Harry: A Primetime Special will air on Sunday (March 7) from 8-10pm ET on CBS.
