Have Meghan Markle and Prince Harry been paid for their shock interview with Oprah Winfrey?
This Sunday, March 7, the American channel CBS broadcast the long-awaited truth interview granted by Meghan Markle and Prince Harry to Oprah Winfrey. But were the Duke and Duchess of Sussex paid for this interview where they multiplied the explosive revelations on the royal family of England?
A year after leaving the royal family, and with Queen Elizabeth II officially withdrawing their last official functions, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have given Oprah Winfrey a truthful interview. In this explosive interview broadcast Sunday, March 7 on CBS in the United States, and that French viewers will be able to discover this Monday, March 8 on TMC, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex revealed the gloomy underside of the British monarchy and the reasons which ultimately led them to distance themselves from the Crown. The painted image of the royal family is enough to make Buckingham tremble.
Explosive and paid revelations?
Accusations of racism against some members of the royal family who were worried about the color of baby Archie's skin, refusal to grant the title of prince to the little boy despite tradition, tense relations between Meghan Markle and Kate Middleton, quarrel between Harry and William, lack of support from the crown when the Duchess had suicidal thoughts during her first pregnancy: the couple have multiplied the revelations. However, a question arises after this shocking interview. Meghan Markle and Prince Harry, who have won juicy contracts since moving to California, have they been paid for their interview with Oprah Winfrey?
Have Harry and Meghan been paid?
A very lucrative interview: this is how the American press describes the river interview given by the couple. Indeed, according to the Wall Street Journal - which cites sources familiar with the contract - the CBS channel would have paid between 7 and 9 million dollars to the production company of Oprah Winfrey to obtain the rights to broadcast this television interview of two o'clock. But of the millions traded, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex did not touch a dime. As the American host and producer explained at the start of the interview, Meghan Markle and Prince Harry were not paid for their confession. “Before I start, I just want this to be clear to everyone. Even though we are neighbors, there was no agreement between us. You don't know what questions I'm going to ask, there are no forbidden topics and you are not paid for this interview ”clarified Oprah Winfrey. To which Meghan Markle replied: “This is all correct”. The Sussexes therefore did not receive any money for their revelations.
