Prince Harry and Meghan Markle nominated for the 2021 Emmy Awards
The Duke of Sussex sneak into the 2021 Emmy Awards thanks to the interview they gave Oprah Winfrey for CBS, which has been nominated in the category of Best Nonfiction Series or Special for the gala to be held on September 19 .
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle sneak into the Emmy 2021. The list of nominees of the Academy of television in the United States for the Emmy awards gala on September 19 left a fight in style between both with 24 nominations. However, a day later, all the spotlight has shifted to the Dukes of Sussex.
The reason is none other than the nomination of Oprah Winfrey's interview with former members of the British royal family on March 7. The conversation revolutionized public opinion with 17.8 million viewers tuning into American CBS for the controversial headlines it left. Four months later, 'Oprah with Meghan and Harry' achieved yet another recognition including the interview in the nominations of the next Emmy in the category of Best Nonfiction Series or Special.
However, the Dukes will not be in the photo in the event that the show wins the statuette, as the nominees are the presenter herself, Oprah Winfrey, and the producers.
A historical interview
The media interview revolutionized the British royal house for its content. Meghan confessed to having been subjected to racism, envy and persecution during the time she belonged to the British monarchy. Among the harshest revelations, the Duchess of Sussex claimed that she had felt "isolated, lonely and unsupported," which is why she considered ending her own life.
At another time, she revealed that there had been concern among the royal family about "how dark Archie's [Harry's expected child] skin would be when he was born" because of Meghan's mixed-race ancestry.
The conversation with Oprah was a real bombshell for the American network, which in its early days brought together almost 50 million viewers on the other side of the screen between television and streaming. The magnitude of the phenomenon was such that CBS reissued the interview a week later. In Spain, Antena 3 exclusively premiered the historic television moment for all its audience in Spain.
