6 New Things We Learned From Meghan and Harry’s Oprah Interview

Oprah’s highly-anticipated interview with Prince Harry and Meghan Markle is finally here. The two-hour program covered many serious topics, including racism, mental health, and family rifts. Mixed in as well were joyful moments such as the reveal of the sex of their second child and their happiness with their decision to step away as working royals. “He made a decision that saved my life and saved all of us,” Meghan said of Prince Harry’s call to leave England. 

During the interview, Markle is wearing a dress by Armani embellished with a lotus flower, earrings by Canadian brand Birks (which she’s worn numerous times), and a necklace by British designer Pippa Small. She is also wearing a bracelet that belonged to the late Princess Diana because the couple wanted to include her in the interview. How sweet is that?

Don’t overlook the details of her outfit: The lotus is a symbol of rebirth and revival, paralleling the couple’s reemergence in their brand-new post-royal life.  Markle also included jewelry brands from both Canada and Britain, which are the two Commonwealth countries she’s lived in. And lastly, wearing Princess Diana’s bracelet is such a thoughtful and personal gesture. 

In a press release, CBS explained what to expect from the program. “In the two-hour special, Oprah speaks with Meghan, The Duchess of Sussex, in a wide-ranging interview, covering everything from stepping into life as a royal, marriage, motherhood, and philanthropic work, to how she is handling life under intense public pressure,” the statement said. “Later, the two are joined by Prince Harry as they speak about their move to the United States and their future hopes and dreams for their expanding family.”
