Again, before filming began, CBS announced it would be a 90-minute special.
After conducting the interviews, reportedly over two days, the network has now expanded the program to two hours.
The decision is believed to have been made because of the strength of the couple’s comments, something likely to spark unrest in palace circles.
The Sussexes were not involved in the assembly and had no control over final production.
The decision to extend the term was made by Harpo Productions, Ms. Winfrey’s production company. Of course, the expansion also allows the company to include more ads in the program, making it even more profitable.
Silenced
The suggestion that Meghan has somehow been silenced by the royal family is meant to win sympathy for her assent to this primetime, two-hour, unfettered tete-a-tete.
The couple has been under scrutiny for agreeing to speak with the American chat show queen, despite complaining about media intrusion and unwanted publicity.
The couple are expected to claim they deserve to give their side of the story – despite the ‘relentless’ and ‘inaccurate’ press coverage, no doubt referring to the legal action they have taken against The Mail on Sunday following the publication of Meghan’s letter to her father, Thomas Markle Snr and the controversial story of Harry and the Royal Marines.
The palace will likely look unfavorable at any suggestion that Meghan shouldn’t be able to speak to her.
They will refer to her Grenfell cookbook, the countless speeches she and Harry made during engagements, the Queen who took her under her wing with a ride on the royal train, and Meghan who seemed to dominate the conversation on an outing with the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge. to set out their charity vision in February 2018.
Housekeepers have always made an effort to point out that they were “leaning back” to meet the needs and demands of the Sussex.
