Harry said he “can’t imagine what it must have been like” for Diana to have a similar experience, in one of the two videos released from the program.
The discussion marks the first interview the couple have given together since they retired as working members of the royal family last year.
“I’m just really relieved and happy to be sitting here talking to you with my wife by my side,” said Harry in the clip. “Because I can’t imagine what it must have been like for her to go through this process alone all those years ago.”
“It was incredibly difficult for the two of us, but at least we had each other,” he said, sitting next to Meghan in an outdoor set.
In another clip, Harry added that his “main concern was that history was repeating itself,” seemingly another reference to his mother’s experience.
The clips also show Winfrey asking Meghan and Harry a series of questions, although their answers are not seen. At one point, the interviewer tells the couple that there is “no topic that’s off limits” in the discussion, and later she says “you said some pretty shocking things here.”
“Were you silent, or were you silenced?” Winfrey asks Meghan at another point in the promo, who promptly distances himself from the Duchess’s answer. Meghan is not heard in any of the promotional clips.
The interview will air on March 7 and is expected to cover a number of topics, including the support Meghan received from the royals.
Harry and Meghan have not participated in media engagements in the year since they parted ways with the royal family, a move that sparked a crisis at Buckingham Palace in early 2020.
“We all know what the British press can look like, and it destroyed my sanity,” said Harry during the segment with Corden. “I was like, this is toxic. So I did what any husband and what any father would do.”
