Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have been nominated for the People’s Choice Awards Pop Special category for their explosive interview with Oprah Winfrey.
Earlier this year, the royal couple sat down with the American TV host for a lengthy two-hour tell-all CBS interview.
The Sussexes, who fled Frogmore Cottage in the UK for California, made several allegations against the Royal Family during their exclusive chat with Oprah.
During the interview, Harry and Meghan alleged that the Firm made racist comments towards their son Archie and said one member of the family expressed “concerns” over the colour of his skin.
The Sussexes also claimed Archie had been denied his “birthright” of being a Prince.

Not only this, but Meghan also said she had suicidal thoughts when pregnant with her first child due to the lack of help available as Royal family member.
The documentary which aired on ITV on March 8, became the main topic of conversation amongst Brits and those over seas and caused several heated debates.
