Oprah Winfrey is reportedly fuming with Prince Harry over his James Corden interview, according to reports.
The 67-year-old iconic talk show host has been eagerly awaiting the world to see the biggest interview of her career after Meghan Markle and Prince Harry agreed to give their first interview to Oprah since stepping down as senior royals.
While touring South Africa, the pair sat down to film and it is believed they opened up on all aspects of their life to her.
However, this week James Corden managed to sweep in and quickly steal Harry for an exclusive before the Oprah chat airs.
During the interview with James, it is said Harry gave away one of Oprah’s most exclusive lines from their chat.

Ever since the couple left the UK to move to California to forge a new life everyone has wanted to know why.
Harry spilled to James that they moved due to their frustrations with the British media – something Oprah was reportedly waiting to reveal.
Sadly for Oprah, who spent millions on the interview it is said, has lost that exclusive line as James beat her to it.

Speaking about how Oprah’s chat could have been devalued by Harry’s reveal, the i Paper’s Late Editor Benjamin Butterworth said: “I think they were desperate to get their story out there.
“Anyone that saw James Corden and Prince Harry on Friday, first of all, Oprah must have been livid that he’d already given the line of why he quit the Royals to James Corden so she’s not got that as an exclusive.”
He went on to claim that the chat would have cost Oprah big time.

He continued: “So she’s wasted a couple of million there but I just find it utterly extraordinary how a couple that are so rich and have had such a high position in life as the Duke and Duchess can manage to make themselves appear so cheap.”
It comes as Princess Diana’s former friend and royal commentator, Richard Kay, said the timing of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s Oprah interview is “insensitive” and “thoughtless” to Prince Philip.
The Queen’s husband was admitted to King Henry VII over two weeks ago, but was moved to another facility, Bartholomew Hospital, on Monday as Harry was seen speaking of how “unbelievably tough” life had been.
Kay slammed Harry for his “implied criticism” of the Royal Family, especially at a time of great worry for Her Majesty and Philip.
Writing for MailOnline, Kay wrote: “His comments, recorded last month, that the couple’s decision to leave Britain for a new life in Los Angeles had been ‘unbelievably tough’ are not new, but the implied criticism of the Royal Family in the melodramatic trailer — at a time when the focus is on Philip — looks both insensitive and thoughtless.
“When someone of the Duke of Edinburgh’s great age — 99 — is in hospital there are always uncertainties.

“Although for so long a man of robust health, his move from the King Edward VII Hospital to Bart’s suggests a concerning escalation in his welfare.
“How much better it would have been to have ensured that no advance publicity for the interview was authorised until the news about Philip had been a little more positive.”
ITV has also won the rights, worth £1million, to broadcast it 24 hours after Oprah does.
