    Prince Harry Says 'The Crown' Is More Accurate Than Tabloids in Portraying Royal Family

    CBS

    The Duke of Sussex tells James Corden that he is ‘more comfortable’ watching the Netflix drama series than reading ‘news’ about his family in the tabloids.

    Feb 27, 2021
    AceShowbiz – Prince Harry is “more comfortable” watching a fictionalised take on his life in Netflix’s “The Crown” than reading “news” about his family in the tabloids.
    The Duke of Sussex shared his thoughts on the show – which chronicles his mother and father Princess Diana and Prince Charles’ marriage and split in its latest season – as he toured Los Angeles with James Corden in a segment on “The Late Late Show with James Corden” on Thursday night (25Feb21).
    “They don’t pretend to be news,” Harry replied when asked what he made of the programme. “It’s fictional, but it’s loosely based on the truth. Of course, it’s not strictly accurate. It gives you a rough idea of what that lifestyle, what the pressures of putting duty and service above family and everything else, what can come from that.”

    “I’m way more comfortable with The Crown than I am seeing the stories written about my family, or my wife, or myself. It’s the difference between… that is obviously fiction, take it how you will, but this is being reported on as fact because you’re supposedly news. I have a real issue with that.”
    Harry, who is expecting his second child with wife Meghan, the Duchess of Sussex, went on to admit he’d like to see Damian Lewis play him on the small screen when the series features him as an adult.

    Elsewhere in the segment, Harry and James visited the house from TV show “The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air”, and FaceTimed Meghan to see what she thought about putting in an offer on the property.

    Meghan Markle and Prince Harry's Interview With Oprah Winfrey Sparks Bidding War in U.K.

    WENN/Instagram

    The interview between Oprah Winfrey and the Duke and Duchess of Sussex has reportedly sparked a bidding war among U.K. major networks ahead of March 7 airing on CBS.

    Feb 26, 2021
    AceShowbiz – ITV are expected to air Oprah Winfrey’s interview with the Duke and Duchess of Sussex.
    The 67-year-old broadcast legend has landed the couple’s first major chat since they stepped away from the British royal family and there has been a bidding war in Prince Harry’s native U.K. to acquire the rights for the CBS primetime special, which will air in the U.S. on 7 March (21).
    According to Variety, Amazon and Netflix were never in the running, nor were the BBC, leaving ITV to battle it out with Sky.
    And it’s believed the paid-for broadcaster have now dropped out of the bidding war, leaving the terrestrial network as the frontrunners to screen the tell-all interview.

    It is believed Viacom CBS Global Distribution Group, who will sell the programme overseas, would favour a free-to-air broadcaster to boost its platform, but Harry and Meghan are likely to have a final say in where it airs.
    The royal couple previously gave an interview to ITV’s Tom Bradby in the “Harry & Meghan: An African Journey” documentary in 2019 while the network also screen the Royal Variety Performance, an annual entertainment show attended by senior royals.
    The interview is expected to initially focus on the former actress – who is pregnant with her second child, a sibling for 21-month-old Archie – and her life, before her husband joins in with the conversation to talk about their future together.
    A statement from CBS confirming the news of the interview read, “Winfrey will speak with Meghan, The Duchess of Sussex, in a wide-ranging interview, covering everything from stepping into life as a Royal, marriage, motherhood, philanthropic work to how she is handling life under intense public pressure.”
    “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.”

    Meghan Markle Makes First Public Appearance Since Miscarriage on 'CNN Heroes'

    CNN

    The Duchess of Sussex pays tribute to those who have made a difference on ‘CNN Heroes: An All-Star Tribute’, marking her first appearance since miscarriage reveal.

    Dec 15, 2020
    AceShowbiz – Meghan, Britain’s Duchess of Sussex, has made her first appearance since announcing her miscarriage by paying tribute to those who have made a difference during the “CNN Heroes: An All-Star Tribute”.
    The former “Suits” star appeared in a surprise video aired during the special on Sunday night (13Dec20), in which she thanked the “individuals who stood up and made sure the most basic needs of our communities were met.”
    Admitting this year has been “universally challenging for everyone,” Meghan added, “They made sure those around them did not have to suffer in isolation.”
    “We saw the good in people, in our neighbours and in entire communities coming together to say they would not stand by while our neighbours went hungry.”

    Meghan’s video was her first appearance since she revealed she had suffered a miscarriage earlier this summer in a piece written for the New York Times.
    “I lay in a hospital bed, holding my husband’s hand. I felt the clamminess of his palm and kissed his knuckles, wet from both our tears. Staring at the cold white walls, my eyes glazed over. I tried to imagine how we’d heal,” she wrote.
    Meghan and her husband, Prince Harry, are parents to 18-month-old son Archie.
    The Duchess, who urged people to make the discussion of miscarriage less of a taboo subject, received mixed reactions following her miscarriage reveal. British reporter Marco Giannangeli commented, “Is anyone really questioning the pain and sheer awfulness of suffering a miscarriage, or are they perhaps critising Meghan’s decision to write a 1,000 word op-Ed about herself? What does it add to the resources already available for those who go through a tragedy like this?”
    But Meghan was defended by Chrissy Teigen who experienced the tragic loss of her own unborn son at the end of September.
