Shocked Oprah face, followed by intrigued Oprah face—CBS Presents Oprah with Megan and Harry is finally airing in the Middle East.
The interview that has shaken the world, left the UK’s royal family in disarray, and become a meme that somehow isn’t stale nearly a week since its US airing on March 7—a new record for memes—will be airing exclusively on OSN Woman in the region.
The first airing of the conversation, in which Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex detail the alleged racist behaviour they faced from inside the royal family, life under intense public pressure, and their hopes for their future in the United States, will take place on March 17 at 20:00 KSA, 21:00 UAE, and again on March 20 at the same timings.
Meghan also detailed her struggles with her mental health in the special, including contemplating the worst, as well as her failure to get help from other unnamed members of the royal family.
“I just didn’t want to be alive any more. And that was a very clear and real and frightening, constant thought. And I remember how he [Harry] just cradled me,” Meghan told Oprah.
