As fans of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle know, the couple recently announced they will be sitting down to do a tell-all interview with TV legend Oprah Winfrey. This news is huge as it marks the first time a royal couple is sitting down with a major television host in a candid interview.
However, it seems the queen will be addressing the nation just hours before the interview — news that has upset a lot of people.
The announcement from CBS describes the event as a "wide-ranging" interview. The first part will be a one-on-one with Oprah and Meghan, "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."
The queen plans on addressing the Commonwealth just hours before the highly anticipated interview on March 7.
Notably, Harry and Meghan's last public appearance as working members of the royal family was at the Commonwealth Day Service at Westminster Abbey in 2020, held on March 9.
Queen Elizabeth, Prince Charles, Prince William, Kate Middleton, and Sophie, Countess of Wessex, are all set to make appearances.
The publication went on to say the time slot was decided around three weeks ago.
Needless to say, this is quite a coincidence.
While the royal family double-feature happened purely out of unintentional planning, it does make room for some fan speculation.
"Truth be told, H&M probably scheduled to conflict with the Commonwealth Day broadcast," speculated one critic.
"He doesn’t need to be his [brother's] shadow and they were horrible to Meghan. I mean at first I wanted them there. But not after everything I heard. Seriously just let people live their lives they will be much happier," they concluded.
"Think about that. For me all of them are piece of trash. I am done. H and M are my ride or die," tweeted another.
