It has also been claimed that the ITV broadcast will still go ahead on Monday night, despite the fact Harry's grandfather, Prince Philip has undergone heart surgery in hospital just months before his 100th birthday.

A frank and honest interview 

There has been much speculation about what the couple will talk about since the first trailers were released by US network CBS.

It seems the chat will be open and honest with Oprah revealing in the trailer: "I just want to make it clear to everybody, there is no subject off-limits"

ITV has confirmed that Oprah will talk to Meghan about a wide range of subjects including stepping into life as a Royal, marriage, motherhood and her philanthropic work.

She is also expected to open up about how she is handling life under intense public pressure.
