Enrique from England: "I left because I was afraid that my mother's story would repeat itself"

Communicator Oprah Winfrey has achieved the most sought-after interview, that of the Dukes of Sussex, which is broadcast on CBS on the 7th, a television appearance that has greatly annoyed the British royal family.

In fact, the queen, hours after this special of the US chain was announced, made public that her grandson and his wife were no longer active members of her House.

In the last hours, aware of the interest aroused by the version that the Sussexes give of the events that led them to leave the United Kingdom, Winfrey has issued a preview of the program.

In it, Prince Harry is heard saying that he emigrated to Los Angeles with Meghan Markle and her son because he feared that "history would repeat itself" after the death of his mother, Princess Diana, while Meghan is asked if the family Enrique "silenced her."

In the interview, the couple appears sitting in the garden of their house in Montecito (California) with the presenter.

He wears

casual

clothes

,

she a black suit with white flowers.

Meghan caresses her pregnant belly with one hand and clings to Enrique with the other, in a gesture that is interpreted as support and union in the face of one of the most complicated appearances of her life.

The conversation was recorded for two days and three weeks ago.

In it, the Duke of Sussex says that leaving the royal family was "incredibly difficult."

Also that he is "relieved and happy" to have his wife by his side in an interview in which he describes their life together in the UK as difficult to bear.

'I'm really relieved and happy to be sitting here talking to you with my wife next to me because I can't imagine what this process must have been like for her all those years.

It has been incredibly difficult for both of us, but at least we have each other, ”says the prince.

In the preview, Oprah claims that the couple say "some pretty shocking things" during the interview that are believed to particularly upset the Queen, Prince Charles and Prince William.

Enrique from England in these first scenes assures that he thinks about his mother and how she must have faced the pressure she received alone.

Diana died in 1997 in a car accident in Paris along with her partner at the time, Dodi Fayed.

The princess's children always blamed the paparazzi for her death.

The Duke of Sussex took several years to admit that he could not talk about his mother and that he had to go to psychologists to cope with his pain.

Oprah also tells the camera: "Just to make it clear to everyone, there is no topic that is off limits."

With this, he anticipates that all have been addressed.

Also that the Sussexes plan to increase their popularity in the United States and continue their war with the press.

The advance has been greeted with concern at Buckingham Palace amid fears that the interview is a boundless account of the Sussex feud with the royal family.

This trailer comes days after Henry of England's 17-minute interview with his friend James Corden on the

Late Late

Show

last week.

On that show, the Duke of Sussex said the reason for the move to California last year "It was never a question of running away, it was more to take a step back than to leave."

He added: “It was a really difficult environment, as I think a lot of people could see.

We all know what the British press can be like.

It was destroying my sanity, "he said.

"It's toxic, so I did what any husband or father would have done, which was, 'I have to get my family out of here,' but it was never an escape."

The Duchess of Sussex also made a brief appearance on the show during a FaceTime call.

Ten days ago, the British royal family announced in a statement that the decision made in January 2020 by the Dukes of Sussex to become independent from the royal family, and which they took effect on March 30, was already complete.

However, Prince Henry explained on the show that this does not mean that he is going to run away from who his family has been for the last three decades.

"Regardless of the decisions that are made by that party, I will never walk away," he said.

“I will always contribute.

My life is public service, so wherever I am in the world, that will always remain the same ”.

Palacio has not commented on the interview but on the same day of its broadcast, the BBC will broadcast a special program on the occasion of the celebration of Commonwealth Day where testimonies of Prince Charles, the Dukes of Cambridge and the Queen will appear, who also will send a televised message.
