In her Oprah interview, Meghan Markle has admitted she feels “liberated” since stepping back from royal life.
Another sneak peek of the tell-all chat has been released by American network CBS ahead of its airing this weekend.
In the minute-long clip, Oprah reveals she once approached the Duchess of Sussex for an interview in 2018, before her wedding to Prince Harry.

She tells Oprah in the clip: “I wasn’t even allowed to have that conversation with you personally.
“There had to be people sitting there.”
Oprah adds: “You turned me down nicely and said, ‘Perhaps they’ll be another time, when there’s the right time.’
“What is right about this time?”
Meghan replies: “Well so many things.
“That we’re on the other side of a lot of life experience that’s happened and also that we have the ability to make our own choices in a way I couldn’t have said yes to you then.
“That wasn’t my choice to make.”
She continues: “So as an adult who lived a really independent life to then go into this construct that is different than I think what people imagine it to be…
“…it’s really liberating to be able to have the right and privilege in some ways to be able to say, ‘yes, I’m ready to talk.’
“To be able to just make a choice on your own and speak for yourself.”
