Prince Harry and Meghan Markle might never be able to repair their relationship with the royal family, Lorraine Kelly has said.

In a recent sneak peek of the chat, Meghan suggested “The Firm” had “perpetuated falsehoods” about herself and Harry.

Meanwhile, Lorraine claimed that “when you attack The Firm you are essentially attacking the Queen”, which she said is “crossing a line”.

However, the star said she hopes the couple will “take the opportunity to express their admiration for the Queen” at a time when Prince Philip is in hospital.

In addition, she added that their interview could “backfire” and they will “live to regret trying to settle scores and burning down all those royal bridges”.

The tell-all interview will air in the UK on ITV on Monday, March 8.

Meanwhile, from a few preview clips, it seems nothing is off limits in the chat.

“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.”

Oprah with Meghan and Harry will air on ITV, Monday, March 8, at 9pm.
