How can I watch Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's interview with Oprah in the UK?

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle stepped down as senior royals last year, and have since relocated to the US. They have since settled in the quiet seaside town of Montecito, California with their one year old son, Archie Harrison, buying their first home together and spending Christmas across the pond.

They recently shared the happy news that they are expecting their second child in the Spring, but it was the announcement of a tell-all interview with Oprah shortly after that made headlines across the globe.

While they have made several virtual appearances throughout the pandemic, it will be their first sit-down interview since their engagement in 2017.

Meghan will be talking to the chat show host about 'everything from... life as a royal, marriage, motherhood' and life in the spotlight, before being joined by Harry for the remainder of the interview.
