CBS has reportedly paid more than $ 7 million for the rights to broadcast Oprah Winfrey’s highly anticipated tell-all interview with Prince Harry and Duchess of Sussex Meghan Markle.
The two-hour interview, which was to take place at 8pm on Sunday, cost the network a fair amount – probably between $ 7 and $ 9 million, the Wall Street Journal reported.

A spokeswoman for the Sussexes told the Journal that they were not paid for the maintenance.
In an excerpt from the interview teased on Friday on ‘CBS This Morning’, Markle tells Winfrey that she feels ‘liberated’ to speak for herself after having to turn down the TV host’s initial request because she did not ‘allowed’ to talk to her. dan.
