Oprah With Meghan and Harry delivers 1.366m viewers and a win to Ten
Ten’s acquisition of Oprah’s highly-anticipated interview with Meghan Markle and Prince Harry paid off last night, with the two hour special watched by an average audience of 1.366 million across the five capital cities.
Running from 7:30pm to 9:30pm, it was the pair’s first joint interview since they stepped down as senior royals at the start of last year. An impressive 1.78 million people nationally watched the wide-ranging conversation, during which Markle admitted she experienced suicidal thoughts during her time in England, and revealed that a member of the royal family had “concerns” about their son Archie’s skin colour before his birth (Markle is mixed race American).
Before the interview began, Oprah confirmed her questions had not been provided to Markle and Prince Harry in advance, no subjects were off-limits, and they were not being paid.
