Calls from commentators to delay the broadcast on CBS and ITV were ignored, and Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's interview with Oprah went ahead as planned.
While Prince Philip was hospitalized following a heart procedure, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's Oprah interview aired despite calls for postponement. Philip reportedly found the interview "madness" and believed "no good would come of it," though he encouraged royal interviews with discretion. The Queen released a statement addressing the interview's claims. Prince Harry attended Philip's funeral, maintaining distance from William.
