Prince Harry, Meghan Markle face growing outrage over Oprah interview

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle faced mounting criticism Thursday as their tell-all TV special with Oprah Winfrey was set to still air even as Prince Philip recovers from a heart operation, according to a report.

British politicians have joined royal watchers in complaining about Sunday’s potentially explosive and damaging interview being aired while Queen Elizabeth II’s 99-year-old husband is in a London hospital.

Despite the growing outrage, sources close to the Duke and Duchess of Sussex told the Mail that it is up to CBS to delay the episode, which is set to air in the US Sunday night.

“It is ultimately up to CBS, we’re not involved in that side of things,” the source insisted to the outlet.

“As it stands, I don’t think there is any intention from the program maker to change its air date,” the source said.

Tory Member of Parliament (MP) Bob Blackman told the outlet the interview is simply “inappropriate.”

“To be doing a tell-all interview screened in the UK when he is in hospital … they are badly advised, to put it mildly.

“None of these royal interviews have gone well … and I can’t see this going any better,” he said.

He said ITV in the UK should not air the episode.

“Everyone’s sympathies should be for the Queen, a remarkable lady who has given a lifetime of service,” he said.

Another MP, who refused to be named, also griped to the outlet of the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, “One day, I hope those two discover what it is really like to have problems.”

Meanwhile, royal sources previously told the Telegraph that the family is focused on Philip’s wellbeing and not the interview.

“The family is very worried about him and their thoughts are very much with him rather than this Oprah interview. They have much more important things to worry about,” a source told the UK paper.

CBS did not immediately respond to The Post’s request for comment.
