The Sussexes are on the move.
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have filmed a sit-down interview with Jane Pauley for “CBS Sunday Morning.”
“Jane Pauley catches up with Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, to talk about their new project, an organization called ‘The Parents Network,’ in association with their charitable Archewell Foundation, which supports parents whose children have been impacted by online harm,” the network’s official description reads.
This will be the Sussexes’ first joint interview since their bombshell sit-down with Oprah Winfrey in March 2021, when they exposed the royal family’s dirty laundry — including claims that senior members had asked what color the couple’s son Archie’s skin would be.
This will be Harry and Meghan’s first joint interview since their explosive sit-down with Oprah in 2021.
In a follow-up tweet about the interview, CBS said, “The Duke and Duchess of Sussex talk with Jane Pauley this Sunday about a new program supporting parents of children affected by online harm. Jane also interviews parents in the pilot program about its impact on their healing.”
In a clip from the CBS Sunday interview, Markle initially gushes about the couple’s children.
“Our kids are young, they’re 3 and 5,” referring to Prince Archie, 5, and Princess Lilibet, 3. “They’re amazing. But all you want to do as parents is protect them. And so as we can see what’s happening in the online space, we know there’s a lot of work to be done there.”
Prince Harry says in the interview that parents are “first responders.”
Harry and Meghan will also jet off to Colombia, after their controversial Nigeria trip.
Harry added that it’s important to know “how to help,” and at this point, every parent needs to be a “first responder.”
“And even the best first responders in the world wouldn’t be able to tell the signs of possible suicide,” he continued. “That is the terrifying piece of this.”
On Thursday, it was also announced that Prince Harry, 39, and Markle, 42, will jet off to visit Colombia at the invitation of the Vice President of Colombia, Francia Márquez.
In a press release announcing the visit, Márquez wrote, “During their trip, the Duke and Duchess will join me in visiting Bogota, as well as the Caribbean and Pacific regions of Cartagena and Cali.”
“Their visit comes at a particularly significant time, as it precedes the first Global Ministerial Conference on Ending Violence Against Children, to be held in Colombia this November. The Archwell foundation, founded by the Duke and Duchess, is renowned for its global leadership in fostering a safer online environment.”
He added, “The forthcoming conference will unveil a comprehensive framework for creating safer physical and digital spaces, tackling issues such as cyberbullying, online exploitation, and the mental health impacts of these threats…during their visit, the Duke and Duchess, as well as The Archwell Foundation, will engage in several activities related to this important topic.”
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle will also go to Colombia
Jane Pauley will be Harry and Meghan’s first joint interviewer since Oprah in 2021.
King Charles and Prince William were reportedly “furious” about the Nigeria trip, since it had all the markings of an official royal visit, even though the Sussexes stepped down from official royal duties in 2020.
Author and royal expert Tom Quinn told the Mirror that the couple’s trip “confirmed the worst fears” of Harry’s family, and made Prince William and King Charles “absolutely furious.”
Meghan Markle talks about her “amazing” children in the interview.
“Everything you might expect from an official royal visit was there — the receptions, the visits to schools and charities, to wounded soldiers and the disabled,” he said at the time in May. “Charles is said to be angrier than anyone has ever seen him.”
“Meghan and Harry’s speeches and their whole attitude has been designed to give the impression that they are still fully paid-up royals…For Charles and William, it’s as if Meghan and Harry are saying, ‘We don’t need your permission to be working royals — we will do it on our own terms whenever and wherever we like,’” he went on. “William and Charles are scratching their heads and thinking, ‘How are we going to control this nightmare situation?’”
