CBS released clips Sunday night of Oprah Winfrey’s upcoming pally chat with Prince Harry and Meghan Markle in the latest installment of the royal soap opera.
Markle described life in the Royal Family as — GASP! — “almost unsurvivable.”
The clips were shown during a break on 60 Minutes and apparently, the Prince of Hollywood and his bride are taking a scorched-earth approach.
“You’ve said some pretty shocking things here … wait, hold up, wait a minute,” Winfrey tells her friends.
And she offers a slew of softball, viral questions.

She asks, as Megs cradles her growing belly: “Were you silent or were you silenced?”
Winfrey adds: “I just want to make it clear to everybody there is no subject that’s off limits.”
And: “’Almost unsurvivable’ sounds like there was a breaking point.”

The interview is slated to air March 7 and in the interim, no doubt, Queen Elizabeth and the other royals are unlikely to be pleased.
Wearing a $4,700 Giorgio Armani gown, Markle, 39, bravely faced her inquisitor.
And Prince Harry, holding his wife’s hand, upped the emotional ante by invoking his late mother, Princess Diana.
He told Winfrey: “My biggest concern was history repeating itself.”
The prince told Winfrey that he still agonizes over the 1997 death of Diana in a Paris tunnel. Her limo was being chased by paparazzi but her driver was intoxicated.
“You know, for me, I’m just really relieved and happy to be sitting here talking to you with my wife by my side because I can’t begin to imagine what it must have been like for her going through this process by herself all those years ago,” he said of his mother’s infamous 1995 BBC interview.
