- Couple plan to use next year to ‘prove’ to Queen they can make their roles work
- Source close to the couple said they will ‘absolutely not’ be doing any interviews
- Likely that Harry will do a small number of royal engagements until spring
Harry and Meghan have no plans to do a tell-all interview, friends insisted last night.
The couple want to use the next year to ‘prove’ to the Queen they can make their new role outside of the Royal Family work.
Reports have suggested the Sussexes are thinking about doing an interview with a major US broadcaster, with high-profile names such as Oprah or Gayle King – a presenter friend of Meghan’s – being considered.

But a source close to the couple said they will ‘absolutely not’ be doing any interviews.
‘They are very happy and grateful that Her Majesty has agreed to this new model of working and want to prove that it is possible. An interview is not part of that,’ the source said.
It is likely that Harry will undertake a small number of royal engagements he had already committed to between now and the spring, during what has been described as a period of ‘transition’ towards the couple’s new life.
There has been no mention of Meghan, however, and sources say she is unlikely to come back to the UK for the foreseeable future.
