The bombshell sit-down interview with Meghan Markle and Prince Harry which was conducted by Oprah Winfrey has been nominated for the forthcoming 2021 Emmy Awards.
The two-hour tell-all, released by CBS in March this year, has been nominated for an Emmy in the “Outstanding Hosted Nonfiction Series Or Special” category.
While the royal couple are themselves not part of the nomination, being the interviewees, those receiving the nod are interviewer Oprah Winfrey, and the program’s producers Tara Montgomery, Terry Wood, Brian Piotrowicz, Brad Pavone and Lindsay Flader.
The interview, titled “Oprah with Meghan & Harry: A CBS Primetime Special,” featured a number of startling allegations against the palace including those of racism.
It also marked the first time that the royal couple spoke out about the reasons behind their decision to quit as senior members of the British royal family. It has been watched by at least 17.1 million viewers, and remains a hot topic of discussion even today.
The CBS special is up against “Stanley Tucci: Searching For Italy” and “My Next Guest Needs No Introduction With David Letterman” in the Emmy category. The winners will be announced at the 73rd Primetime Emmy Awards on September 19.
