2 Jun
Summary
- Prince William experienced significant anxiety before Harry and Meghan's Oprah interview.
- A new royal biography claims William was "sick with worry" about the interview's revelations.
- The 2021 interview sparked global headlines and intense discussion about the monarchy.

Prince William was reportedly "sick with worry" in the lead-up to Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's 2021 interview with Oprah Winfrey, according to a new royal biography.
Christopher Andersen's book, Kate! The Courage, Grace and Power of the Woman Who Will Be Queen, details William's anxiety over potential revelations from his brother and sister-in-law. The interview, which aired in March 2021, generated massive global attention.
During the broadcast, Prince Harry famously described feeling "trapped" within the royal system, a sentiment he extended to his father and brother. The conversation also touched upon reported family tensions, including speculation about Meghan and Catherine, Princess of Wales.
Andersen suggests William feared the interview would exacerbate existing rifts and create new challenges for the royal family. The Oprah special marked a defining moment in the public narrative of the Sussexes' relationship with the monarchy.
