Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are sitting down for another bombshell CBS interview — only this time, the royal family *likely* doesn’t have to be worried about them spilling any tea. Keyword: likely. This is Harry and Meghan we’re talking about. LOLz!
On Thursday, it was announced that the Duke and Duchess of Sussex will be appearing on Sunday’s episode of CBS News Sunday Morning to chat about the very dire consequences of online bullying, especially how it is affecting younger generations, and how their Archewell Foundation is working to make a change.

In a sneak peek, the couple could be seen sitting side by side while talking to host Jane Pauley. The Suits alum first gushed about their children Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet, saying:
“Our kids are young, they’re three and five, they’re amazing, but all you want to do as parents is protect them.”
And that’s where their fear about the internet comes in, she added:
“And so as we can see what’s happening in the online space, we know that there’s a lot of work to be done there and we’re just happy to be able to be a part of change for good.”
Jane then pointed out that “you hope that when your children ask for help, someone is there to give it” — but Harry interrupted her, adding ominously, “if you know to help.” He continued:
“At this point, we’ve got to the stage where almost 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. That is the terrifying piece of this.”
This conversation is clearly very personal to them. Not only are they trying to make the world a better place for their kids, but they have also been victims of tons of online hate, particularly Meghan. She’s also experienced suicidal thoughts as she deeply struggled with her mental health before the pair walked away from their royal roles in 2020.
This new interview comes shortly after it was confirmed they will visit Colombia for a tour later this year. They accepted an invitation from the country’s president, Francia Márquez, and they are expected to “engage in several activities” related to “cyberbullying, online exploitation and the mental health impacts of these threats.” The TV appearance will also be their first joint interview since their explosive sit down with Oprah Winfrey in 2021 — a conversation that cemented the royal family’s feud. So, we’ll be listening closely to hear if they have anything more to say on that dynamic.
