Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have filmed a sit-down interview with Jane Pauley for “CBS Sunday Morning,” Page Six can exclusively reveal.
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex spoke to the 73-year-old TV icon about their new initiative centered around kids and social media, which will launch next week.
The interview will air this coming Sunday and feature the couple talking about a continuation of their work with parents who have lost their children to online bullying and abuse.
It will be the Sussexes’ first joint interview since their bombshell sit-down with Oprah Winfrey in March 2021, when they launched a series of grenades at the royal family — including claims that senior members had asked what color the couple’s children’s skin would be.
As Page Six revealed, Harry remains estranged from his father, King Charles III, and brother, Prince William, as sources recently told us he would reconsider a reunion only if the monarch reinstated his UK security.
Buckingham Palace insiders insisted it was not up to Charles but the British government.
A CBS spokesperson tells Page Six, “The Duke and Duchess sat down with ‘CBS Sunday Morning’ host Jane Pauley last week for an exclusive interview to introduce a program aimed at supporting parents whose children have been impacted by online harm.
“Jane also spoke with parents participating in the pilot program who described how it has helped their healing process.”
Back in October, Harry, 39, and Markle, 42, appeared alongside grieving parents at a panel in NYC, helmed by their Archewell Foundation, where they called for tech giants to modify addictive apps that can harm young people’s mental health.
“Please stop sending children content you wouldn’t want your own children to see,” Harry said in a plea to tech firms. “I think it’s a very simple request, and it’s an easy fix.”
The couple have two young children, Prince Archie, 5, and Princess Lilibet, 3, and Markle revealed they had been working in secret with tech companies.
‘”A year ago, we met some of the families, and at the time, it was impossible not to be in tears hearing their stories because it’s just that devastating,” she said at the World Mental Health Day event.
“But I will say I feel fortunate that our children are at an age, again quite young, so this isn’t in our immediate future,” she added, “but I also feel frightened at how it’s continuing to change and this will be in front of us.”
Harry and Markle also announced Thursday that they will visit Colombia at the invitation of the country’s vice president, Francia Márquez, where they are set to engage in several activities related to fostering a safer online environment.
