TMC broadcast Monday evening and exclusively for France the interview by the famous American journalist Oprah Winfrey of the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle.

This special evening, completed by a documentary on the couple, was a success for the TF1 group channel.

Successful bet for TMC.

The TNT channel, which belongs to the TF1 group, broadcast Monday evening exclusively for France the event interview of Meghan Markle and Prince Harry by journalist Oprah Winfrey.

It was the first time that the Duchess and Duke of Sussex, stripped of their titles of nobility in February 2020, have spoken publicly since leaving the British royal family.

With this bonus, TMC gathered 1.46 million viewers, or 6.3% audience share.

A very good score for the channel.

Silence of the crown

TMC continued its special evening with the broadcast of the documentary 

Meghan and Harry: a modern day fairy tale

, produced and already broadcast on the occasion of their wedding in 2018. In the United States, where the interview was filmed, the CBS channel achieved its season record, excluding sports competitions, with 17 million viewers.

The interview, where the couple notably accuses a member of the royal family of racism without revealing his identity, did not fail to shock the Anglo-Saxon press, very attached to the crown, and to make the English react.

For her part, and as tradition dictates, Queen Elizabeth II and members of the Windsor dynasty remained silent in the face of this explosive interview.
