The queen will appear on TV to provide the British royal family perspective on #Megexit
Royal watchers are already counting down the days till Prince Harry and Meghan Markle‘s long-awaited interview with Oprah Winfrey airs. But now reports have surfaced that the Queen and the rest of the senior royals are planning to air a nationwide address in the U.K in what many speculate to be a preemptive strike.
Monday, it was reported that the Queen plans to address the United Kingdom during a television address with the support of both Prince Charles and Prince William just a few hours before her grandson and his wife premiere their in-depth sit-down interview with Winfrey in the United States.

Westminster Abbey officially announced Monday morning that originally Her Majesty had been scheduled to attend the annual Commonwealth Service on March 8. However, since the event was cancelled for the first time in nearly half a century due to COVID-19 concerns, she will instead share her annual message 24 hours earlier during A Celebration For Commonwealth Day.
The pre-recorded speech taped at Windsor Castle will broadcast on BBC One on Sunday, March 7. And although the official explanation seems simple enough, the British press has pointed out that it doesn’t feel like a coincidence that the queen will be addressing millions of Britons right before the Sussexes make waves across the pond.
“The decision was taken jointly by the Abbey, the BBC and the royal household about three weeks ago,” explained a Westminster Abbey spokesman.
