Prince Harry has reportedly angered Oprah Winfrey after speaking to James Corden on The Late Late Show, which aired a week ahead of her own tell-all chat.
The 67 year old talk show host had a sit down chat with Prince Harry and his pregnant wife Meghan Markle, 39, "for an intimate conversation" that will air in the UK on ITV just 24 hours after being released on CBS broadcast network in the US.
One of the key subject points in Oprah's interview with the couple is why they chose to leave their royal duties and hauled their lives from London to California with their one year old son Archie.
However, during 36 year old Prince Harry chat with James, 42, he dished out the details and made it clear that his anger towards the British media was a huge factor in their move abroad.

This has reportedly made Oprah "livid" as she hoped to keep the lines exclusive for her chat with the pair, which airs next week.
Speaking about Oprah's interview, which could have been devalued by Harry's chat with James, the i Paper's Late Editor Benjamin Butterworth explained: “I think they were desperate to get their story out there.
“Anyone that saw James Corden and Prince Harry on Friday, first of all, Oprah must have been livid that he'd already given the line of why he quit the Royals to James Corden so she's not got that as an exclusive."

He continued: "So she's wasted a couple of million there but I just find it utterly extraordinary how a couple that are so rich and have had such a high position in life as the Duke and Duchess can manage to make themselves appear so cheap."
Since news of the Oprah interview broke on on 15 February, the couple have faced backlash and calls for the chat to be postponed while Prince Harry's grandfather Prince Philip, 99, remains in hospital for treatment for an infection.
Despite this, CBS have confirmed that it will go ahead as planned on Sunday 7 March at 8pm Eastern Time. ITV is said to have spent £1million, beating Sky to the punch, to buy the rights and will air it a day later.

Benjamin went on: “It really is big money, reportedly ITV spent £1million on getting the rights to air this Oprah interview in the UK.
“So god knows how much is sloshing around in the US. For a couple that needs the popularity and the good PR, even if you accept their decision to quit the royals and go off and pursue this line of work.
“You have to question the good sense behind doing it now, you know, would it have killed them to do it in three months, six months, when the world will hopefully be in a much stronger place?”
