MEGHAN Markle will NOT be doing any interviews any time soon after it was reported that the Duchess of Sussex was going to sit down with Ellen DeGeneres.
The daytime host had appeared to confirm she would be interviewing Meghan Markle in her first interview since leaving the Royal Family.
New Royal sources told PEOPLE that any plans for a sit-down interview between Ellen and Meghan were “categorically untrue."
The source also claimed Meghan will not be doing interviews with anyone in the near future.
Just yesterday, Ellen had alluded to interviewing the Duchess of Sussex after her move to Canada.
The talk show host replied, "Sure, I'm excited" when asked whether she was excited about interviewing Meghan in a tell-all interview.
It's not clear whether Ellen was joking, and reps for The Ellen Show haven't gotten back to The Sun about a possible sit-down between the two.
The Daily Mail reported that "Ellen and Meghan have already discussed a sit-down interview" and alleged it's "been in the works for quite some time now.”
Meghan, 38, and Ellen, 61, have been friendly for years and said they met years ago at a Los Angeles dog shelter, when Ellen and her wife, Portia de Rossi, strolled in looking for a dog.
Meghan previously told Best Health she was at the shelter, debating whether to get her dog, Bogart, when Ellen asked: “Is that your dog?”
“I said, ‘No,’ and she's like, ‘You have to take that dog,” Meghan recalled. “And I said, ‘Well, I’m deciding.’ And she's like, ‘Rescue the dog!’”
“It’s sort of like if Oprah [Winfrey] tells you to do something.”
A source told the Daily Mail Meghan feels she and Ellen are like “kindred spirits.”
"[Meghan] said Ellen understands her pain and suffering. That she epitomizes authenticity.”
Ellen joked ahead of Meghan and Harry's royal wedding that she was "a little hurt" she wasn't invited, considering she's distantly related to Kate Middleton.
She added: "I should have been invited because I'm responsible for Meghan Markle's true love… her dog."
"Ellen getting the first shot at an in-depth interview is surely going to put Oprah's — (and Gayle King's) nose out of joint,' another source added to the Mail.
Ellen has also met baby Archie during her surprise visit with Prince Harry and Meghan.
She talked on her show about how she fed and cradled Archie, before joking that: “He weighs 15 lbs., which is, the exchange rate, is 17 dollars here!”
She also shared of Archie, who was born May 6, “He looks like Harry — and he had more hair than I did at the time.”
