One journalist says there's an unwritten rule in the U.K: Take on the tabloids and "they'll squash you forever." The Duchess of Sussex did it anyway.
Winfrey joined "CBS This Morning" after her interview, which co-host Gayle King said the television icon called the "best interview" of her career.
In an exclusive interview with Oprah, Meghan and Prince Harry open up about their decision to leave the royal family and dealing with the British media.

Speaking with Oprah Winfrey, Prince Harry says he feared "history repeating itself."
