King Charles 'to be grilled about Harry and Meghan in bombshell TV interview'
King Charles plans to take part in a BBC interview about his plans for the monarchy, a royal insider has claimed.
The monarch is claimed to be keen on outlining his 'manifesto' for his 'slimline' royal family - but he may face awkward questions about the fall-out with Prince Harry and Meghan Markle.
Royal commentator, author and Princess Diana's confidante, Stewart Pearce, has made the claims in an exclusive interview at a British American Business Council event in California.
He spoke while on a US promotion tour for his book Diana: The Voice Of Change.
Mr Pearce says the new King wants to discuss his outlook on the monarchy’s future, with potentially friend and broadcaster Jonathan Dimbleby posing the questions for the BBC special.

If the interview does take place, the King may be grilled about Harry and Meghan's allegations about the royals, which include racism claims.
Mr Steward said: “I believe strongly, that Charles will grant another interview to the BBC, possibly with somebody like Jonathan Dimbleby, whom he trusts and likes."
He said Charles has been followed around by cameras for a year, resulting in 180 hours of footage in preparation of the programme.

The King previously admitted adultery with his future wife Camilla Parker-Bowles when he was asked by Mr Dimbleby if he had been faithful to Princess Diana.
He responded that he had "until" the marriage "became irretrievably broken down".
According to Mr Pearce the pair have maintained a "strong" connection, adding: “After all, 30 years ago the documentary was released, which was a very profound conversation between Prince Charles, as he was then, and Dimbleby."

The news comes as the Sussexes confirmed they have been evicted from Frogmore Cottage by the King.
The King was said to have made the decision to remove them from the Windsor property as there has been no thaw in their relationship with the Royal Family.
Frogmore Cottage has now been offered to Prince Andrew, it has been claimed.
A spokesperson for the Sussexes said last night: “We can confirm The Duke and Duchess of Sussex have been requested to vacate the residence at Frogmore Cottage."
The King reportedly made the eviction decision following the publication of Harry's controversial memoir Spare in January, biographer Omid Scobie said.
