Amongst the many questions potential viewers have is whether or not Meghan's family will appear in the interview – more specifically her mother, Doria Ragland.

Doria, 64, was memorably the only member of Meghan's family present when she married Harry in May 2018. She was also in the UK for the birth of grandson Archie Harrison one year later, and was by Meghan's side for her first few days of motherhood, staying with the new family in Frogmore Cottage.
