Page Six can confirm that Prince Harry and Meghan Markle will appear on “The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon” next week to promote the release of their Netflix documentary series.
In “Harry & Meghan,” which was released Thursday, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex discuss their lives before, during, and beyond the palace.
Now, the pair, who stood down as senior royal family members in 2020 in pursuit of more solitude, will appear on Jimmy Fallon’s NBC show on December 15 for their first-ever late-night interview.
Who will make their talk show debut on Thursday? The official account for “The Tonight Show” tweeted on Thursday with a crown and necktie emoji, “We’ll give you a hint.”
Netflix commented via Twitter, “You must admire this fandom”

The television appearance takes place on the same day as the couple’s sister-in-law, Kate Middleton, will present “Royal Carols: Together at Christmas” at Westminster Abbey.
According to Buckingham Palace, the 40-year-old Princess of Wales has organized a joyful gathering that will unite other members of the royal family with charity staff, community volunteers, frontline workers, and military people.
It will be their debut appearance together on a late-night program.

Markle, 41, was scheduled to appear on Fallon’s show in September when in New York City with Prince Harry, 38, for the UN General Assembly; but, her appearance was postponed following the passing of the prince’s grandmother, Queen Elizabeth II.
“Meghan was scheduled to appear on Fallon,” a source informed Page Six at the time. I have no idea what she was going to say, but the event has been cancelled.
The first three episodes of the duo’s six-episode docuseries began streaming on Thursday, and they leave no stone unturned in their coverage of behind-the-scenes royal life.
In 2020, Meghan and Harry will renounce their royal obligations.

The scandal-tainted royals mentioned explosive allegations of “bribery,” “exploitation,” and a “orchestrated reality show,” as well as intimate information such as Harry’s engagement and family life in California.
The series takes a behind-the-scenes look at the Duke and Duchess of Sussex’s life together, examining everything from their early courtship to the controversies, Harry’s criticism of the media for racism, their unprecedented step back from the royal family, and their new life in the United States.
The documentary is directed by Emmy winner and Oscar nominee Liz Garbus and features candid interviews with the couple, as well as their family and friends who have not previously spoken out.
