EXCLUSIVE: Meghan Markle is planning to give her first interview to Ellen because she feels they are 'kindred spirits and host understands her pain and suffering' - a snub to BFF Oprah
Meghan Markle told her close friends she is planning on giving Ellen DeGeneres her first interview, insiders have exclusively told DailyMail.com
They said: '[Meghan] said Ellen understands her pain and suffering. That she epitomizes authenticity. [Meghan] feels like they are kindred spirits'
The two met at a dog shelter in LA where Ellen encouraged Meghan to adopt her first dog Bogart, and Ellen and her wife visited Meghan and Harry in London
'Ellen and Meghan have already discussed a sit-down interview. That's been in the works for quite some time now,' a source at the Ellen Show confirmed
They said the interview will 'be all hush-hush and most likely at a secret location'
They added: '[Ellen] would want a sit-down with the both of them together. She wants her fans to see what she already knows to be true'
'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,' a source added to DailyMail.com
A spokesperson for Ellen did not return request for comment but when asked on camera if she was excited to interview Meghan, she said: 'Sure, I'm excited'
