The Queen will \u2018ignore\u2019 the Duke and Duchess of Sussex\u2019s explosive Oprah Winfrey interview which has been branded a \u2018circus\u2019 by royal courtiers, it has been reported.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

Harry and Meghan\u2019s televised conversation with the talk show host, which has fuelled tensions within the monarchy, will air in the US on Sunday night before being broadcast on ITV on Monday.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

Palace officials have accused the Sussexes of being \u2018at war\u2019 with the royal household \u2013 and warn that courtiers \u2018will come out swinging\u2019 if they attack specific individuals in the much-anticipated interview.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>
\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

But the Sunday Times reports the Queen will not watch the programme and is instead focusing on national issues, while the paper said royal courtiers have branded the interview a \u2018circus\u2019.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n

A source close to the Queen told the paper: \u2018You will see next week Her Majesty has quite a few things going on. I don\u2019t think anyone should expect Her Majesty to stay up and watch the interview. She won\u2019t.<\/p>\n

\u2018What should Monday really be about? Children going back to school, the effectiveness of the vaccine programme \u2013 these are the big issues the royal family wants to focus on, not news about the circus that is Oprah and all things Sussex.\u2019<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n

A senior source claimed that the Sussexes were undermining the monarchy\u2019s work, adding: \u2018The mood in the family is: can everyone just shut the hell up and can we just get on with the day job.\u2019<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, the Sunday Express reported that The Queen\u2019s mind is \u2018only on duty and Philip\u2019.<\/p>
