In the CBS interview, Meghan and Harry can be seen sitting on a neutrally decked terrace in front of an immaculate lawn.
The footage does not show inside Gayle’s home but the CBS presenter has recently shared sneak peaks inside with fans – with candid snaps showing her stylish living room and lavish interiors.
Hinting at the location on CBS This Morning, Gayle said: “They taped at a friend’s home. People said it was at Oprah’s house or Harry and Meghan’s, [but] it was at a friend’s home.”

While the majority of the chat is understood to be at Gayle King’s, Meghan and Harry’s home does feature in the two hour screening.
