{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's famed interview with Oprah Winfrey couldn't beat out a show about Italian food and culture for an Emmy.
The royal couple's controversial interview lost out to Stanley Tucci: Searching For Italy and My Next Guest Needs No Introduction With David Letterman, a six-part series that explores Italian cuisine and culture, in the best hosted nonfiction series category.
Winfrey hosted a two-hour interview with the couple on CBS in their first media appearance after their announcement that they were quitting their royal duties and moving to California, with Winfrey and her team being nominated for an Emmy after the event was watched by more than 49 million people in three days.

Markle also told the TV host that the stress of being a royal newlywed nearly pushed her to suicide.
