What time is Prince Harry interviewing Barack Obama on the Today programme and why is he guest-editing the BBC Radio 4 show?
Ex-US President sat down with Harry for a special re-recorded interview
PRINCE Harry will be interviewing former US President Barack Obama in a festive edition of BBC Radio 4's Today programme which he has guest edited.
But when will listeners be able to hear this extraordinary interview?
When is Prince Harry interviewing Barack Obama?
The interview airs on BBC Radio 4's Today Programme TODAY, December 27, 2017.
The interview is pre-recorded and will be available online for those who don't catch it at the time of airing.
The former US President sat down with Harry at the Invictus Games in September — where the royal had his first public outing with future fiancee Meghan Markle.
The Today Show's Sarah Montague will co-host the programme which Prince Harry is guest-editing.
Kensington Palace said on Boxing Day: "Prince Harry will guest edit tomorrow's @BBCr4today programme. HRHR has worked closely with the Today team over several months to produce segments on topics close to his heart including the Armed Forces, conservation and mental health."
What will happen in the interview?
Kensington Palace said the conversation between the Prince and the former President would focus on the pair’s “shared interest in building platforms for the next generation of young leaders”.
In a teaser clip, Barack joked: "Do I have to put on a British accent" as he is interviewed by Prince Harry for a special Christmas radio broadcast.
Nervous Harry replied: "No, but if you start using long pauses between answers you're going to get 'the face'" before scowling.
Mr Obama, who left the White House last January after Donald Trump's election, cracked more jokes during their warm-up in Canada.
Harry said: "You're excited about this. I'm nervous about this. That's what's quite funny."
Barack, wearing a trademark US flag lapel badge, replied: "I'll interview you if you want".

How do Prince Harry and Barak Obama know each other?
Harry and Barack's bromance blossomed as they spent time together watching events at the Invictus Games.
The happy pair bounced-off each other while they cheered on the teams at the Pan Am sports centre.
Since then, they have enjoyed a public friendship.
The Sun has revealed there is a concern in the Government that if Harry and Meghan invite the Obamas to their wedding it will anger Donald Trump.
A senior government source told The Sun: "Harry has made it clear he wants the Obamas at the wedding, so it's causing a lot of nervousness.
"Trump could react very badly if the Obamas get to a Royal wedding before he has had a chance to meet the Queen."
