Prince Harry interview news: Duke slams Camilla and media ahead of tonight’s ABC special

Prince Harry has continued his seemingly endless stream of claims and revelations about the royal family in his new autobiography.

Leaked ahead of official release, Spare covers a wide range of topics from his fractious relationship with brother William to the struggles following the death of his mother Diana in 1997.

His sex life, drug use and time in the military are also described in a memoir that seems to go into embarrassing levels of detail.

So far, the palace has refused to comment on any of the contents of the book, copies of which went on sale early in Spain.

The Duke of Sussex was questioned why his and the Duchess of Sussex’s claim about an unnamed royal expressing concern about how dark their unborn son’s skin would be did not appear in a Netflix documentary or his book.

Harry accused the British press of sparking a “royal racist hunt” after the Oprah interview and warned CBS’s 60 Minutes interviewer Anderson Cooper that he would not discuss the matter further. Cooper said: “It wasn’t brought up on Netflix or in the book. Why?”

Harry replied: “The way the British press reacted to it was pretty typical. There was like a hunt for the royal racist. None of us believe that this comment or this experience or this opinion is based on racism.

“Unconscious bias, yes. But I think you talk to most mixed-race couples around the world that the white side of the family would wonder, whether they talk openly about it or to each other, what the kids are going to look like. The key word here was concern, not curiosity. But the way the British press, what they turned it into, was not what it was.

Cooper says, “You’re behind what happened, but you just didn’t feel the need to . . .”

Harry says, “No, but what else did I say at the end of the interview with Oprah?” Cooper “That you’re not going to discuss it anymore. Harry nods his head.

On Sunday (January 8), the royal sat down for an interview with ITV’s Tom Bradby ahead of the release of his memoir Spare this week.

During Monday’s (January 9) episode. Good morning UKMadeleine asked why Harry allowed “accusations of racism” against the royal family to continue.

Prince Harry has spoken about how he has been ‘healing’ from his post-traumatic stress injury (PTSI) following the death of his mother, Princess Diana.

During their conversation, Harry opened up about his grief and how serving in the army “literally saved him” after his mother died in a car crash in Paris in 1997.

When asked if he found his “purpose” in the military, the royal further explained how he finds value in performing various acts of service.

The Duke of Sussex claimed the Queen Consort “sacrificed me on her personal PR altar” in the latest interview to promote his controversial memoir.

Harry attacked Camilla’s attempts to “rehabilitate” her image after she was singled out as the “third party” in his parents’ marriage, but also sympathized with her, saying in an interview with ABC’s Good Morning America (GMA) that she did not is an “evil stepmother”.

The publication of Harry Spare’s book, due out on Tuesday, has been delayed since the Queen’s death, but the Duke insisted his grandmother was not angry or upset with him for wanting to step down as a senior royal.

GMA co-host Michael Strahan read an excerpt from Harry’s book criticizing the Queen Consort: “In a funny way, I even wanted Camilla to be happy. Maybe she would be less dangerous if she was happy.

Another excerpt reads: “I have mixed feelings about acquiring a step-parent who I thought had recently sacrificed me on her personal PR altar.”

Asked what Camilla had ‘done’ in that moment, Harry replied: ‘I feel a huge amount of compassion for her, you know. Because she was the third person in my parents’ marriage and she had a reputation or image to restore.

“Whatever conversations happened, whatever deals or trades were made in the beginning, she was led to believe that this would be the best way to do it.”

In a separate interview with CNN’s Anderson Cooper, Harry said Camilla’s desire to build a relationship with the British press made her “dangerous” and there would be “bodies left on the street because of it.”

Duke of Sussex reportedly makes a number of surprising claims about Queen Consort in forthcoming memoir Spareaddressed his current relationship with his stepmother during an interview with Good morning AmericaMichael Strahan on Monday, January 9.

During the conversation, Harry was asked by Strahan about his “complicated feelings” for Camilla, who the Duke claims in his book “recently sacrificed me on her personal PR altar”.

In response, Harry told Strahan that he felt “huge compassion” for Camilla “as she is the third person in my parents’ marriage.”

The Duke of Sussex said the separation between him and his family “couldn’t be greater”.

Asked if he thought his book would bring his father and brother back or widen the divide, Harry told Good Morning America: “I’ve thought about it long and hard and as far as I can see, the divide might not be bigger than this book .

Harry said that if the reconciliation does not happen, he will focus on his life and family.

“I’m not angry anymore. There are things that will still make me angry, but I’m not angry anymore because I’m right where I need to be,” he said.

During the interview, Harry said he was “born to serve”, adding: “It’s in my blood.”

The Duke of Sussex said there is a place for the monarchy in the modern world if they address unconscious bias.

Asked on Good Morning America if he thought there was a place for the British monarchy in the 21st century, he said: “I honestly believe there is. Not the way it is now.”

Asked if they needed to modernize, and if so in what way, Harry said: “I think the same process I went through with my own unconscious biases would be hugely beneficial for them.

“Not racism, but unconscious bias, if not faced, if not learned and grown, it can turn into racism.

“But there was a huge missed opportunity with my wife.”

Harry also said during the interview: “I think my mother would have recognized the missed opportunity when Meghan was part of the institution, part of the monarchy.”

In an interview that shocked the world, Prince Harry denied accusing the royal family of racism in his March 2021 interview with Oprah after Meghan revealed that an unnamed family member had raised concerns about how dark the unborn’s skin would be their son Archie.

“No, no… the British press said that… Did Meghan ever mention that they were racist? … There was concern about the color of his skin,” the Duke told ITV’s Tom Bradby on Sunday night.

Even Bradby was surprised, asking, “Wouldn’t you describe that as essentially racist?” Harry replied, “I wouldn’t, as I haven’t lived in that family.”

Our racing correspondent Nadine White reports:

The Duke of Sussex insisted his grandmother, the late Queen, was not angry or upset with him for wanting to step down as a senior working royal.

Interviewer Michael Strahan asked him on Good Morning America, “Did she ever express that she was upset with you?”

Harry replies, “For what?”

Strahan replies, “Because of wanting to change your role.”

Harry says, “No. My grandmother and I had a very good relationship. It never came as a surprise to anyone, least of all her.

“She knew what was going on. She knew how hard it was. She never told me she was angry. I think she was sad it had come to that.
