Across two furious interviews on ITV and 60 Minutes, Prince Harry has continued his attack on the other members of the royal family, including King Charles, Camilla, and his brother.
He did so in defence of his upcoming memoir, Spare, saying that remaining silent “only allows the abuser to abuse”. The book explains the events that led to he and his wife, Meghan Markle, to step away from the royal family in 2020 and move to the United States.
In the 90-minute long interview with ITV, Prince Harry discussed how he suspected for years that other members of the royal family were leaking damaging stories about him to the press.
He says, “We’re talking about an antagonist, which is the British press, specifically the tabloids, who want to create as much conflict as possible.
“The saddest part of that is certain members of my family and the people [who] work for them are complicit in that conflict.”
“I love my father, I love my brother, I love my family,” says Prince Harry, and that he had no intention of hurting or harming them, but “certain members have decided to get in bed with the devil”.
The devil in the case being the tabloids, which he believes were leaked information by royals attempting to rehabilitate their own public image.
Of particular concern to Prince Harry was his stepmother, Camilla. In his memoirs he wrote that he believes that his image was “sacrificed on her PR altar”.
Regarding Camilla, he told Anderson Cooper:
“That made her dangerous because of the connections that she was forging within the British press. And there was open willingness on both sides to trade information. And with a family built on hierarchy, and with her, on the way to being Queen Consort, there was gonna be people or bodies left in the street because of that.”
Prince Harry acknowledged that there are two sides to the story, and hopes that his brother and father will read his memoir, but doesn’t expect they will.
He also said that there is a “100 per cent” chance that they will reunite but didn’t confirm whether he would attend King Charles’ coronation on May 6.
“There’s a lot that can happen between now and then. But the door is always open,” he said.
“The ball is in their court.”
