Prince Harry accused the Royal Family of failing to defend his wife Meghan and hit out at racism in the institution in a series of wide-ranging interviews ahead of the release of his new memoir, Spare.
Harry, in an interview with US show CBS’s 60 Minutes, launched into his fiercest criticism yet of his stepmother.
The duke wrote in his memoir Spare that Camilla “sacrificed me on her personal PR altar”.
In an interview with ITV he also hit out at the family over failing to defend his wife over a Jeremy Clarkson newspaper column saying the "silence is deafening" about the "horrific" Sun article last month.
We take a look at the best quotes from Harry’s talks with Tom Bradby on ITV and Andrew Cooper on CBS’s 60 Minutes programme:
The duke wrote in his memoir Spare that Camilla “sacrificed me on her personal PR altar”.
5. Prince Harry warns Jeremy Clarkson’s ‘horrific’ article about Meghan incites violence
Harry said Jeremy Clarkson’s “cruel” article in the Sun newspaper about his wife Meghan encourages people around the world to believe it is an acceptable way to treat women. He said: “When we’re talking about accountability… the Jeremy Clarkson article… what he said was horrific and is hurtful and cruel towards my wife, but it also encourages other people around the UK and around the world, men particularly, to go and think that it’s acceptable to treat women that way.” Photo: PA
6. Royal family ‘complicit’ in conflict with British press
Harry told Bradby: “A symptom of one of the problems where we’re not just talking about family relationships, 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 that work for them are complicit in that conflict. ” Photo: Jane Barlow
7. Camilla’s relationship with the British press made her ‘dangerous’
The duke told Andrew Cooper the Queen Consort was “the villain, she was a third person in the marriage” and “needed to rehabilitate her image”. “The need for her to rehabilitate her image… that made her dangerous because of the connections that she was forging within the British press,” he said. “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 going to be people or bodies left in the street because of that.” Photo: Bob Collier
8. Harry was “not invited” on family plane to Balmoral Castle to see ailing Queen
In his interview with Cooper, Harry said he was “not invited” onboard a plane taking other members of the royal family Balmoral Castle, ahead of the Queen’s death. “I asked my brother…’what are your plans, how are you and Kate getting up there?’” he said. “And then a couple of hours later all of the family members that live within the Windsor and Ascot area were jumping on a plane together, a plane with 12, 14 maybe 16 seats.” “You are not provided on that plane?” Cooper asked him. “I was not invited,” Harry replied. He added that by the time he had reached Balmoral the Queen was already dead. Photo: PA
