In a highly anticipated interview with ITV and CBS News, the Duke of Sussex, Prince Harry, has criticized Buckingham Palace over its alleged failure to support him and his wife, the Duchess of Sussex, as they stepped down as senior royals.
The interviews are set to air on the same day as the release of Harry’s memoir.
In snippets released by both broadcasters, Harry expresses his frustration with the leaking and planting of stories against him and Meghan, stating, “I want a family, not an institution.”
He also suggests that they have been portrayed as villains and that there has been no willingness to reconcile.
ITV’s interview with Harry, conducted by presenter Tom Bradby, delves into unprecedented depth and detail about his life within and outside the royal family.
Bradby, a friend of the Sussexes, previously interviewed them for a documentary about their Africa tour in 2019.
Meanwhile, in his conversation with CBS’s Anderson Cooper, Harry speaks of feeling betrayed by Buckingham Palace.
He reveals that every time he has tried to address issues privately, stories have been leaked and planted against him and his wife.
He criticizes the palace for feeding information to journalists, who then write stories with the palace’s perspective, giving the impression of a response from the palace.
CBS has described the full interview as revealing, while Harry’s upcoming memoir is expected to be explosive, shedding light on disagreements with his father, Prince Charles.
The book is set to be released on January 10th.
This latest development follows Harry’s claim in a Netflix documentary that his brother, Prince William, broke a promise to never leak stories or brief against each other.
Harry witnessed the consequences of such actions in their father’s office and feels that silence in the face of betrayal is unacceptable.
The news has sparked speculation among viewers.
Some wonder if Harry genuinely wants to reconcile with Charles and William, while others question whether Meghan is behind this move.
