Prince Harry has made another sensational about-face in his attacks on the royal family – claiming he has “great sympathy” for his father’s wife, Camilla, less than 12 hours after calling her “dangerous” and a “villain” in branded a 60 Minutes interview to promote his explosive new book.
The 38-year-old’s latest comments about the Queen Consort – which he reveals in his memoir Spare, whom he once considered an “evil stepmother” – came in a new conversation with GMA, his third taped interview in less than 24 hours.
I spoke to host Michael Strahan, who asked Harry, “What [Camilla] had done’ to get both he and his brother to ‘beg’ Charles not to marry her, the Duke of Sussex insisted he actually sympathized with her role as ‘the third person in his parents’ marriage’ and claimed he “doesn’t do it”. think of her as an evil stepmother’.
“I have a lot of sympathy for her, you know, because I’m the third person in my parents’ marriage,” Harry told Strahan – although he did tell 60 Minutes’ Anderson Cooper last night that Camilla’s affair with Charles made her ” villain” made.
When asked how his relationship with Camilla is today, Harry admitted they “haven’t spoken in a long time” but added that he “loves every member of his family” and that if he and the Queen Consort ‘See you, we’re perfectly comfortable’.
Prince Harry has claimed in a new interview with GMA he has “great sympathy” for his father’s wife Camilla – less than 12 hours after he branded her “dangerous” and a “bad guy”.
The Duke is said to have ignored pleas from his father Charles not to attack his wife in his memoir and accompanying interviews, with Harry throwing several barbs at Camilla in his book
However, the pleasantries he claims once existed between them may be a thing of the past after Harry launched a violent attack on Camilla after ignoring a plea from his father not to attack his wife.
Harry told Cooper that the Queen Consort was content with bodies – including his own – being “left on the street” as she tried to redeem her image after her long affair with King Charles while he was married to Princess Diana .
Referring to a 1995 interview in which his mother, Princess Diana, famously referred to Camilla as the “third person in their marriage,” Harry said that admission turned today’s Queen Consort into a “bad guy,” adding: ‘She needed to rehabilitate her image.’
According to Harry, this desire to change her public image made her “dangerous.”
“It made her dangerous because of the connections she forged within the British press,” he said.
“And there was an open willingness on both sides to share information, and with a family built on hierarchies and with her on the way to becoming Queen Consort, people or corpses would be left in the streets because of that.”
The Duke also wrote in his memoir Spare that Camilla “sacrificed me on her personal PR altar,” revealing that he and William asked Charles not to marry her, accusing her of marrying the current King and Queen Consort to become.
Ironically, in the same breath that Harry claimed to GMA that he had “sympathy” for Camilla, he doubled down on claims that she “traded stories” with the press to “rehabilitate her image” after her affair with Charles was exposed was.
“She had a reputation or an image to redeem, and whatever conversations, whatever deals or deals were made right at the start, she was made to believe that this would be the best way to do it,” he said.
He went on to say that Camilla’s only ever focus was on herself, saying that she “did everything she could” to “improve her own image … for her own sake.”
When asked where his relationship with Camilla is today, Harry admitted that they “haven’t spoken to each other in a long time.”
Harry’s claim that he felt “sympathy” for his stepmother came less than 12 hours after he branded her a “bad guy” in a recorded conversation with 60 Minutes host Anderson Cooper
“She’s my stepmother. I don’t see her as a bad stepmother,’ he continued. “I see her as someone who married into this institution and did everything she could to improve her own reputation and image. For her own sake.’
The Duke’s sensational public attack on Camilla was the latest in a series of barbs he hurled at his stepmother – having already painted what Cooper described as the very “” in his explosive memoir Spare, accidentally published in Spain. unfavorable representation” she referred to last week.
But just hours earlier, in a UK interview that viewers said contained several contradictions, he told ITV’s Tom Bradby that he was not “scathing” towards Camilla in his book.
Harry’s contradictions included his dismissing previous allegations that the royal family was racist.
Bradby was visibly stunned – like millions of viewers – by his screeching about-face after earlier incendiary claims that an unnamed senior royal had raised concerns about his son Archie’s skin colour.
Addressing the 2021 Oprah interview with Meghan, the broadcaster said: “You have accused members of your family of racism.”
But Harry snapped back, “No, I didn’t. That’s what the British press said.
There was further disbelief when Harry Bradby said anything he says to William going forward will remain “private,” despite using his memoir, TV interviews, a Netflix documentary and a prime-time Oprah special to get the beans spilling over what his family said about him and Meghan behind closed doors.
He also insisted to Cooper that he “never intended to hurt his family” with the contents of his book.
The CBS interview came hours after an extended meeting with ITV in the UK, in which he told his friend Bradby that his family was “complimentary” in the “pain and suffering” inflicted on his wife Meghan and that she was associated with “abusers.” “ compared. .
He suggested they helped “damage” his and Meghan’s reputations, forced them to move to California and “showed no willingness to reconcile.”
Harry also said there were a lot of stereotypes about Meghan after she was introduced to the royal family because she was an “American actress, divorced, multiracial”. But in a contradictory interview, he later insisted the royal family was not racist – despite the claim being the focus of the Sussexes’ Oprah interview in 2021.
