The King's youngest son spoke with ITV's Tom Bradby to talk about some of the most important lines from his book
Prince Harry appeared in his first promo interviews for his upcoming memoir, Spare, and made a string of allegations about his life in the royal family - while also taking aim at his older brother, sister-in-law and stepmother.
Harry rejects calling royals racist in Oprah interview One of the most noteworthy claims in Harry's interview was when he contests calling the royal family racist after previously telling the public that a senior royal questioned the colour of his unborn son’s skin. Harry and wife Meghan rocked the British monarchy when they spoke of their abhorrence at “concerns and conversations about how dark his skin might be when he's born”.
Harry backs up royal aide who resigned over race row At another point in the chat, Harry defended a loyal aide of the late Queen, who became involved in a race row, describing her as "great". Lady Susan Hussey, 83, stood down as an honorary member of the royal household and apologised after charity boss Ngozi Fulani said she was constantly asked where she "really came from" at a Buckingham Palace reception.
Quizzed on what he meant by that, Harry continues: "American actress, and that was playing out in the British press in the media at the time as well. Harry then says he told his brother that he loved him too but that his "stubbornness is extraordinary" and recoiled from the conversation. He goes on to claim that William pulled him back and said: "Harold you must listen to me, I just want you to be happy, Harold, I swear, I swear on mummy’s life."
"Um, but the day that she died was – was – was just a really, really horrible reaction from my family members and then by all accounts, well certainly from what I saw and what other people probably experienced was they were on the back foot and then the briefings and the leaking and the planting, I was like ‘We're here to celebrate the life of granny and to mourn her loss, can we come together as a family?’ but I don’t know – I don’t know how we collectively – how we change that.
He said: "Just recently, which I know you know about, the Jeremy Clarkson article, so not only did, 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."
Harry remembers seeing Princess Diana in dreams Harry spoke candidly about how he worked through the death of his mother when he was just 12, saying he sees the late Princess in his dreams. Diana was killed in a car crash in Paris in August 1997. Harry says he refers to the condition as "post-traumatic stress injury" due to the fact he does not see himself as a person with a disorder. Tom proceeds to ask Harry about how he "bottled it up for years" and how the Duke of Sussex felt he couldn't even discuss his mother's death with his brother, Prince William.
"Um, the difference for me, if there was a difference, but the difference for me was, as I explained to my grandmother, that this beard I'm still – that I'm still wearing, felt to me at the time like the new Harry. Right? As almost like a shield to my anxiety.
