‘Idiot’: Londoners react to Prince Harry’s book
Chances of a reconciliation between Prince Harry, King Charles, the Queen Consort and William is now “impossible” over fears anything they say to the duke will be shared with the press, The Independent can reveal.
“They are trapped,” a source close to the palace has said, adding that the royal family believe the fraught relations will go unchanged while the Duke of Sussex remains effectively “kidnapped by a cult of psychotherapy and Meghan Markle.”
And in a new interview with ABC News, the Duke of Sussex said he is “not angry anymore” as he attacked the press.
It comes after the Duke of Sussex opened up about his new memoir, Spare, which is said to feature bombshell revelations about his relationship with the royal family, during an interview with Good Morning America’s (GMA) Michael Strahan on Monday 9 January.
During their conversation, Harry attacked what he alleged was Camilla’s attempts to “rehabilitate” her image, after being cast as the “third person” in his parents’ marriage, but also sympathised with her, saying in the interview with GMA that she is not an “evil stepmother”.
Protesters in Afghanistan have demanded Prince Harry be “put on trial” after he claimed to have killed 25 people in the south Asian country while serving in the military.
The Duke of Sussex claims in his forthcoming memoir Spare that he killed Taliban militants while serving as an Apache helicopter copilot gunner in Afghanistan in 2012-13.
He likened the killings to “chess pieces removed from the board” and claimed those he had killed were “bad people eliminated before they could kill good people”.

Opinion: The detail in the Harry and William revelations everyone is missing
In his forthcoming memoir Spare, Prince Harry claims Prince William attacked him during an argument at the younger brother’s Nottingham Cottage home in 2019. The first person the Duke of Sussex called after the physical fight was not his wife – who was the main subject of the brothers’ alleged squabble – but his therapist.

However, despite Prince Harry’s latest attacks on the media, which come on the eve of the release of his memoir Spare, he told Michael Strahan that he is “not angry anymore”.
“I’m not angry anymore. There are things that will still anger me, but I’m not angry anymore because I am exactly where I am supposed to be,” he said.

While criticising the British media, the duke took the opportunity to praise the King of Norway and the King of the Netherlands, who he said have “led by example”.
“I congratulate them for that, enormously,” Prince Harry said of the respective rulers’ actions to address racism and unconscious bias. “And I don’t think they’ve gotten enough credit for what they’ve done.”

In a new ABC special titled: “Prince Harry: In His Own Words,” the Duke of Sussex spoke with Michael Strahan about his relationship with his stepmother, the British press, and his brother and father.
During the interview, Prince Harry focused a large amount of his criticism at the media, with the duke claiming he was “naive” not to realise that the “race element was going to come in so fast”.
“The UK is not bigoted, the British press is bigoted,” he told Strahan.
