Prince Harry has accused the Royal Family of being complicit in his wife Meghan's anguish, claiming his stepmother Camilla, the queen consort, had leaked private conversations to the media in order to burnish her own reputation.
In interviews broadcast Sunday, Harry accused members of the Royal Family of getting "into bed with the devil" to gain favourable tabloid coverage, singling out Camilla's efforts to rehabilitate her image with the British people after her longtime affair with his father, now King Charles III."That made her dangerous because of the connections that she was forging within the British press," he told CBS. "There was open willingness on both sides to trade information.
Harry insisted the family wasn't racist, but said the episode was an example of unconscious bias, adding that the Royal Family needed to "learn and grow" in order to be "part of the solution rather than part of the problem." He also says he killed 25 Taliban fighters while serving as an Apache helicopter pilot in Afghanistan -- a claim criticized by both the Taliban and British military veterans.
The television interviews are just two of several given by Harry that are set to pile more pressure on the Royal Family. He is also appearing on "Good Morning America" and "The Late Show with Stephen Colbert."
