It looks like there’s no love lost between this stepson and his allegedly wicked stepmother. Prince Harry is holding nothing back blasting Camilla, the Queen Consort.
During an interview with Anderson Cooper on Sunday night on “60 Minutes,” while promoting his much-hyped memoir “Spare,” Harry, 38, said that Camilla’s have to rehabilitate her image from being a “villain” within the British press made her “dangerous” to him, “Due to connections that she was forging inside the British press,” he said.
“And there was open willingness on either side to trade of knowledge. And with a family built on hierarchy, and along with her, on the strategy to being Queen consort, there was gonna be people or bodies left on the street due to that.”
Harry felt that he was considered one of these “bodies,” he told Cooper, 55, on “60 Minutes.” He further wrote in his book, “Camilla sacrificed me on her personal P.R. altar.”
Harry has previously spoken out about his family throwing him and Meghan Markle under the bus, with a view to make themselves look higher in the general public eye. Of their Netflix docuseries “Harry & Meghan,” Harry alleged that each his father Charles and his brother William leaked stories in regards to the couple to the media, and likewise engaged in “trading” stories. (As he explained, that’s when a member of the royal family offers the press a scoop on a special member, with a view to attempt to extinguish negative stories about themselves).
Harry said that he and William swore to never do that practice of “trading,” but William broke that promise.“To see my brother’s office copy the exact same thing we promised the 2 of us would never ever do, that was heartbreaking,” Harry said within the documentary.
Now, he’s stating that Camilla left him as a “body on the street” due to her need to present herself a greater image than being the “other woman” in King Charles’ and Princess Diana’s marriage.
After Camilla and Charles had a widely publicized affair that led to Charles and Diana divorcing, Charles and Camilla finally married in 2005. Prince Harry wasn’t comfortable about that, either, he dishes in his book, and neither was Prince William.
Meanwhile, “60 Minutes” co-host Cooper pressed Harry about why each brothers told their father to not marry Camilla. “We didn’t think it was needed,” he said. “We thought that it was gonna cause more harm than good. And that if he was now together with his person — surely that’s enough. Why go that far while you don’t necessarily have to?”
“Spare” comes out Jan. 10.
