The latest episode of the BBC’s Happy Valley beat ITV’s much-anticipated interview with the Duke of Sussex in overnight ratings, figures show.
Harry: The Interview on ITV had an average audience of 4.1 million TV viewers, over 90 minutes, according to overnight figures released by the broadcaster.
By contrast, Happy Valley, which also began at 9pm on Sunday and ran for 60 minutes on BBC One, had an average of 5.3 million TV viewers.
The Duke of Sussex said he does not view the Queen Consort as an “evil stepmother”.
Speaking on Good Morning America, Harry said: “I have a huge amount of compassion for her, you know, being the third person within my parents’ marriage.
“She had a reputation, or an image, to rehabilitate.
“Whatever conversations happened, whatever deals or trading was made right at the beginning, she was led to believe that that would be the best way of doing it.”
Asked about what his relationship with Camilla is like now, Harry said: “We haven’t spoken for a long time. I love every member of my family, despite the differences, so when I see her we’re perfectly pleasant with each other.
“She’s my stepmother. I don’t look at her as an evil stepmother. I see someone who married into this institution and has done everything that she can to improve her own reputation and her own image for her own sake.”
