Harry interviews LIVE: Duke of Sussex tells Good Morning America divide between him and royal family ‘couldn’t be greater’

The royal family has faced yet more accusations from Prince Harry after the Duke of Sussex’s latest interview publicising his memoir Spare aired on Monday.

In the interview, which went out ABC News’s Good Morning America on Monday afternoon, the Duke of Sussex also said the divide between him and his family “couldn’t be greater”.

Asked about whether he thinks his book will bring his father and brother back to him or whether it will widen the divide, the duke said: “I thought about it long and hard, and as far as I see it the divide couldn’t be greater before this book.”

Harry said that if reconciliation does not happen, he will focus on his life and family.

“I’m not angry any more. There are things that will still anger me, but I’m not angry any more, because I am exactly where I am supposed to be,” he said.

Harry also claimed the Queen Consort “sacrificed me on her personal PR altar”.

He 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 Michael Strahan that she is not an “evil stepmother”.

It was the third of four interviews carried out with Harry going out this week to mark the official release his book on Tuesday.

In Sunday night’s interview with ITV’s Tom Bradby, the duke attacked close members of the royal family for “getting into bed with the devil” in forging relationships with the tabloid press “to rehabilitate their image”.

He also criticised “family members” for a “really horrible reaction” on the day the Queen died with claims of “briefings”, “leakings” and “planting”.

But the most controversial comment appears to have been his denial that he accused the royal family of racism in his Oprah interview.

In a second interview that went out overnight, Harry told CNN’s Anderson Cooper that Camilla had been cast as the “villain” and claimed a need for her to “rehabilitate her image” made her “dangerous because of the connections that she was forging within the British press”.
