Prince Harry cleared himself of attacking Camilla, wife of his father Charles III and queen consort, in his autobiography,
The Substitute
, but he still did not miss it during his interview on CBS.
Faced with journalist Anderson Cooper, the Duke of Sussex indeed claimed that his mother-in-law had sold stories to the press that were not very good about him and his brother, Prince William.
The goal ?
Make the public forget the image of the "Rottweiler", as the British press dubbed it.
According to Prince Harry, Camilla is even "dangerous because of the connections she has forged with the British press".
He gave the example of the discussion they had with their father, who asked their opinion on his remarriage.
Princes William and Harry both told their father he didn't need to marry Camilla.
Everyone had a discussion with the one who was then the companion of Charles and the words of William, held in private with his mother-in-law, ended up in the tabloids.
Buckingham's complicated defense
“The connections she has forged with the British press make her dangerous.
And there was an open will, on both sides, to exchange information.
The family being built on hierarchy, and her on her way to becoming queen consort, there were going to be bodies left on the side of the road because of that,” he said, adding that he was “ sacrificed on the altar of Camilla's personal promotion.
"If you think, as a family member, that being on the cover with a positive headline will improve your reputation or increase your chances of being accepted as a monarch by the British public, then that's what you go do it,” he said.
A controversial lunch
If Buckingham Palace did not react to Prince Harry's remarks, Camilla's recent outings will be very difficult to defend.
A few days before the publication of a hate editorial towards Meghan Markle, the queen consort had lunch with the
Sun
journalist who is responsible for it, Jeremy Clarkson, but not only.
At this meal was also Piers Morgan, a conservative columnist, who worked for the Daily Mail (a publication that lost a lawsuit against the Sussex couple), who never misses an opportunity to shoot the former
Suits
actress .
And the presence of actors Judi Dench, Maggie Smith and Hugh Bonneville at this meeting will not appease the questions of the British, slightly annoyed by all this display and who wonder where their taxes go for the crown while food banks are in saturation, as are hospital services and rail traffic is also on strike.
