In US interview to promote book, Duke of Sussex also points finger at Camilla but says she is not an ‘evil stepmother’
Prince Harry has described how he “can’t ever get out” of the royal family, but he does not believe it will ever be possible for him and the Duchess of Sussex to return to the UK as working royals.
“Even if there is an agreement, or an arrangement between me and my family, there is that third party that is going to do everything they can to make sure that isn’t possible,” he told host Michael Strahan, implying he was referring to the media and competing royal press offices. “Not stopping us going back, but making it unsurvivable.”
Harry has attacked what he alleged was Camilla’s attempts to “rehabilitate” her image in several interviews, after she was cast as the “third person” in his parents’ marriage. But he told Strahan he also sympathised with her, saying she was not an “evil stepmother”. Asked what Camilla had “done” at that point, Harry replied: “I have a huge amount of compassion for her, you know. Being the third person within my parents’ marriage and 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.”
He told ABC he was “stunned” that public funding of security for him and his family was withdrawn after he left Britain.
