In his explosive memoir titled "Spare," released in January of the previous year, the Duke of Sussex unleashed a scathing critique against his estranged family. Among his allegations, Prince Harry claimed that Camilla Parker Bowles, his father's second wife, orchestrated the dissemination of information to the press in an attempt to elevate her own status within the Royal Family.
According to Prince Harry, both Charles and Camilla, along with their alleged "spin doctor," were responsible for leaking stories about his visit to a drug rehab center in 2002, effectively throwing him "right under the bus." These allegations have significantly strained his relationship with the Royal Family.
Reports indicate that Prince Harry's allegations against his estranged family have left him on edge, constantly worried about potential counter-attacks from the monarchy. Royal author Tom Quinn describes Harry as "paranoid," fearing that The Firm may betray him or engage in actions without his knowledge, ultimately tarnishing his reputation.
Furthermore, Prince Harry continued his barrage of accusations against his family during interviews to promote his memoir. He accused the Royal Family of having a questionable relationship with the British press, involving "briefings, leakings, and plantings." In an interview with ITV's Tom Bradby, Prince Harry even claimed that Camilla allegedly leaked one of her conversations with Prince William to the media.
Prince Harry asserted that his brother was "seething" over rumors that Charles, Camilla, and their spin doctor were leaking stories about his private life. He expressed his frustration, stating, "Give Pa and Camilla an inch, he said, they take a mile."
The ongoing tensions and Prince Harry's revelations have undoubtedly strained his relationship with the Royal Family, leaving him in a state of constant unease during his UK visit.
