New Delhi: After his talked-about interview with Oprah Winfrey and his controversial docuseries titled ‘Harry & Meghan’, Prince Harry has stirred some more intriguing questions about the Royal Family with his new autobiography “Spare”. In his recent interview with Britain’s ITV channel, Harry said he had endured 38 years of “intentional spin and distortion”. And so now had decided to speak up against the media and public hassle he and his wife, the American actress Meghan Markle went through during their time as Duke and Duchess of Sussex.
After a successful season of The Crown, not just the British population but the masses globally developed an interest in the inner workings of the British Royal Family. Harry and Meghan have made their stance clear many times about how they felt and what they went through during that period and continue to go through. While their docuseries on Netflix, revealed a lot about the current relationships and all incidents that took place in detail, Prince Harry still has more to say.
Speaking in this interview Harry mentioned his mother’s funeral and the “complete silence” that existed in the midst of everything. He said he has been asked a lot of times about his mother’s death which has been a point of many conspiracy theories. Mentioning that there are a lot of things unexplained but there is no point in opening it up again.
While there was a lot of talk about the Royal Family being racist after indications made by Harry and Meghan. Harry mentioned that Meghan being biracial, American and an actress contributed to some “stereotyping” with everyone including his brother and sister-in-law. On Oprah Winfrey’s show, they made clear implications that their son being biracial did not sit well with the Royal Family. When questioned about this in his interview, Harry said the Royal Family isn’t racist but there are “unconscious biases”. Giving the example of a senior courtier Susan Hussey who in an interview repeatedly asked the black British charity worker, Ngozi Fulani where she was “really from”.
Speaking at length on his issue with the British media and tabloids, as he did in his Netflix show too, Harry said that they colluded with the palace accusing them of racism, cronyism and duplicity. He suggested that the negative coverage he and his wife get is a result of the legal action they took against them.
When asked about his purpose for doing all this he said his actions would have a “ripple effect across the world”. He said his father King Charles III and his brother Prince Williams were unlikely to read his book or watch the interview. He said he was in a good headspace and therefore chooses now to talk about these things. He mentioned how hard it has been for him, but in reality, he has never been happier. The masses especially in Britain have not responded well to this.
