A broadcaster has criticized Prince Harry’s dramatic advances for interviews with Anderson Cooper and Tom Bradby, ahead of the release of his upcoming book Spare, as “whining”.
Speaking on Good Morning Britain, Esther Krakue slammed the Duke of Sussex by turning what she sees as a “family problem” into a “show business”.
The 26-year-old Talk TV contributor criticized the royal and his wife Meghan Markle for continuing to speak to the press about “their truth”, insisting that “adults” should “move on”.
However, broadcaster Nina Myskow insisted that Harry has a “perfect right to express his opinion” and “tell his story as he sees it”, citing how his parents did the same.
Esther called Oprah’s interview “the tackiest thing I’ve ever seen in my entire life” and called the couple’s latest Netflix documentary “an extended episode of Jerry Springer.”
“They said they wanted to leave the royal family to make their own way, to do good,” he told Susanna Reid and Richard Madeley. They have done nothing good, they have spent the last two years complaining and complaining.
The presenter added that she believes the couple is “harassing the royal family”.
“And now you have the audacity to say you want your family back?” she asked.
‘They have a very nice mansion in California, why don’t you stay there with your children and your chicken coops and keep your mouth shut?’
The 26-year-old Talk TV contributor criticized the royal and his wife Meghan Markle (both pictured) for continuing to speak to the press about “their truth”, insisting that “adults” should “move on”.
Speaking on Good Morning Britain, Esther Krakue (pictured right, alongside Nina Myskow) has slammed the Duke of Sussex by turning what she sees as a “family problem” into a “show business”.
He also stated that the public will never know the full truth about the problems Harry and Meghan are facing, as the royal family will not “dignify this tantrum with a response, as they shouldn’t”.
However, not everyone was so critical of the duke’s publicity blitz, with Nina arguing: “Princess Diana told her story in 1992 to Andrew Morton…and then in 1994 Prince Charles did it himself.” he added, referencing the televised interview with Jonathan Dimbleby.
Announcer Nina Myskow (pictured) insisted that Harry has a “perfect right to express his opinion”.
In a book, which she said was authorized by the former Prince of Wales, Nina, 76, also said Carlos “made very clear what a difficult childhood he had.”
She continued: ‘Did you hear [Harry] say there…it’s the leak and lack of support…and it’s there for all to see…
“If we care about the royal family, then we should care about how they behave.”
The presenter also defended the duke’s choice to go public with personal matters, commenting: “Harry has said he’s tried to work it out in private and he can’t, which is why he’s gone public…

“They have been poorly treated… by the media informed by the Palace… they have been expelled, they have the right to say what they have been through.”
It comes as Harry said he “would like my father and brother back” when launching an ad campaign for his memoir this week.
The Duke of Sussex was interviewed by ITV’s Tom Bradby and CBS News’ Anderson Cooper ahead of Spare’s launch next week, with short previews for both shows.
Speaking to Tom in a clip where no questions can be heard, Harry says “it never had to be like this” and refers to “leak and planting” before adding, “I want a family, not an institution.”

He also said, in an apparent reference to the royals, “they feel it’s better to keep us the villains in some way” and that they “have shown absolutely no willingness to reconcile.”
Harry’s new attacks on the royal family threaten to further damage his relationship with William, which according to sources is already “hanging by a thread”.
The 38-year-old royal also spoke with American television personality Anderson Cooper for his popular talk show, 60 Minutes, with both interviews taking place at a ranch in Montecito.
A trailer shows Anderson asking why Harry hadn’t aired his grievances against the royal family in private instead of going public, to which the royal responded: “Every time I’ve tried to do it in private, there have been briefings, leaks and plantations of stories against me and my wife.

“The family motto is never complain and never explain, it’s just a motto.”
And he added: ‘They [Buckingham Palace] you’ll feed or have a conversation with a correspondent, and that correspondent will literally spoon up information and write the story, and at the end, they’ll say they contacted Buckingham Palace for comment.
“But the whole story is commented on by Buckingham Palace.
“So when we’ve been told for the last six years, ‘we can’t put out a statement to protect you,’ but you do it for other family members, there comes a point where silence is betrayal. ‘
The clips appear to confirm reports that Harry will use his memories to reveal details about disagreements between him and his brother, the 40-year-old Prince of Wales.
It comes after the duke claimed in his Netflix documentary that William broke a promise never to leak stories or inform each other after witnessing the consequences of such actions in his father’s office.
Tom, a former royal correspondent for ITV, is a friend of the Sussexes and previously interviewed them for a documentary about their 2019 tour of Africa.
She first met Harry when she worked with him on a documentary about Lesotho when the prince was on his sabbatical after leaving Eton.
The journalist attended his 2018 wedding to Meghan.
Filmed in California, where the duke now lives, ITV told Harry: The Interview will go into “unprecedented depth and detail” about his life inside and outside the royal family.
Meanwhile, Anderson is said to have earned Harry’s trust through his stance on issues close to his heart like mental health.
The 55-year-old, who is also a star on CNN, has campaigned for better mental health and hosts a podcast called All There Is. He has talked about losing his brother Carter to suicide.
The 23-year-old died when he fell from the family’s 14th-floor Manhattan apartment in 1988. Anderson Cooper also has war experience, having reported from Afghanistan, where Harry completed two tours of duty.
A television source said: ‘Mr Cooper has earned Harry’s trust. This would be a blow to Cooper and fits well with Harry’s campaign to promote mental health. It is a Sunday prime time show featuring foreign leaders and presidents. It is the one that all politicians and decision makers look at.’
