Harry is ‘rubbing salt in the wounds’ of royals with his personal attacks and ‘campaign of blame’

Prince Harry has been accused of “throwing salt in his family’s wounds” with his sweeping accusations and “blame campaign”.

In his last television interview to cover up his explosive memoir, the prince claimed the royal family had launched a war against him, with the collusion of the British press, to undermine the credibility of his book.

Speaking on The Late Show in New York, the fifth in line to the throne, who has used his ghostwritten memoir and accompanying interviews to launch a series of virulent attacks on his family, claimed that his so-called truth bombs they made them feel ‘uncomfortable and scared’.

Asked by host Stephen Colbert if there is an “active campaign by the rest of your family, the royal house, if you will, to undermine this book and how you support it”, Harry replied: “Of course.” And mainly by the British press because they….’

Colbert interrupts: ‘But aided and abetted by the Palace?’

Harry replies: ‘Again, of course. This is the other side of the story, right? After 38 years they have told their story and this is the other side of the story. And there’s a lot of things here that maybe make people uncomfortable and scared.

Buckingham Palace has consistently refused to react to the prince’s provocation, believing that there is nothing to be gained, particularly when it comes to the hope of one day healing family relations, by going into a public eye with the angry prince. .

But those who are aware of the break in his relationship with his family, who have refrained from criticizing him out of respect for the King, believe that he has now crossed a line.

They are particularly angry at Harry’s refusal to take any responsibility for his own actions and at his “willful ignorance” in refusing to acknowledge how hurtful his increasingly bitter attacks on family members have become.

A source, who did not want to be named, said: “His is a one-sided truth, unfortunately. Harry clearly believes what he says.

“The problem is that nobody else acknowledges much of it, particularly when it comes to events surrounding his and Meghan’s departure from the royal family.

‘The reason he and Meghan left was not because they were forced to leave, as they claim, or because they dramatically fled for their lives. It was simply because the Royal Family and the institution would not do everything they wanted them to do.

“This latest interview is just another salvo in his blame campaign.”

Another added: ‘Apart from how much of what he alleges is even correct, this constant destruction of his family is just adding salt to his wounds. It’s really terribly unfair.

“At the center of it all is the story of a very sad family breakup, including Harry’s own, and one that will never have a happy ending unless it allows people some time and space to heal.”

In his last US TV appearance, Harry appeared on one of America’s most popular talk shows, taking part in an embarrassing skit that mocked royal lore.

The prince arrives at the New York studios to be greeted on a red carpet by two royal trumpeters wearing replicas of the uniforms of the State Trumpeters of the Household Cavalry.

The prince yells at Colbert in a show of mock humility, ‘Woah…stop. Stephen, it’s not necessary, but thank you, I appreciate it.

‘What are you talking about? This is not for you! the host replies, before urging Harry: ‘Get out of the way, he’s coming!’

Just then, actor Tom Hanks turns the corner and jokingly exclaims, ‘I’m back! Where’s my fanfare? while Harry throws rose petals at her.

In the dock, Harry, 38, agrees to drink shots of tequila to calm the nerves he must feel as a ‘reserved person’ at having to be a public face for his book.

He receives a remarkably warm reception from the public, especially when he invites them to join him. Colbert says, “They’re already on your side, man, you don’t have to get ’em drunk.”

Harry describes writing the book as a “cathartic experience” that brought back “old memories I didn’t even think I had”, before veering off into several rambling monologues about the British press.

He also claimed that “abuse and harassment” by the media, which was endorsed by Buckingham Palace, was the reason he and Meghan “were forced to leave.”

“We ran away from my home country,” he said dramatically of his decision to move to California and buy a multimillion-dollar mansion.

He suggests that both the media and the monarchy felt ‘threatened’ by their very existence, adding: ‘It was then that I realized that actually our very existence outside of that institutional control was more of a threat. And something similar… happened to my mom too.

“They always knew my wife was going to leave because of the way they abused her, but the most embarrassing thing was when I decided to go with her.”

At one point, he describes the interview, during which he was not asked questions that challenged his version of events, as therapy and jokingly held his interviewer’s hands.

He also plays for the audience, telling them what a “great place” America is to live, to loud whoops and cheers.

Harry also confirmed that many newspaper stories about his breaking up with his brother, denied at the time by the Palace on his behalf, were true, but said they were wrongly ‘attributed to his wife’.

The prince also showed off the now-famous necklace that broke when he claims William physically attacked him in a row over Meghan’s “difficult” behaviour, but it has now been repaired.

He showed two silver tags dangling from it that Meghan gave him engraved with images of her children’s heartbeats, plus a third showing a tiger’s eye that a friend in Botswana made for him.

Asked what his mother would have thought about the estrangement between the two brothers, Harry says he thinks it never would have gotten to that point if she had been alive.

The prince talks a lot about the extensive therapy he has received and how he has “unlocked” memories he had buried.

Surprisingly, he says he’s been using Diana’s favorite perfume as part of his treatment, saying: “Her scent, her perfume and spraying it and being able to unlock memories I never thought I had… but there are memories from before 12-Harry of a year i can never unlock and that sucks.

He added that when he started therapy he realized he was “speaking a different language” to the rest of his family and palace officials.
