Prince Harry says he was probably ‘bigoted’ before falling in love with Meghan

Prince Harry has admitted that he was probably intolerant before his relationship with Meghan Markle.

The Duke of Sussex, 38, sat down with television host Anderson Cooper on CBS News’ 60 Minutes in a new interview to be released on Sunday to discuss his explosive memory Spare.

“I went into this incredibly naive,” Harry told Cooper. He had no idea that the British press was so intolerant. Hell, he was probably intolerant before his relationship with Meghan.

Harry opened up about Meghan’s struggle with the press, which may have made it difficult for the Duchess to adjust to her life as a royal.

“What Meghan had to go through was similar in part to what Kate and Camila [Queen Consort] I’m going through. Very different circumstances, but then you add the element of racing, which is what the press, the British press, jumped on immediately,” Harry said.

Asked by Cooper to confirm if he was intolerant before meeting Meghan, Harry replied: “I don’t know.” Let’s put it this way, I didn’t see what I see now.

In another clip posted earlier this week, Harry spoke about the damaging allegations made against his family during the Netflix documentary of the bombing.

Harry defended himself and Meghan from public criticism of their decision to publicly criticize the royal family.

The duke insisted that he has “tried to do this in private” but that “every time there have been briefings and leaks.”

“You know, the family motto is ‘never complain, never explain’, but it’s just a motto and it doesn’t really stick,” he said.

Asked by Cooper if there had been “a lot of complaining and a lot of explaining through leaks,” Harry stated, “Through leaks.” They will feed or have a conversation with the correspondent and that correspondent will be literally spoon-fed information and write the story.

And at the end, they will say that they have contacted Buckingham Palace for comment. But the whole story is a Buckingham Palace commentary.

Harry’s upcoming autobiography is said to be so cutting on his brother William that the couple may not be able to reconcile their differences after its release on January 10. Spare is reported to see King Charles III escape harsh criticism.

But it’s so difficult for the Prince of Wales that experts fear the sibling relationship, which has strained considerably since Harry and Meghan Markle announced they were stepping down from their royal duties, will not recover.

The book will be published just weeks after he and his wife Meghan published his Netflix series detailing their relationship and separation from the royal familywhile reports have surfaced that Meghan is also planning to release her own explosive memoir.

The Duchess of Sussex “is contemplating being completely candid about her time in the royal spotlight…and leaving no stone unturned,” according to a source.

In 2021, the couple reportedly signed a four-book deal with publisher Penguin Random House.

Prince Harry is said to have received a $20 million advance for Spare.
