Live updates: Prince Harry speaks to US and UK media outlets about his royal life to promote memoir Spare

Harry now says that was not racist but unconscious bias.

This is the first time that Harry and Meghan have made any effort to clarify their comment. He blamed the media for misreporting what they said.

He saved some of his harshest comments for Camilla, Queen consort, who he labelled the “evil stepmother”, who was “dangerous” because she was out to rehabilitate her image with the public after being the “third person” in Charles and Diana’s marriage.

Prince Harry repeated his claims that the British press was racist toward his wife Meghan and accused his brother William and sister-in-law Kate of perpetuating stereotypes about his wife, including that she was an American, an actress, a divorcee and biracial.

He condemned the palace for not doing enough to defend Meghan, including its silence when Jeremy Clarkson published a now-retracted piece wishing for Meghan to be pelted with excrement while she was made to walk naked through the streets.

At the heart of it all was the obvious trauma and grief that clearly affects Harry to this day caused by the loss of his mother in 1997.

Sadly, despite public perceptions that their shared grief made them close brothers, Harry revealed that there was a lot of sibling rivalry between them and that they did not spend a lot of time together growing up.

This became more pronounced when Harry was older and married, and he accused the royal family of driving he and Meghan away.

He insisted he was happy with his life in California but that his lifelong mission was to change the UK press.

And that’s all from me.

The book is out on Tuesday and no doubt there’ll be plenty more revelations or overshares.

Thanks for joining us.

“We haven’t spoken for quite a while,” he says.

He repeats his claim that he and Meghan will “openly apologise” for anything they have done wrong but they consistently don’t get any response when they ask this question.

He says the ball is in the court of his family and reiterates that he wants a relationship with them again.

And with a family built on hierarchy, and with her, on the way to being Queen Consort, there was gonna be people or bodies left in the street because of that,.

“If you need to do that, or you want to do that... That’s up to you.

“But the moment that that rehabilitation comes at the detriment of others… me… other members of my family, then that’s where I draw the line,” he said.

He says the royal family reads the British tabloid press and that the newspapers are laid out at breakfast.

He is rehashing a lot of what we’ve heard in the earlier ITV interview about requesting to see the images of Diana’s death in the car crash in Paris.

“All I saw was the back of my Mum’s head, slumped on the back of the back seat,” he says.

Until he was 23, he believed she might be alive, and have faked her death to escape media intrusion.
