London: As he promotes a new book that reveals his life behind palace walls, Prince Harry has accused his stepmother, Camilla, the queen consort, of leaking private conversations to the media for her own reputation.

Harry accused members of the royal family of "getting into bed with the devil" in interviews that were aired on Sunday and Monday. Harry singled out Camilla's efforts to repair her reputation with the British people following her long-running affair with his father, now King Charles III.

Because of the connections she was developing within the British press, that made her dangerous, he told CBS. "Both parties were willing to freely exchange information. There would be people or bodies left in the street because of the hierarchy in the family and the fact that she was on the path to becoming queen consort.

Harry appeared on "60 Minutes" on CBS, "Good Morning America," and Britain's ITV to discuss his soon-to-be-public book "Spare." To meet demand for the eagerly awaited memoir, which has sparked controversy with reports that it contains details of sour family feuds and Harry and his wife Meghan's decision to forgo their royal title, some UK bookshops intend to open at midnight.

Harry frequently blamed the media in the interviews for the issues the Duke and Duchess of Sussex were having, claiming that the coverage was a factor in their falling out with his brother Prince William and his wife, Kate.

He claimed to Good Morning America, "They always pitted us against each other." "They pit Meghan and Kate against one another."

Harry was also unapologetically pursuing legal action against some British media outlets. Harry asserted that altering the UK media landscape is "my life's work," despite his father's belief that doing so is "probably a suicide mission."

Harry nonetheless persisted in criticising the royal family as a whole.
After getting married to biracial American actress Meghan Markle, he reiterated his claim that there was "concern" in the royal family about the skin colour of his unborn child. The incident was first brought up by Harry and Meghan in a 2021 interview with Oprah Winfrey, but they haven't revealed which member of the family expressed concern.

Although Harry insisted his family was not racist, he claimed the incident was an illustration of unconscious bias. Prior to meeting Meghan, the prince admitted to being "probably bigoted" to CBS and stated that the royal family, which is held to a higher standard of morality, needed to "learn and grow" in order to be "part of the solution rather than part of the problem."

Harry told ITV that if unconscious bias continues, it becomes racism.
In "Spare," Harry's grief over the passing of his mother in 1997 is explored, as is his long-simmering resentment at being the royal "spare" and being overshadowed by William, his older brother. He describes using cocaine and cannabis, as well as arguments and a physical altercation with William. He also discusses how he lost his virginity.
Additionally, he claims to have killed 25 Taliban fighters in Afghanistan while operating an Apache chopper, which has drawn criticism from both the Taliban and former British soldiers.

Because of her part in the tumultuous dissolution of Charles' marriage to the late Princess Diana, the mother of William and Harry, Camilla's allegations are especially sensitive.

Diana once referred to Camilla, Charles' long-term mistress, as the third person in their union. Although Camilla was initially despised by a large portion of the public, she has gained popularity by engaging in a variety of charitable endeavours. Camilla is also credited with making Charles seem less stuffy and more in touch with contemporary Britain.

Harry describes his complicated feelings about becoming a stepparent in a piece he wrote about his father's 2005 wedding to Camilla. "I believed that she had recently sacrificed me on her personal PR altar," he writes. But he insists that he wanted his father to be content.

Since leaving the royal life and relocating to California in 2020, Harry and Meghan have made a number of public statements, citing what they perceived to be the media's racism toward Meghan and a lack of support from the palace. Their most recent statement, "Spare," is the latest in this series. It comes after Winfrey's interview and a six-part Netflix series that was made available last month.

Harry, 38, writes about the couple's contentious separation from the royal family following the denial of their request for a part-time royal position in the ghostwritten memoir.

The royal family will undoubtedly feel more pressure as a result of the television interviews. Additionally, Harry will be seen on "The Late Show with Stephen Colbert."

The allegations have not been addressed by royal officials, but allies have responded to them, largely in an anonymous manner.
After years of "spin and distortion" by others, Harry has defended the memoir, saying it represents his attempt to "own my story." Harry said in the "60 Minutes" interview that his book wasn't meant to be a bad thing for his family.

Harry is giving the public the opportunity to see what happens behind the palace walls, according to Omid Scobie, co-author of the book "Finding Freedom," which is about the Duke and Duchess of Sussex.

Of course, there are drawbacks for those who have travelled alongside him,′′ Scobie told the BBC. We learned some really shocking confessions and tales about royal family members, particularly regarding Camilla and her interactions with the media.

Despite the fact that Harry claimed he hadn't spoken with his father or brother in a while, he still hopes to make amends. He did, however, say to ITV that "the ball is in their court." He declared, "They have shown absolutely no willingness to make amends."

While the saga is bad for the royal family, it may not be as bad as people think, and it will give a global audience a forum to talk about difficult topics like racism and misogyny, according to Boston University professor and modern British history expert Arianne Chernock.

However, she was wary of predictions that the monarchy itself was in trouble. After all, the institution has survived for more than a millennium.
This is an important part of the royal family's history, she said. Scandal is the rule rather than the exception.
