Prince Harry defends tell-all memoir in furious ITV interview (The Guardian)

King, queen consort and Prince William all criticised as Harry says silence 'allows the abuser to abuse'

It was an “heir/spare thing”, Harry said and also, he thought, because William had himself been asked to shave off a beard while in uniform. The Queen agreed, after Harry explained his beard was “a shield to my anxiety”. He also said [the incident involving charity founder Ngozi Fulani and Lady Susan Hussey](https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2022/nov/30/buckingham-palace-aide-resigns-black-guest-traumatised-by-repeated-questioning) was “a very good example of the environment within the institution”. “I gave him the particulars, told him story after story. During their exchange, William swore “on Mummy’s life” that he just wanted Harry to be happy. But regarding the tabloid press, he said “certain members have decided to get in bed with the devil” to rehabilitate their own images. William and Kate, he said, had suffered from this “from my father and stepmother, or their office”. His words came after it was reported he claimed in his memoir that Meghan was “not welcome” at Balmoral. They could only have been leaked by the one other person present.” Shortly after our private summits with her, she began to play the long game. There’s no part of any of the things that I’ve said are scathing towards any member of my family, especially not my stepmother. There are things that have happened that have been incredibly hurtful, some in the past, some current.”
