As expected, the British newspapers give a place of honor this Monday to the latest revelations of Prince Harry. Two interviews with the Duke of Sussex aired on the Sunday before the release of his memoir, alternate (Fayard), this Tuesday. These interviews (one given to the American channel CBS, the other to the English channel ITV) brought their share of startling revelations… and triggered the ire of the British press, very upset against the couple.
One of Harry’s statements occupies the front page of various tabloids. Almost two years after the prince and his wife Meghan gave an interview to Oprah Winfrey, in which they revealed that a member of the royal family had raised concerns about the color of their unborn child’s skin, Meghan was mixed race, said Harry on Sunday. that he had never accused the monarchy of being racist. He would have simply pointed out the “unconscious biases” of the royal family, and “the British press” would have seen an accusation of racism. A subtle nuance that did not convince the newspapers:
“Harry’s bizarre TV statement: ‘We have never called the Royal Family racist,'” the Sun wrote on the front page, before joking: “Um…recollections of this may vary.”
“Harry’s New Bomb: ‘I Didn’t Say Royals Were Racist’,” the cover read. daily mirror. “Harry finally recognizes that the royal family is not racist,” the royal exults. daily express.
the daily mail, meanwhile, focuses on other things the Duke of Sussex has to say. “Harry: ‘my family participated in the exclusion of Meghan'”, can be read in Uno. The youngest son of King Carlos reiterated on Sunday his accusations of links between the royal family and the tabloid press. According to him, his relatives actively collaborated with the media to paint an unflattering portrait of his wife.
The paper also features an editorial headlined: “Diana would have been horrified by Harry’s petty desire for revenge.”
the guardian he only dedicates a footnote to Harry and focuses on his unkind words towards his mother-in-law, Queen Consort Camilla. He claimed that some details of private conversations published in the media “could only have been leaked” by her, writing in her book that she “sacrificed him on her PR altar.” “Harry unleashes his fury on Camilla”, write the diary.
A reconciliation? The press is skeptical
If Prince Harry claims to want to reconcile with his father and brother, iNews doesn’t seem to believe it. For the British newspaper, “the new interviews with Prince Harry will deepen the gap between members of the royal family.”
For almost a week, the revelations of the Substitute (put on sale on Thursday by mistake for a few hours in Spain) make the monarchy and the British press tremble. The 38-year-old Duke of Sussex calls William a “beloved brother and sworn enemy” and accuses him of knocking him to the ground during a 2019 argument about Meghan.
He also accuses his brother and his wife Kate of having “prejudice” towards Meghan, a mixed-race American actress, who “created an obstacle” to fully accept her into the family. He also reiterates his accusations against certain members of the royal family whom he considers “accomplices” of articles hostile to him and his wife, according to AFP.
