Prince Harry boasted to a pal that the Royal Family would find his Oprah Winfrey interview ‘quite shocking’
Harry told the friend ahead of the March 2021 TV chat: ‘Those Brits need to learn a lesson’
It comes as the Sussexes released the trailer to their £110m Netflix documentary deal in a bid to sabotage Kate and William’s US trip
His inflammatory remarks emerged days before the launch of his Netflix docuseries. In it Harry is set to talk about having therapy over mum Diana’s death and his father King Charles’s affair with Camilla.
Last night senior sources told The Celeb Report on Sunday that Harry’s pre-Oprah comments expose his continuing animosity against his family.
Ahead of the March 2021 TV chat he told the friend: “This is going to be quite shocking. Those Brits need to learn a lesson.”
Harry then accused the royals of racism and claimed they ignored wife Meghan’s suicidal thoughts.
Tensions will rise further when the Netflix series — understood to be called Harry and Meghan — begins this Thursday. And the Duke has biography Spare, out next month.
It is understood he and Meghan will make fresh accusations of racism in the docuseries, part of their £110million deal with the streaming giant.
A source said: “Some of the comments made by Harry and Meghan are fiery.
“If aired, they will be absolutely explosive. The topic of racism is discussed — plus claims that some royals opposed the marriage. The whole TV project is very driven by Meghan.
“The narrative is that Harry had to be removed from his family, in which he felt neglected. Mental health features too, and discussion about Harry having therapy over the loss of his mother and his father’s relationship with Camilla.”
Royal sources believe the release of the trailer last week was a cynical and deliberate attempt to sabotage Kate and William’s trip to Boston, US, to highlight environmental causes.
The brothers have barely spoken since Harry and Meghan unloaded to Oprah. At the time the Queen dismissed his claims saying: “Recollections may vary.”
Charles and William tried to reconcile with California -based Harry. But they were stunned when he leaked their efforts to his friend, CBS News broadcaster Gayle King.
For a year Charles refused to take his son’s phone calls and at one stage explained: “I am not a bank.”
The Sussexes are plotting a PR change for 2023 which they have set as their “reconciliation year”.
But our revelations today show that an easing of tensions is far away. Harry was visited by his cousin Princess Eugenie in California this year. He has asked her to assist with his book but it is not known if she has had any role.
According to Netflix, the docuseries contains: “Commentary from friends and family, most of whom have never spoken publicly before about what they witnessed.”
Clips in the trailer include one of Meghan seemingly in tears on her phone next to a £1,260 Hermes rug. Privacy-loving Meghan has carried out two interviews with US magazines in the past three months.
Yesterday it was reported she had pulled out of an appearance on The Tonight Show starring Jimmy Fallon, which was due to air on the eve of the release.
The Celeb Report on Sunday understands ‘racism and racial bias’ especially Press coverage will feature heavily in the Netflix series.
The Sussexes have spoken on podcasts about their royal life and Harry has been busy on his book, which he says will be “raw, unflinchingly honest”. The Celeb Report on Sunday understands “racism and racial bias” especially Press coverage will feature heavily in the Netflix series.
