Camilla ‘leaked stories to papers’
PRINCE HARRY has accused his stepmother Camilla of leaving “bodies in the street” in her efforts to become Queen Consort.
He said Camilla was “dangerous” because of her need to rehabilitate her image after being portrayed as “the villain” in his parents’ divorce. He also accused her of leaking stories to the press as he said members of his family have been “in bed with the devil”.
In an interview for the CBS show 60 Minutes, broadcast in the US last night, the Prince told Anderson Cooper that Camilla became a danger “because of the connections that she was forging within the British press. 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.”
In Spare, the Prince accuses his stepmother of using him to get better coverage in the press, saying his interests were “sacrificed on her PR altar”. He told Cooper: “If you are led to believe, as a member of the family, that being on the front page, having positive headlines, positive stories written about you, is going to improve your reputation or increase the chances of you being accepted as monarch by the British public, then that’s what you’re gonna do.” He earlier told ITV’S Tom Bradby: “After many, many years of lies being told about me and my family there comes a point where, going back to the relationship between certain members of the family and the tabloid press, those certain members have decided to get in bed with the devil, right? To rehabilitate their image.”
