He was very disappointed with his father's behavior. In the long interview given to Oprah Winfrey this Sunday evening on CBS, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle took the opportunity to settle their accounts with the British royal family. While Archie's mother, pregnant with their second child, revealed that she had had suicidal thoughts, her husband returned to the relationship he now has with his father, Prince Charles.
"I felt really disappointed because he went through something similar. He knows what the pain feels like," Harry said of his father who lost his wife Diana, who died on August 31, 1997 in an accident. car in Paris as she was chased by a horde of paparazzi. The youngest son of Charles and Lady Di would have liked his father to support him more during the "smear campaign" which targeted his wife.
Harry says he has 'compassion' for his father and brother
He also revealed that he had three telephone conversations with Prince Charles before the latter stopped responding to him. Asked by Oprah Winfrey about the reasons for this radio silence, Harry explains that it is because he decided to take matters into his own hands. "I said to myself that I had to do this for my family. It's no surprise to anyone. It's really sad that it's come to this point, but I had to do something for my own mental health, for my woman, because I could see too well where we were heading, "detailed the 36-year-old grandson of the queen.
"Obviously, I will always love him," tempered Harry, who admits to having "a lot of compassion" for his father, but also for his older brother William, who he says are "prisoners" of the system. "They can't leave him," he lamented. He also explained that he had a very good relationship with his grandmother, Queen Elizabeth II, whom he did not "take by surprise" when he announced his withdrawal from the royal family. "My grandmother and I have a very good relationship and an understanding. And I have deep respect for her. She is my colonel-in-chief. She will remain so."
