Like his uncle, Charles Spencer, who spoke so distressingly about Diana at the service in Westminster Abbey in 1997, he thinks the tabloid media – the paps, the royal reporters, the editors – have blood on their hands, writes Sean O’Grady.

Protesters in Afghanistan have demanded Prince Harry be “put on trial” after he claimed to have killed 25 people in the south Asian country while serving in the military.

The Duke of Sussex claims in his forthcoming memoir Spare that he killed Taliban militants while serving as an Apache helicopter copilot gunner in Afghanistan in 2012-13.

He likened the killings to “chess pieces removed from the board” and claimed those he had killed were “bad people eliminated before they could kill good people”.

On Monday (9 January), Prince Harry’s bodyguards were spotted carrying a Glock safe, which is used to carry guns and ammunition.

The Duke of Sussex travelled to Manhattan for an interview with The Late Show’s Stephen Colbert to promote his new memoir, Spare.

In his forthcoming memoir Spare, Prince Harry claims Prince William attacked him during an argument at the younger brother’s Nottingham Cottage home in 2019. The first person the Duke of Sussex called after the physical fight was not his wife – who was the main subject of the brothers’ alleged squabble – but his therapist.

However, despite Prince Harry’s latest attacks on the media, which come on the eve of the release of his memoir Spare, he told Michael Strahan that he is “not angry anymore”.

“I’m not angry anymore. There are things that will still anger me, but I’m not angry anymore because I am exactly where I am supposed to be,” he said.

While criticising the British media, the duke took the opportunity to praise the King of Norway and the King of the Netherlands, who he said have “led by example”.

“I congratulate them for that, enormously,” Prince Harry said of the respective rulers’ actions to address racism and unconscious bias. “And I don’t think they’ve gotten enough credit for what they’ve done.”

In a new ABC special titled: “Prince Harry: In His Own Words,” the Duke of Sussex spoke with Michael Strahan about his relationship with his stepmother, the British press, and his brother and father.

During the interview, Prince Harry focused a large amount of his criticism at the media, with the duke claiming he was “naive” not to realise that the “race element was going to come in so fast”.

“The UK is not bigoted, the British press is bigoted,” he told Strahan.
