King Charles and Camilla break social media silence after Prince Harry’s explosive interview

King Charles and Camilla have today ignored Prince Harry’s explosive interview as they wish Princess Kate a happy birthday. The monarch and his wife, the Queen Consort, have shared a tweet as they break their social media silence in the wake of the Harry interview.

The pair sent well-wishes to Kate in a show of unity with the Princess of Wales, who is also Duchess of Cambridge and Duchess of Cornwall. “Wishing The Princess of Wales a very Happy Birthday today!” the Royal Family tweeted.

It comes after Prince Harry’s ITV and CBS interviews overnight. Omid Scobie, author of Finding Freedom, a book on the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, said the frankness of Harry’s memoir is the result of a man who for all of his life “hasn’t been able to share a word of it”.

He told BBC Radio 4’s Today programme: “He’s watched other people tell that story over and over again, including journalists such as myself. I think this is Harry finally wanting to put his voice on the historical royal record.

“Of course, that does come with some downsides for those who have been part of his journey. We heard some sort of really startling confessions and stories about members of the royal family, particularly when it comes to Camilla and her relationship with the press. This is really just Harry sort of pulling the curtain back on it all. We’re actually getting, I guess, the look behind palace walls that we’ve always wanted.”

Harry, in an interview with US show CBS’s 60 Minutes, launched into his fiercest criticism yet of his stepmother on US TV last night. The duke wrote in his memoir Spare that Camilla “sacrificed me on her personal PR altar”.

He told interviewer Anderson Cooper: “She was the villain, she was a third person in the marriage, she needed to rehabilitate her image.” He added: “The need for her to rehabilitate her image…that made her dangerous because of the connections that she was forging within the British press.

“And there was open willingness on both sides to trade information and with a family built on hierarchy, and with her on the way to being Queen Consort, there was going to be people or bodies left in the street because of that.”
