While Meghan couched a lot of her accusations and issues in vagueries, when he joined the interview halfway through, Harry seemed happier to be more specific about the targets of his anger.
He was barely onscreen before he aired his annoyance at security being removed from them in Canada and their location being revealed “courtesy of the Daily Mail”.
Later, Harry admits “The UK press – and the UK is my home – I’ve got my own relationship that goes back a long way with the media”. And this certainly is the lens through which the Duke of Sussex views the press.
He lays blame of the lack of family support squarely at the door of the press: “I’m acutely aware of where my family stand and how scared they are of the tabloids turning on them”.
In the interview he evokes memories of his mother – the press coverage being a “constant barrage” leading to “history repeating itself ” before clarifying “I’m talking about my mother”.
Harry somewhat snarkily drops in a reference “Before he stopped taking my calls” about the Prince of Wales. When questioned about Prince Charles’ apparent lack of support, Harry gives an agonisingly long pause before suggesting that “he’s been through something similar”.
His further insistence that Diana, his late mother, “would feel very angry how this has panned out” which seems unconnected to his appraisal of William, his brother, is that they are “on different paths” and that their “relationship is space at the moment”
