Prince Harry fled to California with Meghan because the “poisonous” British press was “destroying his mental health”: it is the sensational attack launched by Diana’s son against the media during an interview without restraints aired last night on American TV.

The interview with James Corden, the popular US conductor, took place largely aboard an open-top bus around Los Angeles: and Harry at one point even “rapped” on the notes of the theme song of “The Prince of Bel Air”, the TV series with Will Smith. It was a surprise public release, which somehow “burned” Meghan and Harry’s highly-announced TV interview with Oprah Winfrey, the queen of US talk shows, which has already been recorded and will air on March 7: a confession with respect to which the Royal Family has already been advised to “hide behind the sofa”.

And the taste that took place last night confirms that the Dukes of Sussex no longer have inhibitions. Harry denied that theirs was an escape: “I took a step back. It was a really tough environment and I did what any father or husband would do. And I thought, ‘How do I get my family out of there?’ Harry also revealed that he has had multiple video calls on Zoom with the Queen and Prince Philip and that his wife Meghan confidentially calls him “Haz”. He then added that his son Archie makes him die of laughter and that his first word was “crocodile”.

The prince admitted that he watched the TV series “The Crown” but he was forced to defend Netflix, which produced it, from accusations of inaccuracy: after all, the Sussexes have signed a $ 100 million contract with Netflix. And so Harry argued that the series “isn’t strictly accurate but gives an insight into that kind of life and the pressures that come with putting duty and service above all else.” And in this regard it should be remembered that the dukes of Sussex have just been deprived of any public role in the royal family: a decision to which they reacted with an insulting statement against the queen, to whom they had the audacity to reply that “the service is universal “. And also in last night’s interview Harry argues that “my life is a public service, so wherever I am in the world it will be the same.” Even if it is not clear how the decision to launch into a whole series of lucrative commercial activities falls within the idea of public service. The timing of this TV release was also criticized. Last night the queen made a sensational speech, speaking in public, via video, of the need to be vaccinated without hesitation: but Harry’s interview now risks clouding his words.
