Gloating Harry Boasts of Shocking Royal Family in Oprah Interview
Prince Harry has been caught boasting to a friend about how the royal family would be shocked by his Oprah Winfrey interview.
He also criticized the British people, saying they need to learn a lesson.
These inflammatory remarks have surfaced just days before the launch of his Netflix docuseries.
In it, Harry is set to discuss his therapy sessions following his mother Diana's death, and his father King Charles's affair with Camilla.
Senior sources have revealed that Harry's pre-Oprah comments expose his continuing animosity against his family.
Ahead of the March 2021 TV chat, he told his friend that the interview would be “quite shocking,” and that the British people “need to learn a lesson.”

During the interview, Harry accused the royals of racism and claimed they ignored his wife Meghan's suicidal thoughts.
Tensions are expected to rise further when the Netflix series, titled Harry and Meghan, premieres this Thursday.
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex are set to make fresh accusations of racism in the docuseries, as part of their £110m deal with the streaming giant.
A source has revealed that some of the comments made by Harry and Meghan are fiery and explosive.
The whole TV project is said to be very driven by Meghan, with the narrative focusing on Harry's feelings of neglect within his family, and his mental health struggles.
There will also be discussions about Harry's therapy sessions following the loss of his mother, and his father's relationship with Camilla.
Royal sources believe that the release of the trailer last week was a cynical and deliberate attempt to sabotage Kate and William's trip to Boston, US, to highlight environmental causes.
The brothers have barely spoken since Harry and Meghan's interview with Oprah.
At the time, the Queen dismissed Harry's claims, saying “recollections may vary.”
Charles and William tried to reconcile with Harry, but were stunned when he leaked their efforts to his friend, CBS News broadcaster Gayle King.
For a year, Charles refused to take his son's phone calls and at one stage explained, “I am not a bank.”
The Sussexes are reportedly planning a PR change for 2023, which they have set as their reconciliation year.
However, these revelations show that an easing of tensions is far away.
Harry was visited by his cousin Princess Eugenie in California this year, and has asked her to assist with his book, although it is not known if she has had any role.
According to Netflix, the docuseries will feature commentary from friends and family, most of whom have never spoken publicly before about what they witnessed.
Clips in the trailer include one of Meghan seemingly in tears on her phone next to a £1,260 Hermes rug.
Privacy-loving Meghan has carried out two interviews with US magazines in the past three months.
Yesterday it was reported she had pulled out of an appearance on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, which was due to air on the eve of the release.
The Sussexes have spoken on podcasts about their royal life, and Harry has been busy on his book, which he says will be raw and unflinchingly honest.
The Sun on Sunday understands that racism and racial bias, especially press coverage, will feature heavily in the Netflix series.
This comes after Prince William's godmother, Lady Susan Hussey, stepped aside from a royal honorary role after accusations she was racist against a UK-born charity guest at Buckingham Palace last week.
