Prince Harry has been accused of turning the Royal Family ‘into an episode of the Kardashians’ – as social media reacts to his sit down with ITV.
The Duke of Sussex, 38, sat down with Tom Bradby for a primetime television interview as part of a publicity blitz for his controversial memoir Spare.
In a series of bombshells twisting the knife on his closest family members, Harry claimed royals has sought to protect their own reputation ‘to the detriment’ of him and Meghan and they were ‘complicit’ in their ‘pain and suffering’.
He described a fractious relationship between his wife and Kate Middleton, while also addressing the rift with his brother and his sensational accusation towards Camilla of plotting to marry Charles.

But social media has exploded amid the bombshell interview, with claims of ‘hypocrisy’ over Harry’s desire for his family to reach out privately when he is publicly discussing behind closed doors conversations.
One user tweeted: ‘Harry literally turning the British Monarchy into an episode of The Kardashian’s. This is cringe.’
Another said: ‘If you want communication with your family to be private, why are you doing this interview?! So contradictory.
A third added: ‘He wants any future conversation to stay private but is sitting here telling us what other “private” conversations they have had.’
A fourth tweeted: ‘I’ve never heard such hypocritical, delusional, self-serving, narcissistic ramblings in my life!!
‘He’s actually said that he ‘hopes’ his family can respect HIS privacy whilst talking incessantly about THEM to the worlds press! KNOWING they cannot respond!’

During the 90-minute interview, Harry also suggested that senior royals helped to ‘trash’ his and Meghan’s reputations, forcing them to move to California, and have ‘shown no willingness to reconcile’.
But he sensationally conceded that his family were not racist, although he believes them guilty of ‘unconscious bias’.
He also backed the Queen’s former lady in waiting, Lady Susan Hussey, who was embroiled in a toxic race row last month, saying she ‘never meant any harm’.
Harry was not paid for tonight’s interview, which saw him alternate between answering questions from Bradby and reading sections from his memoir.
The duke also claimed that his William and sister-in-law Kate’s ‘stereotyping’ of his wife Meghan meant she was not welcomed as a member of the Royal Family.
He said that there was a ‘lot of stereotyping’ of Meghan after she was introduced to the Royal Family, because she is an ‘American actress, divorced, biracial’, adding that even he was ‘guilty’ of it.
Harry and Bradby joked about how, after he introduced Meghan to his family, he discovered his family were fans of Suits, the show that she starred in during her time as an actress.
But he said it was ‘fair’ to say that, according to Bradby, ‘almost from the get-go it’s just that they don’t get on.’
Harry also suggested his family has avoided accountability ‘on a lot of things’ during his 90-minute sit-down.
Published extracts include an alleged physical altercation between William and Harry and details of the feud between Meghan and Kate.
He also writes how he and William begged King Charles not to marry the now Queen consort Camilla, who he feared could become their ‘wicked stepmother’, before suggesting she had plotted to take the crown and leaked stories to the press.
