Prince Harry has accused the Royal Family of "getting into bed with the devil" to rehabilitate their image.

In his first primetime television interview promoting his controversial memoir, the Duke of Sussex also criticised "family members" for a “really horrible reaction” on the day the Queen died, with leakings and briefings.

He also told ITV’s Tom Bradby that he loved his father Charles and brother the Prince of Wales, but said: “At the moment, I don’t recognise them, as much as they probably don’t recognise me.” “Nothing of what I’ve done in this book or otherwise has ever been any intention to harm them or hurt them,” he added.

His book Spare, due out on Tuesday, has sparked a furore over his claims that William physically attacked him, and his admission he killed 25 Taliban members during the Afghanistan war. Harry said he wanted reconciliation with his father and brother, and forgiveness was 100% a possibility.

But grilled by Bradby on whether he had taken a “flamethrower” to any bridges, the duke insisted: “Silence only allows the abuser to abuse. They’ve shown absolutely no willingness to reconcile up until this point. And I’m not sure how honesty is burning bridges."

Harry lambasted the British press throughout the sit-down interview, and accused the royals of being “complicit” in the conflict the media created.

“The saddest part of that is certain members of my family and the people that work for them are complicit in that conflict,” he said.He also denied that he accused the royal family of racism in his Oprah interview, when he and the Duchess of Sussex revealed an unnamed family member raised concerns about how dark their unborn son’s skin would be.

“No I didn’t…the British press said that…did Meghan every mention
