Prince Harry accuses Camilla of a ‘campaign’ against other royals in quest to be Queen

Prince Harry’s explosive TV interviews have highlighted a state of “conflict” in the Duke of Sussex’ truth, an expert has revealed.

A leading Australian body language expert has revealed that Prince Harry’s voice and body tell a different story to the verbal revelations made in an interview to promote his memoir Spare.

“Cicero, the famous ancient Roman orator, considered gesture and vocal tone to the be single most important components of communication and how they could tell a united or contrasting story. Harry’s interview often puts them a conflict,” Dr Louise Mahler said.

The comments come after Prince Harry said in a raw and revealing interview on 60 Minutes in the United States, he resorted to drinking heavily, taking recreational drugs and even using experimental psychedelic substances to overcome the pain he felt in the wake of the death of his mother.

The Duke of Sussex said it took him more than a decade to believe Princess Diana was dead.

He took aim at Camilla’s actions after he lost his mother, accusing her of having “sacrificed me on her personal PR altar” in her bid to curry favour with the British press and pave the way for her marriage to then Prince Charles.

Prince Harry also said he could now never imagine returning to the royal family in a full-time role, but that he hoped he could patch up his differences with his brother and father, claiming his new memoir and publicity tour was not designed to hurt them.

Speaking about the death of Diana, Prince Harry said he and Prince William believed that it was “all part of a plan”, and that they expected she would call them and they would eventually be reunited.

“I just refused to accept that she was gone,” Prince Harry said.

“I had huge amounts of hope.”

He asked to look at photos of the tragic crash for “proof” of how Diana died, traced her final route in Paris, and even considered pushing to reopen the inquest into her death.

He and his brother drifted apart during that traumatic period and struggled to speak to each other about their mother.

The tension between them as youngsters even led Prince William to tell Prince Harry when they were at school together: “When we’re at school, we don’t know each other.”

As he struggled to come to terms with his mother’s death as an adult, Harry said he turned to psychedelic drugs with the help of medical professionals.

He first saw a therapist seven years ago and later tried more experimental treatments involving drugs.

“I would never recommend people to do this recreationally, but doing it with the right people if you are suffering from a huge amount of loss, grief or trauma, then these things have a way of working as a medicine,” the Duke of Sussex said.

“They cleared the windshield – the misery of loss, this idea that I had in my head that I needed to cry to prove to my mother that I missed her.”

He said he had previously resorted to drinking heavily and taking drugs including marijuana and cocaine to “numb the feeling”.

“There was this weight on my chest that I felt for so many years. I was constantly trying to find a way to cry,” Prince Harry said, even describing how he would watch videos of Diana online to try and cry.

Prince Harry wants the world to know it wasn’t Meghan Markle who wrecked his relationship with Prince William.

The Prince said it was his military career in Afghanistan that “saved me in many regards”.

“It got me out of the spotlight from the UK press,” he said, and enabled him to “feel normal for the first time in my life”.

He said his work as an Apache helicopter pilot in the war zone was his “calling”.

“I felt healing from that, weirdly,” Prince Harry said.

“It felt like I was turning pain into a purpose. I didn’t have the awareness at the time that I was living my life in adrenaline.”

Dr Mahler described Prince Harry’s take on his reasons for joining the arm as “bewildering” and a “tragic metaphor”.

“Harry describes his perfect fit for the army as he could focus on a purpose larger than self and accomplish big challenges. He was there “to save and help anyone screaming for help” and that it “felt healing”,” she said.

“How anyone could be so blatantly unaware of the underlying psychology of their story is bewildering. This seems a tragic metaphor for Harry who is helping his mother and now Meghan, still sitting on the front seat of that ‘Apache helicopter of life’, still listening to 4 radios at once and still trying to ‘turn pain into purpose’.”

“Living life, no less now than then, on adrenaline he tells us he “HAD a huge amount of frustration and blame” and ‘HAD’ a lot of anger’ inside him. Hmm. One thinks the verb there would make more sense in the present tense (has), but somehow Harry cannot see it. His voice, however, is the outstanding give away. Barely one sentence is complete without breaking it into edible slices of breath, a sign of stress and anxiety, a sign he continues to ‘fight self’.”

In the first US television interview to discuss his upcoming memoir, Spare, Prince Harry sits down with Anderson Cooper.

In Spare, his memoir that will be released this week, Harry accused Camilla of having “sacrificed me on her personal PR altar” after Diana’s death, writing that she was “dangerous” because of her campaign to boost her profile in the British press.

“She was the villain – she was the third person in the marriage,” Harry said on 60 Minutes.

“She needed to rehabilitate her image.”

“With her on the way to being Queen Consort, there was going to be people or bodies left in the street because of that.”

He said that he and Prince William told then Prince Charles not to marry Camilla because it would “cause more harm than good”.

Speaking about his relationship with Meghan Markle, Prince Harry said he was “incredibly naive” and “probably bigoted” before they met, and that he was shocked by how both his family and the press responded to her race.

“A large part of it for the family, but also the British press and numerous other people, is like: ‘He’s changed, she must be a witch’ … as opposed to yeah, I did change, and I’m really glad I changed,” he said.

“Rather than getting drunk, falling out of clubs, taking drugs, I’d now found the love of my life and I had now had the opportunity to start a family with her.”

He revealed how his rift with Prince William over his brother’s treatment of Ms Markle exploded at a meeting at Prince Harry’s cottage on the grounds of Kensington Palace.

“It was a build-up of frustration on his part. It was at a time where he was being told certain things by people within his office, and at the same time he was consuming a lot of the tabloid press,” the Duke said.

“He had a few issues which were based not on reality, and I was defending my wife, and he was coming for my wife – she wasn’t there at the time.”

“We moved from one room into the kitchen and his frustrations were growing and growing and growing. He was shouting at me, I was shouting back at him. It wasn’t nice, it wasn’t pleasant at all. And he snapped – he pushed me to the floor.

“He knocked me over, I landed on the dog bowl.”

Prince William later apologised and asked him to keep the fight a secret, which Prince Harry said he intended to do until Meghan saw the injury he sustained during the incident.

“Oh s***,” he said.

The Duke of Sussex said he could now not imagine ever returning to a full-time royal role.

He also told 60 Minutes that he had not spoken to his brother or father for “a while”.

But the Duke of Sussex said he believed the royal rift could be healed.

“Yes, the ball is very much in their court. We will openly apologise for everything that we did wrong,” Prince Harry said.

“There needs to be a constructive conversation that happens in private and that doesn’t get leaked.”

Dr Mahler said Prince Harry’s efforts to paint a full picture about what happened ultimately failed in the eyes of the audience.

“On outlining the derogatory comments about William (“familiar scowl, alarming baldness, his waning lack of resemblance to Diana’), Harry is asked whether this is cutting and while denying that intention, Harry smiles, while his voice spits out the words in stilted “I don’t ... see it … as cutting … at all … um” with the now familiar over sibilant ‘ss’,” she said.

“He speaks of giving a full picture with a huge, rounded hand gesture way above his head, but in contrast, one would feel it is tiny little picture of an individual perspective. His clear distress, his lack of the ability to cry, his traumatic recollections of the funeral, his believing his mother was alive for over a decade … Every psychologist in town must be chomping at the bit to work on this damaged young man.

“Harry speaks of ‘truth’ and yet when he reflects on attempting to have discussions with William, he tells us that “Every single time I have tried to do it privately” and at the same time he rubs his nose, a classic sign of discomfort and, might I say, untruth. Again, Harry is unaware.

“Harry says he has now found the happiness Diana wanted for him, but absolutely nothing about this delivery supports that notion. As Cicero knew, the audience will know the difference.”
