All week, Harry, 38, has been on a raucous promotional tour for his book Spare, which is stuffed with details resembling Harry calling Prince William “disturbing” hair loss, and Meghan Markle visiting Princess Diana’s grave to ask for “clarity”.
Appearing on the legendary CBS Sunday Night news behemoth, Harry continued to drop bombs on interviewer Anderson Cooper, 55.
Listed here are the biggest hits from the entire interview, from Harry’s “nasty” fight with Prince William, to his explosive stepmother/spouse Camilla, and more.
William ignored Harry at college
Prince Harry fired shots at his brother Prince William just outside the gate. Anderson Cooper asked Harry about how William didn’t talk over with him once they went to high school together, in keeping with his book.
“It hurt then,” said Harry. “I could not understand it. I assumed, “What do you mean? We’re in the same school now. For instance, I have never seen you in ages, now we are able to spend time together. He says, “No, no, no, after we’re at college, we do not know one another.” And I took it personally.”

Icky Princess Diana’s wet hands
Harry spoke about his walk with William to greet mourners outside Kensington Palace following the death of Princess Diana.
When Cooper asked what he thought as he watched the video now, Harry said: “I feel it’s weird because I can see William and I smiling. I remember the guilt I felt… the people we dated showed more emotion than we did… I’m talking about how wet people’s hands were.”
He explained that he couldn’t understand why people’s hands were damp – nevertheless it was from wiping their very own tears.
“I remember one among the weirdest parts was taking flowers from people after which placing them with the rest,” said Harry, looking slightly horrified. “As if I used to be some form of mediator of their grief. And that basically made me stand out.”
He also said that the first time he cried was when Diana’s coffin sank into the ground. “There has never been one other time,” he said.

He thought Diana wasn’t really dead
Harry has spoken intimately about his mother’s death in the famous automotive accident of 1997 and his response to it. “For a very long time, I just didn’t want to just accept that she was gone. She would never do this to us, but perhaps that is a part of the plan as well,” said Harry. “Then for her to call us and for us to go and join her, yes.”
Harry said William had “similar thoughts” and held that belief for “years”. But when he was 20, he asked to see the police report of the accident that killed his mother so he could have “proof”.
“Evidence that she was in the automotive. Evidence that she was injured. And proof that the same paparazzi who had chased her into the tunnel had taken pictures – pictures of her lying half dead in the back seat of the automotive, he said.

There aren’t all the answers about Di’s death
When Cooper asked Harry if he felt he had all the answers about what really happened when Princess Diana died in a tunnel in Paris, Harry replied: “Actually, no. I do not think so. And I do not think my brother does either.
I do not think the world would do this.”
Drinking and medicines
Cooper was asking Harry about pot and cocaine use in the past. Harry said he did it in the years following his mother’s death as a response.
“I resorted to heavy drinking. Because I desired to suppress the feeling or I desired to distract myself from how… whatever I used to be considering. And you recognize, I’d also resort to drugs,” he said.
He has also said that he believes using psychedelics, ayahuasca, psilocybin, mushrooms helped him.
“They cleared that concept I had in my head that I needed to cry to prove to my mother that I missed her. When all she really wanted was for me to be completely happy.”
Although he didn’t specify the schedule of his drug use, he said his destructive behavior modified due to Meghan Markle. “As an alternative of getting drunk, dropping out of clubs, shooting up, I discovered the love of my life and had the opportunity to begin a family together with her.”

Camilla the villain
Harry wrote in his book that he and William directly asked Charles to not marry Camilla. In his interview with “60 Minutes”, he continued to blow her up.
“We didn’t think it was vital,” he said. “We thought it might do more harm than good.”
He also said that her have to restore her “villain” image in the British press made her “dangerous” due to the connections she made with the tabolids.
“There was an open willingness on either side to exchange information. And with a family built on the hierarchy and with it, on the solution to being queen consort, people or bodies will remain on the street for this reason.
Harry felt he was one among those “bodies”, he said, writing in his book, “Camilla has dedicated me to her personal PR altar.”

Immediate distrust of Meghan Markle
In his book, Harry writes that when he introduced Markle to the royal family in 2016, his father was initially keen on her, but William was skeptical and referred to her contemptuously as “an American actress.”
Harry said this distrust began: “From the very starting, before they even had a probability to know her. The British press picked up on it. And here we’re… The incontrovertible fact that she was American, actress, divorced, black, biracial with a black mother. These were just 4 of the typical stereotypes which can be going mad in the British press.”
The royal family reads the tabloids
Harry said a part of his family’s distrust of Markle was because they read the press themselves. “My family reads the tabloids, you recognize? It’s laid out at breakfast when everyone gets together,” he said. “So whether you go around saying you suspect it or not, it still leaves a mark in your mind. So, if you’ve gotten this stereotypical judgment right from the start, it’s totally, very hard to recover from it.”

William and Charles were “furious” over Harry’s statement in support of Markle
In 2016, shortly after Harry’s relationship with Meghan became public, he released the news statement denouncing what he saw as the racist way the press had treated her. But his dad and brother weren’t completely happy, he said.
“They felt it made them look bad. They felt they’d no probability or were unable to do that for his or her partners. What Meghan needed to undergo was somewhat just like what Kate and Camilla went through under completely different circumstances.”
He said Markle’s race made her situation different, which the family couldn’t understand.
“I used to be incredibly naive about it. I had no idea the British press was so bigoted. Hell, I used to be probably bigoted before Meghan.

“Unpleasant” physical fight with William
In his book, Harry claims his tension with William about Markle led to a physical altercation in 2019. He explained to Cooper that Willam pushed him and landed on a dog bowl, cutting his back.
“It was at a time when people in his office were telling him certain things. At the same time, he absorbed lots of tabloids, lots of articles. And he had a couple of issues that weren’t based on reality,” said Harry. “And I used to be defending my wife. And he was coming for my wife… due to what he was saying.”
He didn’t specify what William said about Markle. “We moved from one room to the kitchen. And his frustration grew and grew and grew. He shouted at me. I screamed at him. That was not nice. It wasn’t nice in any respect. And it broke. And he pushed me to the floor.”
Harry said William later apologized nevertheless it was an “unpleasant” experience. “He knocked me over. I landed on a dog bowl. I cut my back.
William asked Harry not to inform anyone, he said, but Markle noticed the cut on his back.
When Cooper asked Harry if he and William were talking or texting, Harry replied, “Currently not. But I can not wait until we all know peace.”
