The Duke of Sussex has said he wrote his tellall book Spare because of “38 years… of spin and distortion” and has not written anything “scathing” about members of his family.

Harry claimed “planting and leaking” from other members of the royal family meant, in his mind, they had written “countless books” and “millions of words … dedicated to trying to trash my wife”.

The duke also said in an interview with Tom Bradby on ITV that there was a “horrible reaction” from his family members when the Queen died.

He said his brother “raised some concerns” about his marriage to Meghan Markle and of how his father the King blamed himself for his son’s struggles, telling him “I should have got you the help you needed years ago”.

Speaking to TalkTV's Kevin O'Sullivan, Royal Biographer Angela Levin criticised Harry's biography as 'trash, rude and full of lies.'
