Prince Harry has called the Queen Consort Camilla "dangerous" for how she went about trying to improve her own image prior to marrying King Charles III.
Speaking to Anderson Cooper on 60 Minutes, the Duke of Sussex claimed Camilla's need to rehabilitate her image made her dangerous due to the way she was forming relationships within the press.
He told the journalist: "There was open willingness on both sides to trade of information. And with a family built on hierarchy, and with her, on the way to being Queen consort, there was gonna be people or bodies left in the street because of that."
He then admitted he feels as though he was one of the bodies, believing that both Camilla and his father had, at times, used him to better their own coverage.

Harry also discussed how he didn't feel it was necessary for his dad to marry Camilla and went as far as revealing he and his brother Prince William had asked him not to tie the knot.

He confessed he did want to see the now-King and Queen consort happy, but he thought that being public with their relationship would suffice.
Harry's interview with Anderson was shown hours after the first British broadcast of the Duke of Sussex's UK chat with ITV News presenter Tom Bradby.
