Harry interview viewers spot odd detail behind Prince that 'makes blood boil'
Prince Harry dropped another load of bombshells during his ITV interview on Sunday night - but some viewers were distracted by something behind him.
Ahead of the release of his highly-anticipated autobiography Spare, the Duke of Sussex sat down with Tom Bradby to discuss some of the major reveals from the book.
The King's youngest son, whose CBS interview with Anderson Cooper also aired last night, opened up on the struggles he faced following the death of his mother, Princess Diana.
He denied accusing the royals of racism during his interview with Oprah Winfrey, said he faced a "horrible reaction" from his family when the Queen died, and got into a strange discussion about beards.
But some viewers admitted they couldn't concentrate on Harry after spotting an odd detail in the background.

"Just starting #HarryTheInterview and before its actually started I'm already annoyed...... the door handles are upside down," tweeted one person.
In response, another person added: "Oh yeah!! Well spotted (it's annoying me now....)
A third wrote: "#HarryTheInterview the thing from this interview that is really making my blood boil. Who put the doors handles on upside down!! Just can’t concentrate on anything else!"
Once everyone had got over the door handles, it was time to listen to what Harry had to say about his family.
One of the most sensational claims was when Harry denied labelling the royal family racist after previously telling the world a senior royal questioned the colour of his unborn son's skin.
Harry and wife Meghan sent shockwaves through the British monarchy when they spoke of their disgust at "concerns and conversations about how dark his skin might be when he's born".
Addressing the storm for the first time since the Oprah Winfrey in March 2021, Harry said the royal family were not guilty of racism but of "unconscious bias".
During the interview, Bradby said to Harry: "In the Oprah interview you accused members of your family of racism".
The Duke snapped back, saying "no I didn't", adding "the British press said that".

In a further snipe at his family, Harry denied he'd "describe that as essentially racist", retorting: "I wouldn’t, not having lived within that family."

Asked why the relationship got off on a bad note, Harry said there were "lots of different reasons".
He went on: "I don’t think they were ever expecting me to get into a relationship with someone like Meghan, who had, you know, a very successful career.
"There was a lot of stereotyping that was happening, that I was guilty of as well, at the beginning."
Harry also revealed there was a clash with William over his beard - with a row erupting over whether he should be clean-shaven on his wedding day.
Prince Harry's beard was a topic of conversation (PA)Harry claimed: "I remembered that William had a beard himself and that granny and other people, the ones to tell – told him that he had to shave it off.
"Um, the difference for me, if there was a difference, but the difference for me was, as I explained to my grandmother, that this beard I'm still – that I'm still wearing, felt to me at the time like the new Harry. Right? As almost like a shield to my anxiety.
"That was – that was the time of my life when – when I – you know, when I – when I grew my beard.
"Um, and I think William found it hard that other people told him to shave it off, and yet here I was on my wedding day wearing military uniform, no longer in the military, um, but thinking as though I – believing as though I should shave it off before my wedding day.
"And I said ‘Well I don’t believe that Meghan’s gonna recognise me if she comes up the aisle and sees me beardless’."
Buckingham and Kensington Palaces have refused to content on the contents of the book, which hits the shelves on Tuesday.
Spare is set to be released early next week at all book stores and can be bought online here.
