Harry slammed as 'manipulative' after shocking revelations on Diana in new Oprah Winfrey interview

'My mother was chased to her death while she was in a relationship with someone who wasn’t White,' Harry shockingly said in the interview

Prince Harry dropped a shocking claim about his late mother during his new AppleTV+ show on mental health, titled 'The Me You Can't See'. While talking to Oprah Winfrey on the show, Harry claimed that his mother Princess Diana was "chased to death while in a relationship with someone who wasn't White". He was referring to Princess Diana's fatal car crash on August 31, 1997, while she was with Dodi Fayed, an Egyptian film producer. 

Harry also opened up about his own struggles with alcohol and drug abuse, as well as Meghan's suicidal thoughts, additionally sharing how therapy has helped him heal. However, a section of Twitter users cried foul about his bombshell claims, calling the interview a "calculated, manipulative move".

'So much about this makes my alarm bells go off'

Harry's heart-to-heart interview with Oprah aired just hours after his statement on the Lord Dyson investigation. He mentioned how the "culture of exploitation and unethical practices" ultimately took her life while speaking out about Diana's famous 1995 BBC interview with Martin Bashir. 

While opening up about the struggles Meghan faced while being a part of the royal family, Harry said, "History was repeating itself. My mother was chased to her death while she was in a relationship with someone who wasn’t White. And now look what’s happened. Family members have said: Just play the game, and your life will be easier. But I’ve got a hell of a lot of my mum in me."

However, not everyone was convinced by Harry's claims, as some lashed out at him for falsely using manipulative tactics.  "Normally, I would deeply sympathize. But, so much about this makes my alarm bells go off. Red flags everywhere. If this was a calculated, manipulative move, then we are dealing with a very sick person. Very disturbing," a user tweeted. 

Another user taunted, "Apart from the fact that I don’t think Prince Harry understands what the words ”total neglect” even mean, I wish the press would stop reporting on his every stupid & irrelevant statement." Another user said, "Not crypto but I’m finding the constant royal family bashing from Prince Harry & Meghan extremely distasteful. You’ve made a choice to leave. Now do it with grace and dignity and start living your lives. #princeharry." One user bashed him for 'making money' from his mother's death, tweeting, "#PrinceHarry has had 25 years to speak about her, he is now making money from her death. Take some advice from #PrinceWilliam Harry. #PrincessDiana."
