Prince Harry has sensationally accused his family of being 'complicit' in the 'pain and suffering' inflicted on his wife and compared them to 'abusers'.

In a bombshell interview to plug his memoir, he suggested they helped to 'trash' his and Meghan's reputations, forcing them to move to California, and have 'shown no willingness to reconcile'. 

The prince's astonishing claims came in a 90-minute discussion with ITV presenter and old friend Tom Bradby.

While he accused his family of 'getting in bed with the devil', he conceded they were not racist, although he believes them guilty of 'unconscious bias'. 

Harry backed the Queen's former lady in waiting, Lady Susan Hussey, who was embroiled in a toxic race row last month, saying she 'never meant any harm'.

Harry was not paid for Sunday night's interview, which saw him alternate between answering questions from Bradby and reading sections from his memoir.

In a later interview with CBS's Anderson Cooper in the US, Harry also had harsh words for Camilla, who he accused of being a 'villain' who 'needed to rehabilitate her image'.
