“She said, ‘Yes I didn’t know that I’m busy, I’ve been told that I’m busy all week.’ I was like, ‘Wow,’” Harry said.
Harry also disclosed how Prince William’s office allegedly give the British press stories about Harry and Meghan in order to ward off attention from himself and now-Princess of Wales, Catherine. “If the comms team want to be able to remove a negative story about their principle, they will trade and give you something else about someone else’s principle,” Harry shared.
