Prince Harry is in hot water following a report accusing him of making a statement hinting about his falling out with the royal family ahead of his and Meghan Markle's interview with Oprah Winfrey. The Duke of Sussex released a statement to address the report.
Prince Harry Allegedly Told A Pal 'Those Brits Need A Lesson'
The Duke of Sussex ranted to a friend and made inflammatory remarks against the royal family, according to The Sun. The outlet cited senior sources who claimed that he hinted about the animosity between him and the members of the firm ahead of his bombshell tell-all with Winfrey in March 2021.
"This is going to be quite shocking. Those Brits need to learn a lesson," Prince Harry allegedly told a friend.
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex made several allegations against the royals during their sit-down interview with Winfrey. They also claimed that a member of the royal family raised concern about their unborn child's skin color, prompting many netizens to slam the royal family for being racist.
The couple is expected to make fresh allegations against the royal family in their upcoming docuseries on Netflix.
"Some of the comments made by Harry and Meghan are fiery," a source added. "If aired, they will be absolutely explosive. The topic of racism is discussed — plus claims that some royals opposed the marriage. The whole TV project is very driven by Meghan."
“The narrative is that Harry had to be removed from his family, in which he felt neglected. Mental health features too, and discussion about Harry having therapy over the loss of his mother and his father’s relationship with Camilla.”
Prince Harry Reacts, Denies Report And Calls It 'Baseless'
The Duke of Sussex broke his silence to shut down the report quoting him for saying a remark he reportedly didn't say. His spokesperson released a statement to Carly Ledbetter, a senior reporter at HuffPost, calling The Sun's report "a baseless hit piece masquerading as journalism."
"This story is riddled with inaccuracies, not least of which is a quote erroneously attributed to Prince Harry," the Sussex spokesperson said in the statement.

"To accuse a man who spent 10 years serving his country of wanting to teach that same country a lesson is not only an attempted distraction but an unfortunate and predictable tabloid strategy," the spokesperson added. "To pit him against his country is shameful and manipulative, especially when Prince Harry has never spoken ill of the British public."
HuffPost reached out to The Sun for comment but did not receive an immediate response.
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's Netflix documentary premieres on Thursday, Dec. 8.
