The Duke of Sussex has likened life in the royal family to a mix between being in The Truman Show and being in a zoo.
In a wide-ranging 90-minute interview, Prince Harry also appeared to criticise the way he had been raised by his father, stressing he wanted to “break the cycle” of genetic pain and suffering.
Speaking to the American actor Dax Shepard for his Armchair Expert podcast, Harry was promoting his new Apple TV+ series about mental health, The Me You Can’t See, with Oprah Winfrey, which launches next week.
He said that in his 20s he realised he did not want the royal “job”, having seen what it did to his mother, Princess Diana. He said he had been forced to “grin and bear it”, but added: “I’ve seen behind the curtain, I’ve seen the business model, I know how this operation runs and how it works. I don’t want to be part of this.
