Prince Harry has provided an intimate insight into his relationship with his stepmother, Camilla, in a new with “Good Morning America” co-anchor Michael Strahan. In his new book, Spare, the Duke claims the royal institution fed stories to the British press and refused to set the record straight on false reports, insinuating that Camilla, although well-meaning, may have been one of the actors. Speaking to GMA’s Michael Strahan in this morning’s interview, he expanded on this as he said: “I have a huge amount of compassion for [Camilla], you know, being the third person within my parents’ marriage.”
The Duke continued: “She had a reputation or an image to rehabilitate, and whatever conversations happened, whatever deals or trading was made right at the beginning, she was led to believe that that would be the best way to do it.
“And I don’t have a problem with any member of my family needing to rehabilitate their image, but if that rehabilitation or that relationship with, in this case, the British tabloids, comes at the cost of my girlfriend or my family — my close family or my larger family — then I draw a line at that.”

Asked about what his relationship with Camilla is like now, Harry said: “We haven’t spoken for a long time. I love every member of my family, despite the differences, so when I see her we’re perfectly pleasant with each other.
“She’s my stepmother. I don’t look at her as an evil stepmother.
“I see someone who has married into this institution and done everything that she can to improve her reputation and her own image, for her own sake.”
