Prince Harry has done yet another explosive interview about his time as a senior member of the Royal Family on Good Morning America and people have something to say about it.
In preparation for his memoir Spare to launch on Tuesday 10, January, The Duke of Sussex sat down with Michael Strahan to speak about some of his book's controversial and juicy stories.
Prince Harry addressed several rumors in his interview including his feelings toward his stepmother, Camilla Queen Consort, how the media pits him and Meghan against Prince William and Princess Kate, and his strained relationship with his brother and father, King Charles.

Last week, portions of Spare were released to the public after books in Spain went on sale slightly earlier than expected.
Through translated portions of the book, the public has learned that Harry killed 25 people in Afghanistan while serving in the Army, had a physical altercation with William before stepping down as a senior member, and more.
