A short time afterwards, William was asked by a reporter if he had spoken to Harry since the interview. "No, I haven't spoken to him yet but I will do," he responded. A second reporter then questioned: "Can you just let me know, is the royal family a racist family, sir?" "We're very much not a racist family," William stated.

And just last week Harry gave another revealing interview, this time on the Armchair Expert podcast, during which he compared his life in the royal family to a mixture of The Truman Show and being in a zoo.
He also spoke about his approach to parenting. "I don't think we should be pointing the finger or blaming anybody, but certainly when it comes to parenting, if I've experienced some form of pain or suffering because of the pain or suffering that perhaps my father or my parents had suffered, I'm going to make sure I break that cycle so that I don't pass it on, basically," he said.
