In the infamous chat, she described her marriage to Prince Charles as “a bit crowded”, thanks to his affair with Camilla Parker Bowles.
“Harry obviously had deep suspicions about that interview, but to have it spelled out in black and white that a journalist had conned his mum into revealing her most private thoughts was incredibly triggering for him,” says a source.
