Prince Harry gave two interviews, one on "60 Minutes" with Anderson Cooper and the other on "Good Morning America" with Michael Strahan, in advance of the release of his memoir, Spare, today.

Both programs gave Buckingham Palace the opportunity to respond in advance, but Palace representatives indicated that they asked to see the full interview (or at least read its transcript) before considering a response.

Because this is against CBS and ABC News policy, Buckingham Palace's comments representing the interests of King Charles and Queen Camilla were not published.

"We have reached out to Buckingham Palace for comment," Cooper said on 60 Minutes (via Us Weekly). 'Its representative requested that we provide them with our report before 60 Minutes aired it tonight before they would consider a response.'

As for Strang, "This morning, while we were airing, we received a response from a law firm representing Buckingham Palace, saying that the Palace "needs to consider exactly what is being said in the interview and its context."

Buckingham Palace and Kensington Palace have remained essentially silent as all these interviews and spares are made public.

However, Prince Harry emphasizes the point that members of the royal family and their press representatives secretly brief the press on private matters and are often quoted as "royal officials," "senior royal officials," "palace officials," etc.

Although no Royal Family representative has (predictably) commented on that particular claim, royal writer Omid Scobie, in a Yahoo! in one of his columns, claims that such leaks to the media are common among members of the royal family.
