What did Prince Harry mean when she said that Camilla was 'dangerous'?

I didn't really understand the explanation he gave in the Anderson Cooper interview, something about her wanting to 'rehabilitate her image'... Why would that be dangerous?

Is it just irrational dislike of his stepmother?

Diana was worse than the lot of them combined for feeding stuff to the media. That appears to have escaped her son’s notice.

… Yes and if your photograph was in the papers day after day, along with false stories about you, and you were followed by paps who swear at you to get a reaction, and journalists tried to pay your friends and staff to get them to sell information on you…

… oh and your in-laws who happened to be head of the most powerful family in the land wanted you to stay quiet and pretend in public that your marriage was fine when it had fallen apart because your husband was in love with another woman…

…then it would be very strange frankly if you didn’t want to get your side of the story out there.

I watched a programme about Camilla on ITV a couple of months ago, she was in it, can’t remember the interviewer but it was chats with her as she walked in her garden and going about her engagements. There were several friends also talking about her work, I was enjoying it until Jeremy Clarkson popped up, talking about how wonderful she is. They are obviously firm friends so for him to say what he said about Meghan recently, I can understand why Harry thinks Camilla is dangerous.

Yes, when the recent Jeremy Clarkson shit storm happened, I did see her name being bandied about a bit. Didn't they have dinner together the night before?

He suggested that because Camilla had to improve her image she courted journalists and gave them gossip about other members of the RF like H and M to get good stories written about herself.

He also seemed to take offence to her having monthly press briefings which is just common sense and part of the job as a royal.

Re Diana putting her side out to the media, I agree with @Satinwoodlill879 who writes that because the forces "against" her were so powerful
".... then it would be very strange frankly if you didn't want to get your side of the story out there."

Camilla's reputation as "the other woman" in the marriage has been rehabilitated over the years through subtle PR and her own involvement in various causes.

I just wish he would quote bloody specifics on exactly which stories were leaked and where he obtained evidence from - instead we are just supposed to take his word for it?

He does. It’s in the book.
