Prince Harry says he ‘wants his brother and father back’ in explosive new interview

2023-01-02

Prince Harry has said he "wants brother and father" back in an explosive new interview set to air on ITV next week.

The Duke of Sussex will release a new TV interview next week, in which he will talk in-depth to journalist Tom Bradby about a range of subjects including his personal relationships, never-before-heard details surrounding the death of his mother, Diana, and a look ahead at his future.

Tom, a former royal correspondent for ITV, is a friend of Harry and Meghan and previously interviewed them for a documentary about their 2019 Africa tour.

In a teaser clip released ahead of the interview, Prince Harry refers to Prince William and King Charles, saying: "I would like to have my father back" and "I would like to have my brother back", claiming that "they've shown absolutely no willingness to reconcile".

Elsewhere in the teaser clip, he says: "It never needed to be this way” and refers to “the leaking and the planting” before adding “I want a family, not an institution”.

He also says “they feel as though it is better to keep us somehow as the villains”.

The 90 minute interview will be broadcast on ITV on Sunday 9 January – two days before the release of Harry's long-awaited autobiography Spare.

The book has been billed by publisher Penguin Random House as “a landmark publication full of insight, revelation, self-examination, and hard-won wisdom about the eternal power of love over grief”.

It comes after the Prince spoke out in another interview about the alleged failure of Buckingham Palace to defend him and his wife, the Duchess of Sussex, before they stepped down as senior royals.

During a short clip from an interview with CBS News’ 60 Minutes, Harry said: “Every single time I’ve tried to do it privately, there have been briefings and leakings and planting of stories against me and my wife.

“The family motto is ‘never complain, never explain’, but it’s just a motto.

“They (Buckingham Palace) will feed or have a conversation with a correspondent, and that correspondent will literally be spoon-fed information and write the story, and at the bottom of it, they will say they have reached out to Buckingham Palace for comment.

“But the whole story is Buckingham Palace commenting.

“So when we’re being told for the last six years, ‘we can’t put a statement out to protect you’, but you do it for other members of the family, there becomes a point when silence is betrayal.”
