Prince Harry says he wants his father and brother back in new teaser for "Spare" interview.
To promote his new memoir, Spare, Prince Harry will give two interviews, one with veteran CNN journalist Anderson Cooper, which will air this Sunday on CBS' 60 Minutes. The other is with ITV journalist Tom Bradby, who famously spoke with Harry and Meghan Markle during their 2019 royal tour of Africa.
And like the 60 Minutes clip, snippets from both have come out in teasers. Cooper asks Harry:" One of the criticisms you've received is, well, okay, okay, you want to move to California, you want to step down from your organizational role, why be so public". Harry responded, "Every time we tried to do it privately, there were explanations, leaks, and stories planted against me and my wife. The family motto is 'No complaints, no explanations.' But that's just a motto. It doesn't really work."
Harry also admitted to Cooper that there is "endless" complaining and explaining going on through leaks: "They give information and conversations to correspondents. The correspondent was literally spoon-fed an article, at the end of which he says he asked Buckingham Palace for comment. But the whole article is a Buckingham Palace comment. For the past six years we have been told that we cannot make a statement to protect you, but if we do it for another family, our silence is a betrayal."
And even more explosive are excerpts from an interview with ITV by The Telegraph: "It didn't have to be this way," "We don't want an organization, we want families," "They feel like they're better off keeping us as villains somehow," "They have shown no willingness to reconcile. and perhaps most heartbreaking of all: "I want my father back. I want my brother back."
Both interviews will air on January 8, ahead of the January 10 release of Spare, amid reports in the Daily Mail that Harry and his brother Prince William's relationship is "hanging by a thread."
