Prince Harry has said that he wants his "father and brother back" in an interview with ITV set to air later this week. The Prince made the remarks during an interview with ITV News at Ten presenter Tom Bradby.
Bradby, who has known the Prince for more than 20 years is set to go into unprecedented depth and detail on life in and out of the Royal Family ahead of Harry's autobiography being released. ‘Spare’ is to be published on 10 January, just two days after the interview.
According to the Mirror, the in-depth interview, which was filmed in California where Harry now lives, will cover 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. In a preview clip, Harry can be heard telling the interviewer.
"it never needed to be this way It never needed to be this way, the leaking and the planting, I want a family - not an institution.
"They feel that it's somehow better to keep us as the villains. They've shown no willingness to reconcile.
"I would like to get my father back. I would like to have my brother back."
Michael Jermey, ITV Director of News and Current Affairs, said: “It is extremely rare for a member of the Royal Family to speak so openly about their experience at the heart of the institution. Tom Bradby’s interview with Prince Harry will be a programme that everyone with an informed opinion on the monarchy should want to watch."
Ian Rumsey, ITN Productions Managing Director and Executive Producer, said: "Harry's version of events contains many elements we've never heard before, as viewers will see. It is a raw and intimate perspective on his relationships with the people closest to him and the moments that have shaped him."
It comes as Prince Harry has also given an interview to Anderson Cooper which will air this Sunday in the US. Harry: The Interview is on ITV1 and ITVX at 9pm on January 8
