Prince Harry ITV interview LIVE: New revelations from Duke of Sussex as he discusses his memoir Spare with Tom Bradby

An interview with Prince Harry ahead of the release of his controversial memoir Spare has been aired on ITV tonight ahead of the book’s launch.

The programme in which the Duke of Sussex sat down with broadcaster Tim Bradby revealed more detail on the book and more allegations against the Royal Family.

The Duke of Sussex accused members of his family of "getting into bed with the devil" to rehabilitate their image, and the King of sacrificing Harry's interests in favour of his own.

In his first primetime television interview promoting his controversial memoir, Harry also criticised "family members" for a "really horrible reaction" on the day the Queen died, with leakings and briefings.

He also told ITV's Tom Bradby that he loved his father Charles and brother the Prince of Wales, but said: "At the moment, I don't recognise them, as much as they probably don't recognise me."

"Nothing of what I've done in this book or otherwise has ever been any intention to harm them or hurt them," he added.

Clips previously released by ITV of Harry: The Interview, showed him describing feelings of guilt and telling broadcaster Tom Bradby he had cried only once after the death of his mother Diana, Princess of Wales.

In a previously released trailer for the interview, Harry said he was publishing his memoirs because he does not know "how staying silent is ever going to make things better".

In another clip, he says he wants to reconcile with his family - but that it cannot happen without "some accountability".

The one hour 40 minute programme that began at 9pm was the first of four broadcast appearances over the coming days, with the duke also speaking to Anderson Cooper for 60 Minutes on CBS News on Sunday night in the US, Michael Strahan of Good Morning America on Monday and Stephen Colbert on the Late Show on CBS on Wednesday morning UK time.
