Prince Harry has stated that he wants his "father and brother" back in a first look at the bombshell ITV interview with Tom Bradby.
Filmed in California, where Harry now lives, the interview will see the Prince go into detail on his life in and out of the Royal Family, reports the Mirror. Harry: The Interview, includes ITV News at Ten presenter Tom Bradby, who has known Harry for over 20 years.
The 90-minute special will be broadcast two days before Prince Harry's autobiography, Spare, is released on January 10. This interview is part of a publicity trial for the tell-all book.

The interview will cover a range of details of Harry's life, including his personal life, the death of his mother Diana, and a look at his future alongside Meghan Markle as a non-working royal. In the twenty second preview clip, Harry is heard telling Tom "it never needed to be this way".
Harry told the ITV newsreader: "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 the interview will be something 'everyone should want to watch' as Harry prepares to reveal all about his family.
Michael 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."
This news comes as Harry prepares for the release of his book Spare, which readers have already claimed takes aim at his brother Prince William. The source told The Sunday Times: “Generally, I think the book [will be] worse for them than the royal family is expecting.
“Everything is laid bare. Charles comes out of it better than I had expected, but it’s tough on William, in particular, and even Kate gets a bit of a broadside.
“There are these minute details, and a description of the fight between the brothers. I personally can’t see how Harry and William will be able to reconcile after this.”
