Prince Harry has lastly addressed whether or not he would ever return to the UK to work as a senior royal.
The 38-year-old Duke of Sussex has filmed a “revealing” TV particular for US 60 Minutes forward of the launch of his memoir Spare on January 10, with a brand new trailer revealing his blunt response to the burning query.
In the 20-second teaser, launched on Twitter forward of the interview airing on Sunday within the US, CNN anchor Anderson Cooper asks: “Can you see a day when you would return as a full-time member of the royal family?”
Without hesitation, Harry says, “No.”
While Harry and spouse Meghan Markle, 41, have given numerous interviews about their time within the royal household since transferring to the US in early 2020 – together with their explosive six-part Netflix documentary which dropped in December – it’s the primary time Harry has answered a query about his potential return to the UK.
Elsewhere within the chat, Harry additional levelled allegations of “leaks” within the press, claiming unfavourable tales about him and Meghan had been usually planted by communication groups for senior members of the royal household.
“Every single time I tried to [talk] privately, there have been briefings and leakings and planting of stories against me and my wife,” Harry mentioned.
“You know, the family motto is ‘never complain, never explain’ … It’s just a motto and it doesn’t really hold.
“Through leaks, they will speak or have a conversation with the correspondent and that correspondent will literally be spoonfed information and write the story, and at the bottom of it they will say they reached out to Buckingham Palace for comment, but the whole story is Buckingham Palace commenting.”
It comes after the father-of-two took the uncommon step of declaring he needed to reconcile together with his father, King Charles III, and brother, Prince William, in a separate interview with ITV’s Tom Bradby, which is the second of solely two media interviews he’s given to advertise his ebook.
In a trailer launched yesterday, Harry mentioned: “It never needed to be this way. The leaking, the planting, I want a family – not an institution.
“They feel as though it’s better to keep us, somehow, as the villains. They’ve shown absolutely no willingness to reconcile.
“I would like to get my father back. I would like to have my brother back.”
Royal watchers are eagerly awaiting the discharge of Harry’s ebook subsequent week, which writer Penguin Random House beforehand mentioned can be a mirrored image on grief, love and therapeutic.
“Spare takes readers immediately back to one of the most searing images of the 20th century: Two young boys, two princes, walking behind their mother’s coffin as the world watched in sorrow – and horror,” Penguin House launched in a press release.
“As Diana, Princess of Wales, was laid to rest, billions wondered what the princes must be thinking and feeling – and how their lives would play out from that point on.
