Prince Harry going on the TV interview circuit and opening up about his estranged relationship with the royal family.
The Duke of Sussex, 38, is the focal point of the teaser for two new interviews on each side of the pond. Comment on each interesting – and they say a many about where he and his wife are Meghan Markle now from an emotional perspective after the release of that Netflix documentaries last month.

In England, ITV host Tom Bradby sat down with Harry for an upcoming interview about the prince’s relationship with his father King Charles and older brother Prince William. In an interview, Meghan’s husband opened up about his decision to leave London for California.
No questions from Bradby can be heard in the preview clip, but Harry refers to accusations of “leaking and planting” stories about him and Meghan in the British press. Then, Harry continued to speak bluntly:
“It never had to be that way. I want a family, not an institution.
Wow.
At another point in the ITV In a preview of the interview, Harry is shown saying:
“They think it’s better to keep us as criminals… they show no willingness to reconcile.”
It’s not clear who he’s referring to in the clip, but it’s clear the statement is quite controversial. Not exactly a subtle or lighthearted thing to say!
In a more revealing teaser moment than the one-on-one, Harry makes it clear that he wants to reconcile with his father, King Charlesand his cousin Prince William. The younger prince said:
“I want to ask my father back. I want my brother back.”
We can’t imagine, to be honest. There is a lot of drama between members of the royal family, and much of it is played up in the media. But there was a once-close family bond behind all the drama – and Harry was clearly feeling the loneliness of the difficult estrangement.

In the second interview teaser with Anderson Cooper for 60 minute, Harry opened up more about the effects of negative media stories on him, Meghan, and their two children. The interview will be broadcast on an American news program on Sunday night.
There, Harry told him CNN host:
“Every time I try to do it privately, there are briefings and leaks and planting stories on me and my wife. You know, the family motto is ‘never complain, never explain’ … that’s just a motto and it doesn’t … carry on.
At spare The author goes on to add how he believes information about him and Meghan has entered the press during this time in the public eye as part of the royal family:
“Through the leak, he would talk or talk to the correspondent and the correspondent would literally be spoon-fed information and write the story, and at the bottom he would say that he reached Buckingham Palace to comment, but that’s all. Buckingham Palace story comment. So , when we have been told for the past six years, we cannot make a statement to protect you, but you do it for other family members, so being silent is treason.
shit!
You can see the teaser (below):
Like I said, that was anticipated 60 minutes the interview is set to air next Sunday.
So, it looks like there will be more Harry and Meghan content to come even though the Netflix documentary has been rolling out on the streaming giant for the past few weeks!
