In his memoir Spare, Prince Harry describes some of the most trying times of his life as a royal. However, he insists that he never meant to cause any harm to his loved ones. “I love my father. I love my brother. I love my family. I always do,” , the Duke of Sussex told ITV’s Tom Bradby in an interview broadcast on Sunday in the United Kingdom. “Nothing of what I’ve done in this book or otherwise has ever been with any intention to harm them or hurt them.”
Prince Harry Says He Wants To Reconcile, But…
Prince Harry continues to say that, “The truth is something that I need to rely on. And after many, many years of lies being told about me and my family, there comes a point where, you know, again, going back to the relationship between certain members of the family and the tabloid press, those certain members have decided to get into bed with the devil, right?

To rehabilitate their image. If you need to do that, or you want to do that you choose to do that. Well, that is a choice. That’s up to you. But the moment that that rehabilitation comes at the detriment of others, me, other members of my family, then that’s where I draw the line.”
Harry stated this about making peace with his family: “I wish that it would stop. I want reconciliation. But first, there needs to be some accountability. You can’t just continue to say to me that I’m delusional and paranoid when all the evidence is stacked up.”
When Harry was questioned why he shared such private information about his family, he said: “Well, there’s been a motto, a family motto, of never complain, never explain. And what people have realized now through the Netflix documentary and numerous stories coming out over the years is that that was just a motto. There was a lot of complaining and there was a lot of explaining.” “We’re six years into it now and I have spent every single year of those six doing everything I can privately to get through to my family.
And the thing that is the saddest about this, Tom, is it never needed to be this way. It never needed to get to this point,” Harry further disclosed. “I’ve had conversations, I’ve written letters, I’ve written emails, and everything is just, no, you, this is not what’s happening. You are imagining it.’ And that’s really hard to take.” “And if it had stopped by the point that I fled my home country with my wife and my son fearing for our lives, then maybe this would’ve turned out differently,” he added.
Prince Harry’s memoir, set for publication on January 10, promises to be both an “intimate” and “heartfelt” look into the “experiences, adventures, losses, and life lessons that have helped shape him.”
