Prince Harry: 'I Want My Father and Brother Back'

Prince Harry said in an interview ahead of the release of his autobiography that there was absolutely no need for his troubled relationship with the British royal family to be in this way.

Harry added, "I would like to get my father back, I would like to have my brother back,"

In the trailer for the interview with ITV's Tom Bradby, he says "they've shown absolutely no willingness to reconcile", although it's not clear who he's referring to.

In the CBS trailer, Prince Harry - the Duke of Sussex - chats with CBS reporter Anderson Cooper on 60 Minutes in a chat the broadcaster described as "explosive."

The duke claims he was "betrayed" by briefings, leaks, and planting stories against him and his wife.

Harry said, "The family motto is 'never complain, never explain', but it's just a motto.

"They will feed or have a conversation with a correspondent, and that correspondent will literally be spoon-fed information and write the story, and at the bottom of it, they will say they have reached out to Buckingham Palace for comment.

ITV mentioned that its interview would cover Prince Harry's personal relationships and "never-before-heard details" related to the death of his mother, Diana, Princess of Wales.

Filmed in California where the Sussexes live, the ITV session will also see the Duke refer to the "leaking and the planting" of stories, before adding: "I want a family, not an institution".

"They feel as though it is better to keep us somehow as the villains," he added.

Prince Harry's autobiography Spare, which is expected to provide details about the feuds with his brother, Prince William, will be released on January 10.

Publisher Penguin Random House describes it as "a landmark publication full of insight, revelation, self-examination, and hard-won wisdom about the eternal power of love over grief."

The autobiography follows the release of the Netflix documentary Harry and Meghan, in which Prince Harry pointed out that it was "terrifying" that his brother was yelling and yelling at him during a summit to discuss the couple's future in the royal family. 

Buckingham Palace declined to comment on the allegations made on the program.

The Sussexes have also spoken out about why they decided to abandon royal duties and move to the United States, and have criticized the British press and the inner workings of the royal establishment.
