Prince Harry said he's tried to keep his talks with the British royal family private, but he's had to go public with his concerns because of stories in the tabloids.
In a clip that came out on Monday, Cooper asked Prince Harry about the criticism he and his wife, Meghan, the Duchess of Sussex, were getting for stepping back from their royal duties and talking publicly about what made them do it. The second son of King Charles said again that he tried to talk about the problem in private.
“„And every singly time I tried to do it privately there have been briefings and leakings and planting of stories against me and my wife. You know, the family motto is ‘Never complain, never explain.’ It’s just a motto.- Prince Harry
The couple has been in the news a lot lately because of "Harry & Meghan," a docuseries on Netflix that came out last month. In it, they told stories about how they met and how they felt about how the media and their families had treated them.
In an upcoming interview with British network ITV, Prince Harry is expected to talk more about his life inside and outside of the Royal Family. He has said,
“„I want a family, not an institution.- Prince Harry
In a clip from the interview that came out Monday as a sneak peek, the Duke of Sussex said, “They’ve shown absolutely no willingness to reconcile,” He was probably talking about the Royal Family.
“„I would like to get my father back. I would like to have my brother back.- Prince Harry
Prince Harry told reporter Tom Bradby in the interview clip that will be shown on ITV1 on Sunday, January 8. Also, Prince Harry told Anderson Cooper that he doesn't see himself ever going back to his old job in the royal family. Cooper, who is 55 years old, asked Harry in a clip that 60 Minutes posted on Twitter on Monday.
“„Can you see a day when you would return as a full-time member of the royal family?- Anderson Cooper
"No," said Prince Harry. As Harry and the 18-time Emmy Award-winning journalist continued to talk on camera, a voiceover said that the "revealing" special will air on CBS on Sunday and be available to stream on Paramount+.
Prince Harry's upcoming talk with Cooper will be his first interview on U.S. television to talk about Spare, his highly anticipated memoir coming out on Jan. 10. Harry did two interviews to promote the book.
The one with Anderson Cooper 360 is one of them. The publisher, Penguin Random House, has said that the book will be about grief, love, and healing.
ITV and CBS both shared snippets of their upcoming interviews with Prince Harry on social media on Monday. Harry talks about his and Meghan's decision to step down as senior working royals, why he thinks "silence is betrayal," and what he thinks about making peace with his father King Charles, and brother Prince William.
In another part of the ITV interview, Prince Harry said, "they feel as though it is better to keep us somehow as the villains,"and "they have shown absolutely no willingness to reconcile,"It's not clear who he was talking about.
In a part of his interview with 60 Minutes, Prince Harry talked more about how negative stories about him and Meghan have affected them. He also explained to Cooper why he is talking about these things in public.
“„Through leaks, they will speak or have a conversation with the correspondent, and that correspondent will literally be spoon-fed 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.- Prince Harry
“„So when we're being told for the last six years we can't put a statement out to protect you, but you do it for other members of the family, there becomes a point when silence is betrayal.- Prince Harry
SPARE comes out a month after Harry & Meghan, a docu-series about the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, is released on Netflix. A press release from Penguin Random House says that the book will tell the story of his life in the public eye.
“„SPARE takes readers immediately back to one of the most searing images of the twentieth century: two young boys, two princes, walking behind their mother's coffin as the world watched in sorrow and horrorAs 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.- Penguin Random House
“„For Harry, this is his story at last. With its raw, unflinching honesty, SPARE is a landmark publication full of insight, revelation, self-examination, and hard-won wisdom about the eternal power of love over grief.- Penguin Random House
