3 There Is “No Willingness to Reconcile,” Harry Claims
He adds that while he has tried to repair the relationships with his family members, they have done their part. “They’ve shown absolutely no willingness to reconcile . . . They feel as though it’s better to keep us somehow as the villains,” he says.
4 Duke Also Accuses Family of “Leaking” and “Planting” Stories
Harry also accuses family members of “the leaking and the planting” in the media: “It never needed to be this way,” he says. He also maintains that the dynamics of his family are more like a business. “I want a family. Not an institution.”
5 Harry Claims He Is Going Public Because When He Tries to in Private There Are Always “Leakings”
CBS also released a short trailer for Harry’s upcoming 60 Minutes interview with Anderson Cooper, describing it as “revealing” and “explosive.” In it, Harry tells Cooper that he and his wife opted to go public with their criticism because “every single time I’ve tried to do this privately, there have been briefings and leakings and planting of stories against me and my wife.”
He adds that royal correspondents have been “spoon-fed information” by Buckingham Palace, he says. “So when we are being told for the last six years we can’t put something out to protect you, but you do it for other members of the family, there comes a point when silence is betrayal.”
