The Duke of Sussex says “I would like to get my father back, I would like to have my brother back” in a preview clip from his forthcoming interview with the ITV News at Ten presenter Tom Bradby.
The 90-minute programme, produced by ITN Productions for ITV, will broadcast two days before Harry’s autobiography, Spare, is published on 10 January.
In a series of clips cut together with no questions heard, Harry says “it never needed to be this way” and refers to “the leaking and the planting” before adding: “I want a family, not an institution.”
He also says “they feel as though it is better to keep us somehow as the villains” and that “they have shown absolutely no willingness to reconcile”, although it is unclear who he refers to.
Filmed in California where Harry now lives, ITV said Harry: The Interview will go into “unprecedented depth and detail” about his life in and outside the royal family.
