Prince Harry says he wants to work out relationship with brother and father

Prince Harry expressed a desire to mend his strained relationship with his brother, Prince William, and his father, King Charles III, in an interview with GQ magazine. The conversation took place in New York in late September and was published on Tuesday. When asked about his complicated relationship with his father and brother, Harry confirmed that he does indeed grieve this aspect of his life.

He acknowledged that the issue is widely relatable for many people and emphasized his desire for reconciliation, stating "of course I do ... with everything else that's going on in the world, the most important thing is to reconcile — that's the key point."

Harry and his wife, Meghan Markle, returned to the United Kingdom in late August, six years after they left their positions as working royals and relocated to California. This move led to a widening of the rift within the royal family, with Meghan's interviews alleging racism and insensitive treatment by palace staff. Despite these grievances, Harry stated last year that he would like to reconcile with his family and spend more time with his father, who is currently receiving medical treatment for an undisclosed form of cancer.

When asked if he believed he could repair the family rift, Harry admitted that "scars stick around forever," but encouraged everyone to let go of past issues. He further explained that he wished to avoid adding any more drama to the world and people's lives by continuing to hold grudges. The spokesperson for Harry clarified that his statement about "some people" was not intended as a criticism of his brother or any other member of the family.
