“I would like to get my father back. I would like to have my brother back,” he added.
In a segment of his interview with60 Minutes,Prince Harryexpanded on the allegations of “leakings” in the media and how negative stories have affected him and Meghan. He also told Cooper why he’s addressing these matters publicly.
“Every single time I tried to do it privately, there have been briefings and leakings and planting of stories against me and my wife,” Harry said. “You know, the family motto is ‘never complain, never explain’ … it’s just a motto and it doesn’t really … hold.”
“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,” he continued. “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.”

“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 horror,” the statement said. “AsDiana, 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.”
“For Harry, this is his story at last,” it continued. “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.”
