No relaxation in sight within the royal family. Prince Harry announces that he wants to “reconnect” with his father King Charles III and his brother William, with whom he is cold, but sees “no desire to reconcile”. The words are taken from an excerpt from an interview given before the publication of his dreaded memoir.
A month after the documentary on Harry and his wife Meghan aired on Netflix, the British monarchy is preparing for new revelations about the sensational departure of the couple in 2020 for California with the publication on January 10 of the book The Alternate.
On the occasion of the release of the book, the prince gave two television interviews, which will be broadcast on Sunday January 8.
Prince Harry wants ‘a family, not an institution’
“They have shown absolutely no desire to reconcile,” said the Duke of Sussex in a short trailer, released on Monday, without it being known who he is referring to precisely. “I would like to reconnect with my father. I would like to reconnect with my brother”, also indicates Harry, specifying that he wants “a family, not an institution”.
These critics come at a time of transition for the British royal family after the accession to the throne of Charles III, following the death of Elizabeth II on September 8 at the age of 96. The ruler of the United Kingdom and 14 other Commonwealth states is due to be crowned on May 6, a grand event broadcast around the world.
Their documentary released on Netflix in December, in six episodes, allowed the “Sussexes” to give their point of view on their departure, which made them very unpopular in the United Kingdom, where they are often described by a ruthless press as children. selfish spoilers.
According to the Sunday Times, the Substitute especially takes aim at William more than at King Charles III, confirming the rift between the two brothers side by side at the funeral of their mother Diana in 1997. “Personally, I do not see how Harry and William will be able to reconcile after that,” a source with knowledge of the book told the Sunday newspaper.
