PRINCE Harry has said “I would like to get my father back” in an explosive tell-all interview.
The Duke of Sussex also accused his family of having “shown absolutely no willingness to reconcile” with him.
Prince Harry has said he wants his father back
The Duke of Sussex added he wants ‘a family, not an institution’
‘Spare’ will be released this month
He has trashed his family and story leaks in two interviews, one with ITV and one with CBS, ahead of his explosive memoir Spare.
He told ITV’s Tom Bradby: “It never needed to be this way. The leaking, the planting, I want a family – not an institution.
“They feel as though it’s better to keep us, somehow, as the villains. They’ve shown absolutely no willingness to reconcile.
“I would like to get my father back. I would like to have my brother back.”
But The Celeb Report revealed last night that his book will take the war with his brother to a new level by telling all about their conflict.
The full 90-minute interview, filmed in California, will air on Sunday – two days before Spare is released.
He also attacked his family for an hour in yet another interview with US network CBS News, which will be released on Sunday too.
Prince Harry told host Anderson Cooper: “Every single time I have tried to do it privately there have been briefings and leakings and planting of stories against me and my wife
“The family motto is ‘never complain never explain’. But it’s just a motto. It doesn’t really hold. There’s endless [complaining and explaining] through leaks.
“They will feed or have a conversation with the correspondent and that correspondent will be spoon fed information and write the story.
“Then at the bottom of it they will say that they have reached out to Buckingham Palace for comment.
“But the whole story is Buckingham Palace commenting.
“So when we are being told for the last six years we can’t put a statement out to protect you, but you do it for the rest of the family, there becomes a point when silence is betrayal.”
ITN’s Ian Rumsey claimed the ITV chat will include “many elements we’ve never heard before”.
And a trailer for his CBS interview labelled it as “revealing” and “explosive”.
But body language expert Judi James suggested he wants to look “superior” and plat the “victim”.
She said he makes himself looks like an “authoritative prince”, a “guru” and a “bean-spilling victim” in the trailer.
Prince Harry, 38, has done a series of publicity-boosting media interviews since he quit the Royal Family.
And he had been in talks with several major US networks about further TV talks, it was reported.
Last year he and wife Meghan Markle sat down with chat show host Oprah Winfrey.
Just a month later Prince Harry spoke on NBC, when he claimed he wanted to ensure the “right people” were around the Queen to “protect” her.
And last month his Netflix documentary aired. He claimed brother William screamed at him during Megxit talks as the now-King lied.
