IF Prince Harry’s achieved one thing, it’s been to reassure the rest of us — if we were ever in doubt — that the Royal Family is as dysfunctional as any other.
We all know you can’t choose your family, so stories of arguments, fights, “grabbing” and “ripping” will come as a crazy comfort to those of us who have experienced similar clashes.
Harry has clearly endured a lot of trauma and this interview is a striking mix of public therapy session and personal quest

I do have a fair bit of empathy for Harry, it has to be said.
He has clearly endured a lot of trauma and this interview — just like his book and Netflix documentary — is a striking mix of public therapy session and personal quest of a man whose final line of defence is attack.
After spending years feeling isolated and on the periphery, he’s making a last-ditch attempt to tell his side of the story.
Not everyone will agree with his means, or indeed some of the statements he asserts as “facts”, but the moment he talked of wanting his father and brother back, I felt his pain.
As a mother and daughter, I do not see Harry’s actions as unforgiveable and feel a reconciliation cannot be denied this troubled, lonely man.
Even the coldest, darkest hearts would want to see this awful rift heal.
