Harry seeks reconciliation
Prince Harry said he wants to reconcile with his father, King Charles III, and his brother, Prince William, in a GQ interview where he replied, "Yes, of course."
Prince Harry told GQ that "Some people don't want it to work out. I want it to work out," and he added that "the most important thing is to reconcile - that's the key point," while discussing his complicated relationship.
A spokesperson for the duke told ABC News that "It was absolutely not intended as a swipe at his brother or any other member of his family," after Harry said some people did not want the situation to work out.
Prince Harry, 42, said he wanted to move his family back to England to be closer to family and to give his kids, ages 5 and 7, the experience of living in the U.K., including putting them in a British school.
Prince Harry said he and Meghan Markle have not shared publicly where in the U.K. they are living, and he said they have been in school for "two weeks" and the children are "loving it."
Spokesman denies swipe
A spokesman for the Sussexes said the interview was recorded in late September and that "nothing should be read into the timing," after Harry’s comments about reconciliation were published. Prince Harry said he wanted to reconcile as "the key point," and he told GQ, "Look, scars stick around forever," while encouraging people to let go of the past. The spokesman clarified that the reference to "some people don't want it to work out" was not a swipe at Prince William or any other member of his family.
Prince Harry said he recognized that the royal story of family disagreements was "massively relatable," and he described "Sibling disagreements, broken relationships between kids and their parents" as coming up with people he speaks to. Prince Harry said he wanted to be back on UK soil for longer than "a few days or a week here or there," and he said "Being able to put the kids in a British school has meant a lot to me."
Return to Britain, next steps
Prince Harry told GQ that he wants his disagreements with Prince William and King Charles III to "work out," and he said "For me, there's enough drama in the world and enough drama in people’s lives" to continue with issues with family. Harry, his wife Meghan and their two children moved back to the U.K. in late August, six years after their decision to leave their roles as working royals and move to California widened a gulf in the royal family. Prince Harry said he wants to reconcile as "the key point," and he told GQ, "Look, scars stick around forever," while encouraging people to let go of the past.
Harry, Meghan and their two children, Archie and Lilibet, are not known to have seen Charles or William in person since moving back to the U.K. from California in August, and it said the last time Harry and William were known to have been in each other's company was in August 2024. Charles saw Harry and his family in July, marking the first time the king had seen Meghan, Archie and Lilibet in person in four years, and it said Harry and Meghan made their first joint public appearance last week in Nottingham.
