The Duke of Sussex wants to repair his difficult relationship with his father and brother, he has said. Speaking to GQ magazine in New York, Prince Harry said of his complicated relationship with William and King Charles that from a family perspective it was a “massively relatable issue for so many people”. That’s the key point,” he said.
Asked if he thought he could repair “this wound”, Harry said: “Yeah of course … look, scars stick around forever but … what your perception is and what your mindset is to these things that have happened, certainly letting go of the past, that’s something that I would encourage everybody to do. The interview, conducted last month, was released on the GQ website as the royal family welcomed the Sultan of Oman to Windsor Castle for a state visit. Speaking of moving his family to the UK, Harry said they moved back for “opportunities, for the family, being able to put the kids in British schools meant a lot to me”.
He added: “I didn’t know how important it was to me, I always thought it was going to be something I would try and do or that we would try and do, but now they’ve been in school for two weeks they’re loving it and it’s just giving them a whole different experience – don’t worry I’m not criticising American schools.” He added it was “so important” for his children, Archie, seven, and Lilibet, five, to have two “completely different cultural experiences”. Harry, who spoke about dealing with grief and trauma after his mother’s death, said he hoped sharing his experience would help others rather than garnering public sympathy for himself. I’ve got a support network around me, I’ve done different forms of therapy, and I put in the work.
I wonder where I would be if I didn’t – it could be a very different situation,” he said.
