Prince Harry says he wants to mend ties with King Charles and William
Prince Harry, Duke of Sussex, has said he hopes to repair his strained relationship with his father, King Charles, and his brother, Prince William. In an interview with GQ magazine conducted in New York, he described family rifts as a common experience many people can relate to, and said reconciling was the most important goal. He also said he has no interest in sympathy, crediting his own therapy and support network for helping him cope with grief after his mother's death.\n\n Harry also explained why his family moved back to the United Kingdom, citing opportunities for the family and the chance for his children, Archie and Lilibet, to attend British schools. The GQ interview was released as the royal family hosted the Sultan of Oman at Windsor Castle for a state visit.
