Apart from reports that Royals were up in weapons over Harry’s book, Spare was officially greeted with a wall of silence from the palace.
But Harry insisted in several interviews that this was not him who tried to attach a fork in his relationship with his family, but rather clear all the spider nets and air the dirty laundry so they might really be able to really see What he had gone through all these years. As he described, his anxiety and unaddressed trauma went back decades, long before Meghan came into the picture.
“I’m not sure how honesty burns bridges,” he told ITV’s Bradby in an interview January 8. “You know, silence only allows the addict to abuse. Right? So I don’t know how to keep quiet will ever make things better.”
And “Although I would like to have reconciliation, he continued,” I would like to be responsible. I have managed to make peace during this time with many things that have happened. But that doesn’t mean I will just release it. “
Still, Harry noted, he wanted to be able to forgive and be forgiven. “I would like to get my father back,” he said. “I would like my brother back. Right now I don’t recognize them, as much as they probably don’t recognize me.”
He loved his family and always did, he emphasized. “None of what I have done in this book or otherwise,” he said, “has ever been (with) any intention to hurt them or hurt them.”
