Prince Harry seeks family reconciliation as Oman State Visit draws attention to interview

Prince Harry said he wanted to reconcile with his family in an interview released as King Charles and senior royals hosted the Sultan of Oman at Windsor. The timing drew attention away from the State Visit, while his comment that “some people don’t want it to work out” was widely interpreted as a possible reference to his brother, Prince William.

Harry’s spokesman said the remark was general and was not aimed at William or any family member. Harry and William have not spoken for four years, after years of strained relations following Harry and Meghan’s departure from royal duties, their television interview and Harry’s memoir. Harry also spoke about his relationship with his father, who is being treated for cancer, and said he wanted to let go of the past.
