conversations in order for reconciliation, and part of that has to be accountability. >> in his new memoir "spare," prince harry chronicles the family dynamics that defined his life and led him and his wife meghan to leave the uk and the royal family. >> within the family as such, there is a spare and the heir. my brother being the heir and me being the spare. i think it was a really good opportunity to choose a title that had been somewhat used against me for a listening part of my life and own that title. >> there is a quote in this book where you refer to your brother as your beloved brother and archnemesis. strong words. >> there is always been this competition between us, weirdly. again, i think it really plays into or is played by the heir/spare. >> to the outside world, prince harry and his brother william

always appeared close, bonded by his mother's tragic death. but in his memoir, harry writes about a more complex relationship. >> his life is planned out for him, whereas for the spare, that's not really what you should do. you should kind of be sitting there a little bit in the monarch's shadow and just wait your turn. >> in his book, prince harry writes about a fight he had with his brother in 2019 over meghan markle, a fight that he says turned physical when his brother grabbed him by the collar and pushed him to the floor. harry writes it was a relationship that had tension. you speak about your brother and there were arguments, there were fight, almost as if you should do what i tell you. >> no, it's not to say that by him saying no, you can't do this, that there is a rule that says you can't. it was more of a sort of brother i guess competition. >> you get a chance to tell your story now. your brother may never have that chance to tell his side of the story. are you sympathetic to that? >> yes, 100%.

and i think after i've done this, the book comes out, i would hope that other members of the family feel as though they can write their own book. >> how would you mom feel about your relationship with your brother now? >> i think she would be sad. i think she'd be looking at it long-term to know that there are certain things that we need to go through to be able to heal the relationship. >> but do you think you have any responsibility in the breakdown of the relationship? >> without question, i'm sure. but what people don't know is the efforts that i've gone to to resolve this privately, both with my brother and with my father, constantly for the last six years, but especially the last two. i think my mother would realize the missed opportunity with meghan being part of the institution and part of the monarchy. and i think she is looking forward to the time when william and i see eye to eye and are joined at the hip again.

>> some critics are saying well, you're taking private struggles and you're bringing them boo the public, and you're making money off of them.p>> for me, having y and the institution's part in constantly feeding the british press with lies, mistruths, misinformation, the way i can correct those mistruths is by writing something, the truth in one place without going through the same people that they chose to go through. >> harry reserves much of his frustration for the british press, claiming a member of the royal family refused to set the record straight on false reports, especially about his wife meghan, shifting a negative spotlight on to her in order to protect other royals. >> they pitched the waless, right, of which kate and william are now against the sussexes, me and my wife. they pitched kate and meghan against each other. >> harry says women who marry

into his family face intense media scrutiny. but when it came to meghan, he said the british press used her race against her. >> my wife is notblk, but that's who incredibly relatable to everybody else of color. >> with the paparazzi playing a role in his mother's deadly car crash, harry said that he fears the relentless british media coverage of his family could endanger meghan and their son archie. >> i'm trying to put a stop to this because i can't ever imagine, and i don't want to imagine history repeating itself, right. >> by 2020, they had had enough. harry writes that he suggested a possible solution to the royal family, a hybrid proposal that would have allowed them to split their time between canada and the uk while still serving the queen. >> we didn't want to leave. we wanted to carry on serving the queen. >> there was no compromise with the family? >> no, there was no compromise, which is really sad because i

still to this day believe that this was entirely possible. >> recently, you lost your grandmother. did she ever express that she was upset at you? >> for what? >> for wanting to change your role within the family? >> no, she -- my grandmoher and i had a very good relationship. but i had many, many conversations with her, both in the uk, over the years and the run-up to the point of this change. she knew what was going on. she knew how hard it was. she never said to me that she was angry. i think she was sad that it had got to that point. >> harry writes about the jealous he says his father and stepmother camilla had over, quote, someone new dominating the monarchy, end quote, and the idea of meghan overshadowing them. >> you and your father and brother casually brings up meghan, and casually drops in he didn't have enough to support

you both. how did that make you feel? where did that come from? >> my father was ultimately responsible for both me and my brother and our partners and our families. so it did seem a little bit strange that somehow the rules were being changed or that i was being guided on a very different path, or my partner was being guided on a very different path should we end up getting married. >> prince harry also opens up about his feelings for his stepmother, now the queen consort. >> when your father married camilla, you wrote i had complex feelings about gaining a stepparent who i thought recently sacrificed me on her personal pr altar. what has she done at that point you felt? >> i have a huge amount of cam passion for her, you know, being the third person within my parents' marriage, and she had a

reputation or an image to rehabilitate. ad whatever conversations happened, whatever deals or trading was made right at the beginning, she was led to believe that that would be the best way of doing it. >> he also writes that he and his brother begged his father not to marry her. and what is your relationship with camilla now? >> we haven't spoken for a long time. you know, i love every member of my family, despite the differences. i don't look at her as an evil stepmother. i see someone who has done everything that she can to, you know, improve her own reputation and her own image. >> camilla was famously called the third person in his parents' marriage by princess diana. throughout the book, prince harry describes being haunted by his mother's death. >> the first time i cried was at the burial. >> and after that, you say you didn't cry for years.

>> no. >> why? >> it wasn't through lack of trying. i tried, believe me, i tried. but there was -- there was nothing there. it was -- i was numb. >> did you feel guilty for not crying? >> once i started therapy, i started to understand that, or at least i thought that there was this huge weight on my chest due to the fact that i hadn't cried, and that my mom needed me to cry, or i needed to cry to prove to my mom that i missed her. i realized actually she didn't want me to cry. she really just wanted me to be happy. >> but it took a while for you to get there. you talk about how for a while, in your mind -- >> magical thinking. >> you think she's hiding. >> 100% i think it's a defense mechanism. i think for anyone, especially if you're a kid. i was 12 years old. i refused to accept that that was -- that was what had happened. >> harry recalling a visit to his mother's grave in 2017 and a candid conversation he says he shared with his brother.

>> he felt as though she was very much in his life and helped set him up. and he felt as though she had now moved over and was helping me set my life up. i think she would be heartbroken that it's ended up where it's ended up. >> you said you want your father and brother back. do you think that this book is going to bring them back or are they going to further divide you? >> i have thought about it long and hard. and as far as i see it, the divide couldn't be greater before this book. i genuinely believe that if me and my family can reconcile, can put our differences behind us, but first there needs to be conversation and accountability. and if that doesn't happen, then that's very sad, but i will focus on my life, my amazing family that i'm so grateful to have, my two kids who are bouncing up and down on me this morning. i'm not angry anymore. there are things that will still anger me, but i'm not angry

anymore because i am exactly where i'm supposed to be. >> our thanks to michael. we received a response from the law firm representing buckingham palace earlier today saying that the palace needed to, quote, consider exactly what is said in the interview and the context in which it appears, end quote. and asks that we supply them immediately with a copy of the entire interview. but we do not do that as a matter of policy at abc news. coming up, the worldwide matter of policy at abc news. coming up, the worldwide reactions to prince harry's to help protect from hiv, i prep without pills. with apretude a prescription medicine used to reduce the risk of hiv without daily prep pills. with one shot every other month, just 6 times a year. in studies, apretude was proven superior to a daily prep pill in reducing the risk of hiv. you must be hiv negative to receive apretude and get tested before each injection. if you think you were exposed to hiv or have flu-like symptoms, tell your doctor right away. apretude does not prevent other sexually transmitted infections.

everyone, it seems, has an opinion about prince harry's revelations, his unprecedented press interviews making waves across the globe, but did he share too much? some say he's entitled to his truths, but others in his native britain accusing him of selling out the royal family's privacy for millions of dollars. prince harry on a media blitz unlike any other, smashing royal rules about talking to the press, from "60 minutes" -- >> you know, the family motto is never complain, never explain, but it's just a motto. >> to britain's itv. >> the interview. >> the interview. what an original name. >> describing prince william and kate's alleged treatment of his then girlfriend meghan markle, the biracial divorced american actress. >> the way they were acting or behaving definitely felt to me as though unfortunately that stereotyping was causing a bit of a barrier to them really introducing or welcoming her in. >> we never thought we'd see the

day where a prince of the united kingdom was telling the so-called family secrets. >> harry spilling more sordid details about life behind palace walls while promoting his new memoir "spare," which reportedly includes details like his brother william and then girlfriend kate encouraging him to wear a nazi uniform to a 2005 costume party, that he killed 25 taliban fighters in afghanistan during his army service, and that william smelled of alcohol just hours before his 2011 wedding to kate. >> this is a story of an incredibly hurt member of the family that has experienced some genuinely awful things within the institution of the monarchy, but also clearly has unfinished business with some of these family members. >> the book accidentally going on sale early in spain, its contents widely reported across multiple media outlets around the world. >> there are always two sides to every story, and i'm sure that some of those stories harry has said have been -- not

necessarily embellished, but they're from his point of view. they're his truth. >> the british media often a central character in "spare." >> the media are both the subject of the story and reporting on the story. so it begs the question to which extent can it really be impartial reporting, especially when he made so many allegations against the british media in particular. >> "spare," the latest tell-all after harry and meghan's six-part netflix series. >> i wasn't being thrown to the wolves. i was being fed to the wolves. >> they were actively recruiting people to disseminate misinformation. >> and the blockbuster 2021 oprah interview in which the couple famously claimed an unnamed member of the royal family asked a shocking question about their son archie. >> so we have in tandem the conversation of he won't be given security. he is not going to be given a title. and also concerns and conversations about how dark his

skin might be when he is born. >> what? >> harry now clarifying to itv that moment was an example of what he calls the royal family's unconscious bias. >> she said there were troubling comments about archie's skin color. >> about his skin color. >> right. wouldn't you describe that as essentially racist? >> i wouldn't, not having lived in that family. >> from the case of there being questions about archie's skin color, that may have risen as a result of unconscious bias. it may have been not harmful in its origins, but it certainly had a harmful effect, and the effect was racism. >> harry himself now facing scrutiny for exposing family tensions, including with his stepmother, camilla. >> i do think that criticizing camilla, calling her a villain and dangerous is a red line for charles. will he respond? no. will he show action and respond that way? possibly. will harry be invited to the coronation? i doubt it.

>> the royal family weathering many scandals, but many now asking can the windsors survive harry's latest grenades? >> when harry told us that his brother allegedly attacked him, he wasn't telling us that about his brother. he was telling us that about the future king of england. >> as the book hits shelves in the uk tonight, many brits are taking opposing sides. >> he is also a human being and has right to his own opinions and his ability to say, you know, how he feels in real life. so i do have a bit of sympathy for him. >> you've got harry and meghan, who are making tens of millions of pounds washing their dirty laundry, their family laundry in public. >> we must remember, people have compared what he has done to princess diana. princess diana did speak clearly. she needed to get out of a marriage that she didn't want to be in, but she didn't make $20 million on the back of it. >> harry says he hasn't spoken the his father or his brother in

a while. and with the new round of press from harry's tell-all, it's unclear when they will. >> i think harry hopes by putting it all out there, he is forcing them to respond to that stuff. they may do in time, but i don't know if that will actually change the way the family members feel about him. >> we'll be right back. moderate to severe eczema still disrupts my skin. despite treatment it disrupts my skin with itch. it disrupts my skin with rash. but now, i can disrupt eczema with rinvoq. rinvoq is not a steroid, topical, or injection. it's one pill, once a day, that's effective without topical steroids. many taking rinvoq saw clear or almost-clear skin while some saw up to 100% clear skin. plus, they felt fast itch relief some as early as 2 days. that's rinvoq relief. rinvoq can lower your ability to fight infections, including tb. serious infections and blood clots, some fatal, cancers including
