Prince Harry is opening up about the royal family rift in a new GQ interview, and his message is refreshingly simple: he wants it to work out. Harry said he grieves his relationships with Prince William and King Charles, and that reconciliation is the most important thing. A spokesperson later clarified that his“some people”comment was not directed at his brother or his family, so put the conspiracy boards away.
The interview also got personal about grief. Harry said scars stick around forever, but he encouraged letting go of the past. He pointed out that sibling disagreements and complicated parent-child relationships come up constantly with the people he talks to, which is why this story lands even if you’ve never set foot in a palace. The rift itself goes back to 2020, when Harry and Meghan stepped down from senior royal duties, and the family has been finding its way back ever since. Harry and Meghan even moved back to England in August to enroll their kids in school.
So is this the start of a royal reconciliation? No one outside the family really knows. But“I want it to work out”is a whole lot more hopeful than silence. What do you think, can a family rift this big actually heal?
