In the first of a number of interviews promoting new memoir Spare, Prince Harry has said he’s “spent the last six years trying to get through to my family privately” before reaching the point of “fleeing my home country fearing for our lives.”
Sitting down for the highly-anticipated interview with friend and ITV Correspondent Tom Bradby, Harry said had spent almost the whole period of his relationship with wife Meghan Markle “writing letters, having conversations and writing emails ” but was always told “this is not what’s happening, you’re imagining it.”
“I have spent the last six years trying top get through to my family privately,” he said, in response to a question over his somewhat-critcized decision to go public with first Netflix documentary Harry & Meghan and now the book plus a set of interviews including three in the U.S.

Harry discussed the heart-wrenching death of mother Princess Diana 25 years ago, having read out an extract from the book when his father, now-King Charles III first told him his mother had died.

The most dramatic was The Guardian’s unveiling of an extraordinary physical attack Harry claims took place at the hands of his brother William in the book, in which William is said to have pushed Harry
