In an interview with GQ magazine about grief and family, recorded in New York in late September and published on Tuesday, Harry was asked if he grieves his “complicated” relationship with his father and brother.

“Yes, of course,” he replied, adding that people often ask him about it because it’s a “massively relatable issue for so many people.”

“Some people don’t want it to work out – I want it to work out,” he said. “Of course I do … with everything else that’s going on in the world, the most important thing is to reconcile — that’s the key point.”

The couple’s criticism in interviews included accusing an unspecified royal of racism and calling palace staff insensitive to Meghan’s mental health.
