Prince Harry says he hopes to reconcile ‌with King Charles and the rest of his family after falling out with them when he moved to the United States six years ago.

Harry, 42, ‌the King’s younger son, caused a huge rupture in the royal family when he and his wife Meghan quit royal duties in 2020 and moved to California, from where they were highly critical of the institution.

He has barely spoken to his older brother, heir Prince William, for years, and his family has only recently met up again with Charles.

In an interview with GQ magazine, Harry, who relocated back to the United Kingdom in August with Meghan and their two children, said he wanted to patch things up.

“With everything else that’s going on in the world, ‌the most important thing ‌is to reconcile,” he ⁠told GQ.

He said he could understand the fascination with his family’s situation, as people could relate ​to it.

“There’s sibling disagreements, there’s broken relationships between kids and their parents, kids and one parent,” he said.

Some people might be inspired by efforts to reconcile and this could help their own relationships.

“And some people don’t want it to work out. I want it to work out,” he added.

Harry’s spokesperson said those latter comments were not meant as a swipe at William or any other family members.

Harry, the Duke of Sussex, went on to tell ⁠GQ that while “scars stick around forever”, he wanted to encourage everybody to let ‌go of the ​past.

“For me, there’s enough drama in the world and enough drama in people’s lives than to continue with issues with family,” he said.

“It’s not ​worth it.”

In the lengthy interview, Harry discussed themes he has previously talked about, such as the effect of losing his ​mother Princess Diana when he was 12 and his mental health struggles.

But he also talked about why he had returned to the UK, saying that being able to put his children in a British school “has meant a lot to me”.

“I didn’t know how important ​it ​was to me. I always thought it was going to be ​something that we would try and do, but now they’ve been in ‌school for two weeks. They’re loving it and it’s just giving them a whole different experience.”

The interview comes amid reports that Harry and Meghan hate the phrase “working members of the royal family” because they are “members of the royal family and they work”.

Although the King clarified the couple’s positions on their return to England, their visit to several charities in the city of Nottingham last week looked very much like a traditional royal engagement.

Harry told GQ he hoped that his fraught relationship with the UK press, which partly led to him leaving in the first place and has led to a number of lawsuits against newspaper groups, would also now be better.

“My hope is that it will change,” he said.

“There have been some battles that have been fought, necessarily so. But hopefully we can ​all draw a line under that.

“As with everything else that’s going on in the world, there’s aspects of the past that I’m ​sure all of us, me, my family, some ⁠of the British press, that we’d all like to leave behind us and work for the ​greater good.”
