Prince Harry defended the publication, more than two years ago, of his explosive autobiography “Spare” (“The Substitute”), a source of discord with his family, saying he had “a clear conscience”.
In an interview with the “Guardian” in kyiv, where he went on Friday with his Foundation, the Invictus Games Foundation, the youngest son of Charles III returned to the sensitive subject of his autobiography, a huge best-seller, but which was perceived as a full-blown attack on the institution that saw him born and on those close to him.
A “focus”, not a “revenge”
“It is not a question of revenge, but of responsibility,” he assured in this interview broadcast on Sunday, believing that it was rather a clarification “in the face of stories (ndle: about him) published in the press”.
“I don’t think I’ve washed my dirty laundry in public. It was a difficult message, but I did it the best I could. I have a clear conscience,” he added.
Tea with his father, King Charles
Before flying to Ukraine, the Duke of Sussex spent four days in his native country where he devoted most of his time to his charitable works.
But, to everyone’s surprise, he spent an hour with his father on WednesdayKing Charles. The two men had not seen each other since February 2024, when Harry, who left the royal family and has lived in California since 2020, jumped on a plane learning that his father was suffering from cancer.
Harry told the BBC in May that he “would very much like to reconcile with (his) family”, after five years of resentment and heartbreak.
