Prince Harry reveals the ‘central piece’ of rift with royal family in new bombshell interview

Prince Harry has revealed the “central piece” that contributed to the breakdown of his relationship with the royal family.

The Duke of Sussex, 39, has blamed his legal battles with the British tabloids for worsening his relations with the Firm, adding that his estranged family’s unwillingness to fight against them has also added fuel to the fire.

“I think that’s certainly a central piece to it,” Harry told ITV’s Rebecca Barry as part of the network’s new documentary titled “Tabloids on Trial.”

“But that’s a hard question to answer, because anything I say about my family results in a torrent of abuse from the press,” he added.

The new hour-long documentary focuses on the 2011 phone hacking scandal, as well as the multiple lawsuits Harry has brought forward against publishers in recent years.

“I’ve made it very clear that this is something that needs to be done, it would be nice if we did it as a family,” the father of two said.
