Prince Harry has spoken out about how he wants his “father and brother back” in clips released from a new interview.
ITV is due to air a new TV interview with Prince Harry this weekend, but before it hits our screens and the nation tunes in to watch, the broadcaster has released a 20-second trailer, where the former senior member of the Royal Family speaks openly about his wishes to “get my father back” and “have my brother back”.
The Duke of Sussex is also shown saying that he “wants a family, not an institution” in the trailer for the interview – which is titled Harry: The Interview.
During the interview, which is due to air this Sunday 8 January at 9pm, Prince Harry will speak to ITV journalist Tom Bradby about his personal relationships, and the death of his mother, Princess Diana, before he looks ahead at his future.
The interview is due to air two days before Harry’s autobiography, Spare, is published on 10 January.

This interview – which is due for release on the same day as another interview with Anderson Cooper on 60 Minutes in the US – comes after audiences globally have recently been captivated over the release of the new six-part Netflix documentary series, Harry & Meghan, which aired throughout December.

It also, of course, comes after the Duke and Duchess of Sussex famously announced that they would be stepping down as senior members of the Royal Family on 8 January 2020 – exactly three years prior to the date of the new interview airing.

In the 20-second interview trailer released this morning, Prince Harry speaks on how he believes “silence is betrayal” in reference to the alleged failure of Buckingham Palace to defend him and his wife before they stepped down as senior royals and moved to the US.
He also claimed that, since then, his family have “shown absolutely no willingness to reconcile”.
Adding that he feels it “never needed to be this way”, Harry said he believes his family “feel as though it is better to keep us somehow as the villains”.

“I would like to get my father back. I would like to get my brother back,” he said.

The trailer from the interview also shows Duke of Sussex speaking on how he has tried to keep his conversations with the Royal Family private, but has been forced to make his concerns public in a number of ways in order to combat stories in the tabloid press.
“Every single time I’ve tried to do it privately, there have been briefings and leakings and planting of stories against me and my wife,” he explained.
“They will feed or have a conversation with the correspondent, and that correspondent will literally be spoon-fed information and write the story, and at the bottom of it they will say that they’ve reached out to Buckingham Palace for comment – but the whole story is Buckingham Palace commenting.”
“You know, the family motto is ‘never complain, never explain’, but it’s just a motto,” he concludes.

Manchester Storm’s ‘own and loan’ scheme returns for 2026/27
Danny Jones
Manchester Storm have relaunched their much-loved ‘own and loan’ programme once again ahead of the 2026/27 season.
Having gone from a cult favourite option for die-hards to an increasingly popular choice among their growing number of supporters, it’s a great way for fans to get their hands on what could go on to be priceless collectables.
Set up over a decade and a half ago, the initiative has gone on to be replicated by multiple clubs in the Elite Ice Hockey League, across the country, and indeed beyond.
For anyone unclear on what exactly this scheme means for them, here’s all you need to know.
The own and loan sponsorship is essentially an opportunity not only to support the club and your favourite player, but to essentially reserve a valuable piece of match-worn memorabilia.
Put simply, fans can buy a squad member’s jersey and then loan it back to them for the season.
The shirt – be it home, away, created for cup tournaments or a special limited-edition sweater (of which MCR Storm have designed many over the years) – will then be worn throughout the course of the campaign before being given back to the owner, i.e. you.
Not just simply buying the shirt, but helping back the team’s talent, it’s one of the most direct ways people can contribute to the club.
The Greater Manchester side pioneered the push for this initiative here in the UK in the early 2010s, and with the local side now set to return to the AO Arena, where their journey began way back in 1995, you can expect plenty to mark the comeback with a special sponsored jersey.
Anyone who purchases an away strip will have their name featured throughout home games for the duration of the season – not a bad gift or way to secure a potential future collectors’ item.
You can see every player available to sponsor and find out all the information you need right HERE.
For regular matchgoers at the ‘Storm Shelter’, we’re sure it’ll be bittersweet to say goodbye to Planet Ice Altrincham, but just how excited are you about heading home to the AO Arena later this year?

League One set for an all-Greater Manchester playoff final as Bolton book trip to Wembley
Danny Jones
It’s official: we’re all set for a fully Greater Manchester League One playoff final as Bolton Wanderers are the latest to secure a return to Wembley against Stockport County.
The resurgent old Lancashire club clinched their spot in the knockout conclusion of the third division with a single strike in the second leg of the semis, and it wasn’t a bad finish, either.
Beating Bradford City 2-0 on aggregate, Bolton will now play familiar regional rivals Stockport, with Wanderers set to clash with County in a decisive derby once again.
Bolton‘s instinctive volley from Chelsea youth product and former Hull City man, Xavier Simons, resulted in some very satisfying limbs at Valley Parade.
The home fans did have plenty to cheer on the night, with efforts from Metcalfe, Power and Wright all either hitting the woodwork or being deflected just past it.
They thought they were level in the tie at one point after Kayden Jackson put the ball in the back of the net, but it was ultimately ruled out.
Agonising stuff for the Bradford supporters to burst into bedlam before the flag was raised for offside.
Many supporters will argue that the key moment came somewhat against the run of play, but The Trotters won’t care one bit as they book another trip down to the capital.
You can watch the rest of the highlights, including those scenes in the away end, down below.
Speaking even before the game, head coach Steven Schumacher told Sky Sports: “It’s a club we believe is bigger than this division, but this division is not easy to get out of.
“The expectation and the demand to get to the Championship is there, and once you’re in the building and you feel the mood when you win games, when you lose games, you can sense that this is a club that is desperate to get out and get to the next level.
“When you look at the size of both Bolton and Bradford and how well they are supported, both clubs are probably too big to be in League One. But that’s where both clubs find themselves, and one of us has got to find our way out of it if we can.”
You’d dare say he can practically smell promotion via the playoffs now; the local side has come quite a way since the lows of administration in 2019 and the bottom tier of the EFL – not without some heartbreaks in previous playoff finals – but could he be the one to get them back where they belong?
In case you missed the action from the other game, you can see more HERE, and to hear Schumacher’s thoughts after the decisive result, look no further…
