Prince Harry says King Charles, Prince William have 'shown absolutely no willingness to reconcile': 'It never needed to be this way'

Prince Harry says the royal family's "silence is betrayal."

Ahead of the release of his memoir Spare, the British royal gave two interviews, to Anderson Cooper for CBS's 60 Minutes in the U.S. and Tom Bradby for ITV in the U.K., in which he talks about messy relations with his famous family.

In a clip from the CBS interview, which airs Sunday, Cooper brings up criticism Harry has faced from people saying that he stepped down as a senior royal and moved to California with wife Meghan Markle, yet they continue to publicly air their grievances about the royal family, most recently in their recent Netflix documentary, Harry & Meghan. King Charles's younger son insists he's tried to handle things privately with no success.

"Every single time I tried to do it privately there have been briefings and leakings and planting of stories against me and my wife," he said. "You know, the family motto is: 'Never complain, never explain.' But it's just a motto. It doesn't really hold

Harry said there has been "endless" complaining and explaining from the royal family through the media. He claimed that royal family members, through their various press offices and spokespeople, plant stories about them in newspapers through unnamed sources. (According to Yahoo U.K.'s royal executive editor Omid Scobie, "royal sources" are often "anonymous palace aides.")

"They will feed or have a conversation with the correspondent and that correspondent will ... be spoon-fed information and write the story," Harry claimed. "At the bottom of [the article, it] will say they have reached out to Buckingham Palace for comment, but the whole story is Buckingham Palace commenting. So when we're being told for the last six years, 'We can't put a statement out to protect you.' But you do it for other members of the family. It becomes — there becomes a point when silence is betrayal."

He also made clear he has no plans to return as a senior member of the royal family.

Meanwhile, Harry said in the ITV interview, which also airs Sunday, that "it never needed to be this way," but "the leaking and the planting" of stories drove a wedge.

"I want a family, not an institution," he said. "They've shown absolutely no willingness to reconcile. I would like to get my father back. I would like to have my brother back."

However, he said the royals "feel as though it is better to keep us somehow as the villains."

Bradby has known Harry for more than 20 years and interviewed him with Markle during their 2019 trip to Africa, memorably asking Markle how her mental health was amid the pressure of royal life.

Both new interviews with Harry took place in California, where he and Markle reside with their two children, Archie, 3, and Lilibet, 1, after leaving England. His book, Spare, comes out on Jan. 10.

Spare publisher, Penguin, described the memoir as "intimate and heartfelt." Harry said in the book's press release that he wrote it "not as the prince I was born but as the man I have become... My hope is that in telling my story – the highs and lows, the mistakes, the lessons learned – I can help show that no matter where we come from, we have more in common than we think." He promised an "account of my life that’s accurate and wholly truthful." He donated proceeds from Spare to two different charities: $1,500,000 to Sentebale and £300,000 to the WellChild charity.

 

Prince Harry Tells Anderson Cooper Why He Decided To Speak Out Publicly Amid Criticism In ‘60 Minutes’ Interview – Update

Prince Harry is speaking about why he and and his wife Meghan, the Duchess of Sussex, decided to air their grievances publicly after stepping back from the royal family.

In a new clip released Monday for his upcoming interview with Anderson Cooper on CBS’ 60 Minutes, Harry tells Cooper he tried to address the situation privately.

“And every single time I tried to do it privately there have been briefings and leakings and planting of stories against me and my wife,” he said. “You know, the family motto is ‘Never complain, never explain.’ It’s just a motto.”

The interview on 60 Minutes comes after the release of the Netflix docuseries Harry & Meghan, in which Prince Harry and wife Meghan Markle made several revelations and blamed the Daily Mail for Markle’s miscarriage, among other things.

You can watch the clip above and read details of the upcoming interview below.

PREVIOUS, January 31: Prince Harry is sitting down with Anderson Cooper for an interview on 60 Minutes. The royal’s appearance on the CBS program is scheduled to air on Sunday, January 8.

Harry’s interview will be his first U.S. television appearance to discuss his memoir “Spare.”

Watch the preview below.

The interview on 60 Minutes comes after Prince Harry’s Netflix documentary with his wife Meghan Markle, Harry & Meghan. The show’s logline said, “The Duke and Duchess of Sussex share the other side of their high-profile love story.” Harry & Meghan also explored “the clandestine days of their early courtship and the challenges that led to them feeling forced to step back from their full-time roles in the institution.”

Throughout the six-episode documentary series, the couple made several revelations and blamed the Daily Mail for Markle’s miscarriage. The publication brought to light a private letter Markle had written to her father and all the media attention it received caused a lot of stress to the former Suits star, who was pregnant at the time.

“I believe my wife suffered a miscarriage because of what The Mail did. I watched the whole thing,” Prince Harry said.

He added: “Now, do we absolutely know that the miscarriage was caused by that? Of course, we don’t. But bearing in mind the stress that caused, the lack of sleep, and the timing of the pregnancy, how many weeks in she was. I can say from what I saw that miscarriage was created by what they were trying to do to her.”

 

From 'Pathaan' to 'Kisi Ka Bhai Kisi Ki Jaan': Top upcoming Bollywood movies in 2023

The year 2023 may hold the key to Bollywood's revival with a strong line-up of upcoming releases, including the ones that will mark the silver-screen return of huge superstars like Shah Rukh Khan, Salman Khan, and Anushka Sharma among others.

In 2022, only a few Bollywood films like Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2 and Drishyam 2 turned out to be blockbusters. But 2023 could change the game with the releases of films like Pathaan, Kisi Ka Bhai Kisi Ki Jaan, Rocky Aur Rani Ki Prem Kahaani, and many more.

Shah Rukh Khan, Deepika Padukone and John Abraham's Pathaan is one of the most, awaited film of the year for one reason: King Khan on the big screen after four long years. The return will see SRK in an all new action avatar in Yash Raj Films’ action spectacle, directed by Siddharth Anand.

Om Raut's directorial Adipurush is the cinematic adaptation of the Indian epic Ramayana. Starring Prabhas, Kriti Sanon, Saif Ali Khan and Sunny Singh, Adipurush has grabbed eyeballs since its inception. However, the release of Adipurush has been postponed. The move came after the teaser for the big-budget film drew flak for its quality of the visual effects and CGI. The film will be released in Hindi, Telugu, Tamil, Malayalam, and Kannada.

Espionage thriller Mission Majnu will be released directly on Netflix on January 20, 2023. Fronted by Sidharth Malhotra and Rashmika Mandanna, the film was earlier scheduled to hit screens in June, 2022. Directed by Shantanu Bagchi, the 1970s-set film features Malhotra as an Indian intelligence agent, who leads a covert operation on Pakistani soil. Inspired by true events, the upcoming movie also stars Kumud Mishra, Parmeet Sethi, Sharib Hashmi, Mir Sarwar and Zakir Hussain.

Bollywood filmmaker Karan Johar will be making his directorial comeback with Rocky Aur Rani Ki Prem Kahani. The upcoming romantic drama film Rocky aur Rani Ki Prem Kahani stars Ranveer Singh, Alia Bhatt, Dharmendra, Jaya Bachchan and Shabana Azmi in lead roles. It marks the return of Karan as a director after Ae Dil Hai Mushkil (2016).

Salman Khan's highly-anticipated Eid release Kisi Ka Bhai Kisi Ki Jaan was announced when he completed 34 years in the Hindi film industry. The film is directed by Farhad Samji, known for movies such as Housefull 4 and Bachchhan Paandey. Produced by the actor's banner Salman Khan Films, the film also features Pooja Hegde and Venkatesh Daggubati.

Kartik Aaryan's Shehzada is the Hindi remake of the Telugu blockbuster Ala Vaikunthapurramuloo which starred Allu Arjun and Pooja Hegde. The movie helmed by David Dhawan's son Rohit Dhawan, also stars Kriti Sanon and was initially scheduled to release last year in November.

It looks like it is going to be the year of the Khan's. Shah Rukh Khan and Nayanthara's Jawan's created quite a buzz, especially with King Khan's uncanny look. The film is set to hit the theatres in June this year across five languages - Hindi, Tamil, Telugu, Malayalam and Kannada. Helmed by Atlee Kumar, Jawan is produced by Gauri Khan, and presented by Red Chillies Entertainment.

Salman Khan's highly anticipated action thriller is set to be released on Diwali 2023. The third instalment in Bhaijaan's much loved franchise also stars Katrina Kaif. Back in March 2022, a minute-long Tiger 3 teaser was shared in which Salman, with all his swag, said, "Tiger is always ready." Directed by Maneesh Sharma, the film has been produced by Aditya Chopra and also sees Emraan Hashmi.

Director Luv Ranjan's upcoming rom-com Tu Jhoothi Main Makkaar will bring together actors Ranbir Kapoor and Shraddha Kapoor on-screen for the first time. Ranjan recently revealed the duo's first look via the film's poster on social media.

The King Khan of Bollywood, who has been featured with a number of actresses over his 3-decade-long career, will grace the silver screen with Thappad actor Taapsee Pannu for the first time in Rajkumar Hirani's drama film Dunki, which is set to release by the end of 2023.

The Most Perfect Movies to Watch When You Want to Shut Off Your Brain

On those days when we just want to escape from our minds, watching any of these movies is the perfect plan.

It is safe to say that movies are one of society's greatest allies. Whether we like it or not, they are present in every stage of our lives, running through us and, to a greater or lesser extent, shaping us as people. Over the years, thanks to the magic of cinema, iconic figures have emerged, as well as popular quotes to live by that are endlessly used and millions of elements that are part of the popular culture and permeate our lives. There is a constant feedback between reality and fiction that grows stronger every year and keeps striking us.
Another certainty is that, regardless of the genre in question, the vast majority of people love movies. At some point in our lives, we have all experienced the thrill of sitting down in the theater to finally watch that movie we've been waiting months for, or the disappointment whenever that long-awaited premiere didn't live up to our expectations. Movies keep us company on our best days, and also on those that are not so great. Sometimes our routine can be exhausting, so at the end of the day, all we want to do is make ourselves comfortable, have a snack or our favorite drink, and simply turn off our brains. In those cases, movies are also there for us, offering hundreds of ideal choices to enjoy without having to think too much. The possibilities are endless, and certainly vary depending on the personal taste of each viewer. Here are 10 movies that are perfect for this kind of situations.

2009's Avatar is an excellent choice to get lost for a while in a world that is totally different from our own. Directed, written, and co-produced by James Cameron, together with Jon Landau, this movie introduces Pandora, an exomoon inhabited by a humanoid species called Na'vi that houses a key mineral to end the Earth's energy crisis. Therefore, humans set out on a mission to colonize the place using advanced technology, but things will not be as easy as they think. This production stars Sam Worthington, Zoe Saldana, Stephen Lang, Michelle Rodriguez, and Sigourney Weaver. What's more, its sequel, Avatar: The Way of Water, is currently playing in theaters, and, per EW, is the first number-one movie of 2023.

Jeremy Renner is in “critical but stable” condition after a weather related accident.

“We can confirm Jeremy is in critical but stable condition with injuries suffered after experiencing a weather related accident while plowing snow earlier today,” Renner’s rep confirmed with Variety. “His family is with him and he is receiving excellent care.”

While the location of the accident was not confirmed, Renner has owned a home in Washoe County, Nevada for several years, according to the Reno Gazette Journal. That area in northern Nevada received heavy snowfall due to a storm on Near Year’s Eve, according to the newspaper.

In 2015, Renner posted an Instagram photo of a snowcat vehicle, which is used to travel over snowy terrain in difficult conditions.

In 2017, the actor revealed that he fractured his right elbow and his left wrist while filming the comedy “Tag.”

Renner has starred in multiple Marvel projects as Clint Barton / Hawkeye since the 2011 film “Thor.” In addition to being an Avenger, Renner has acted in numerous critical and commercial hits, including two films in the “Mission: Impossible” series, “Arrival,” “American Hustle” and “28 Weeks Later.” He has also been nominated for two Oscars, including a supporting nod for “The Town” and best actor nom for his work in “The Hurt Locker.”

He is currently starring in the Taylor Sheridan series “Mayor of Kingstown,” which is debuting its second season in January. He also recently teased an unscripted series he’s starring in at Disney Plus in 2023 called “Rennervations"
