‘Some people don’t want to work it out!’

“Some people don’t want it to work out. I want it to work out,” he stated. “With everything else that’s going on in the world, the most important thing is to reconcile – that’s the key point.”

Harry also reflected on the lasting impact of familial conflict, noting that “scars stick around forever” but urging others to shift their mindset and release the burden of past grievances. “There’s enough drama in the world and enough drama in people’s lives to continue with issues with family,” he added.

The remarks came during an appearance on GQ’s One More Question series, a format that rarely features members of the Royal Family in such an unguarded setting. The Duke sat down with the magazine’s Senior Special Projects Editor, Zach Baron, for an extended filmed conversation.

During the wide-ranging exchange, Harry addressed several deeply personal subjects. He spoke frankly about the difficulties of growing up amid grief, his fraught history with the British media, and his efforts to take greater control over how he is perceived publicly.

The interview also saw the Prince discuss the current state of his family relationships, particularly in light of a major life change — his and Meghan’s decision to return to the United Kingdom with their two children.

The interview confirmed that Harry and Meghan have made the significant decision to move back to the United Kingdom with their two children. The relocation marks a dramatic shift for the couple, who had previously settled in the United States after stepping back from senior royal duties.

Harry spoke about the present state of his relationship with the Royal Family in the context of this return.

The move inevitably raises questions about how the Duke and Duchess will navigate proximity to the very family members with whom relations have been so publicly fractured.

The Prince acknowledged the complexity of these dynamics but framed reconciliation as his clear priority.

“People maybe look at us and go, ‘How are you gonna work it out? Maybe that will help me work my stuff out,'” he said, recognising the public fascination with his family’s situation.

LATEST ROYAL DEVELOPMENTS:

Beyond the family revelations, Harry reflected at length on the challenge of growing up surrounded by grief and the toll of his long-running adversarial relationship with the press. He described taking active steps to reclaim authority over his own public image.

The interview coincided with the release of a new MasterClass featuring the Duke alongside grief researcher Dr Mary-Frances O’Connor. Titled “Redefining Grief: Building Resilience Through Loss,” the course aims to help people navigate the experience of bereavement and loss.

The pairing of the filmed GQ conversation with the MasterClass launch suggests Harry is increasingly channelling his personal experiences into broader public advocacy around mental health and emotional resilience — subjects he has long championed but rarely addressed so directly on camera.
