Prince Harry 'can't see' royal family return as he issues blunt reply in bombshell interview

Prince Harry has given a blunt response abut his royal future during another trailer for a tell-all-interview.

The Duke of Sussex has sat down for two chats recently, with one set to air in the UK and the other to be broadcast in the US. The trailers come ahead of the release of Prince Harry's memoir 'Spare', with both interviews to be released on Sunday night two days before the book hits shelves.

The latest clip from the US - when Harry sat down with Anderson Cooper for a special episode of CBS show 60 Minutes - features the Duke explaining wether or not he plans to return to the royal fold.

The 20 second teaser shows the interviewer ask: "Can you see a day when you would return as a full-time member of the Royal Family?" To which Harry simply and bluntly replies: "No".

In a previously trailer for the interview, Harry claimed the Firm will issue statements to protect some members of the royal family but not others, stating "there becomes a point where silence is betrayal", reports The Mirror.

The clip begins with the Cooper asking: "One of the criticisms that you have received is that OK fine, you want to move to California and you want to step back from the institutional role, why be so public? You say you tried to do this privately?"

With Harry responding: "And every single time I've tried to do it privately, there has been briefings and leakings and planting of stories against me and my wife. You know the family motto is never complain, never explain but it's just a motto and it doesn't really hold."

The interviewer added: "So there is a lot of complaining and explaining?"

With Harry replying: "Endless - through leaks. They will feed a conversation to the correspondent and that correspondent will literally be spoon fed and they'll write the story and at the bottom of it, they will say they reached out to Buckingham Palace for comment.

"But the whole story is Buckingham Palace commenting. So when we are 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, there becomes a point where silence is betrayal."

The US interview will air just hours after the ITV chat on Sunday night.

During the UK television chat with Tom Bradby, the Duke said: "I would like to get my father back, I would like to have my brother back”.

In a serious of clips teasing the upcoming show, Harry says "It never needed to be this way" and refers to "the leaking and the planting" before adding "I want a family, not an institution".

He also says "they feel as though it is better to keep us somehow as the villains" and that "they have shown absolutely no willingness to reconcile", although it is unclear who he refers to.

Filmed in California where Harry now lives, ITV said Harry: The Interview will go into "unprecedented depth and detail" about his life in and outside the royal family.
