The Prince said: "It never needed to be this way, the leaking and the planting, I want a family - not an institution.
"They feel that it's somehow better to keep us as the villains. They've shown no willingness to reconcile.
"I would like to get my father back. I would like to have my brother back."
Michael Jermey, ITV director of news and current affairs, said: "It is extremely rare for a member of the Royal Family to speak so openly about their experience at the heart of the institution. Tom Bradby’s interview with Prince Harry will be a programme that everyone with an informed opinion on the monarchy should want to watch."
Ian Rumsey, ITN productions managing director and executive producer, said: "Harry's version of events contains many elements we've never heard before, as viewers will see. It is a raw and intimate perspective on his relationships with the people closest to him and the moments that have shaped him."
Harry: The Interview on ITV1 and ITVX at 9pm on January 8
