Prince Harry has likened the royal family to 'abusers' in his bombshell interview with journalist Tom Bradby on ITV.

After stepping down from his Royal duties alongside wife Meghan Markle back in 2020, Prince Harry began to speak out against the Royal family - something which has left his family increasingly frustrated.

In his most recent bombshell interview, the Duke of Sussex has further slammed the Royal family, claiming that their treatment of him has been borderline abusive in recent years.

Speaking to Tom, Prince Harry said about his family: "Well they’ve shown absolutely no willingness to reconcile up until this point. And I'm not sure how honesty is burning bridges.

"You know, silence only allows the abuser to abuse. Right? So I don’t know how staying silent is ever gonna make things better. That’s genuinely what I believe."

During the explosive interview, Prince Harry also continuously slammed the UK press, claiming that it is at the epicentre of so many of the problems in is life, and that the media have painted him in the 'worst light'.

ITV viewers saw Harry respond after Tom told the Duke of Sussex that the people of the UK just want him to 'shut up'.

"There are a lot of people in Britain who support you, there are a lot of people in Britain who are annoyed with you and wish you would shut up and stop talking about it and leave it," Tom said to Harry.

In response, Harry asked: "Stop talking about what?"

"The issues that you’ve raised during the course of this interview, you know, not talk about your family, not talk about the press, not talk about all these things and I think there are some people in the middle who are listening but kind of think ‘He does seem to spend a lot of time looking back, not looking forward," Tom replied.

"You're like, fine, you wanted to leave the family, start a new life, that’s great, good for you, but is there a danger that you're looking back too much do you think? Do you worry about that for yourself," he went on to ask Prince Harry.

In response, Harry insisted that telling his story again and again was 'essential' to him, insisting that he doesn't intend on stopping anytime soon.

"We always knew that these two projects, both the Netflix documentary and the book, you know, one being our story and one very much being my story, they were look-back projects," Harry clapped back.

"They were necessary, they were essential for historical fact and significance. I don’t want my kids or other people of that age growing up thinking ‘Oh wow, this is what happens’, like no that’s not what happened. This is what happened."
