Prince Harry Says He Wants to Reconcile With His Family

Prince Harry has said he wants to reconcile with his family, but that some people do not want things to work out. He made the remarks in an interview with GQ Magazine, as reported by HELLO! on 23 October 2026.

The interview's timing drew attention because it coincided with a state visit by the Sultan of Oman. A state visit is a formal trip hosted by the monarch, with ceremony and official engagements. King Charles III and Queen Camilla received Sultan Haitham bin Tarik at Windsor Castle, where a ceremonial welcome took place in the quadrangle, the castle's inner courtyard. The King and Queen posed with the Sultan ahead of the State Banquet, the formal dinner held during such visits. HELLO!'s Royal Editor, Emily Nash, covered the visit.

Harry's camp has said the GQ interview was not deliberately timed to coincide with the Oman visit. They also say they did not know when it would be published. HELLO! reported that position alongside the interview.

Harry's remark that "some people don't want it to work out" has also been clarified. A spokesman for Harry said it was not aimed at his brother, Prince William. The spokesman's statement answers the question many readers will ask first: who the comment was about.

The Royal Editor's piece, which HELLO! published on the same day, is written as a question-and-answer feature. Its headline points to the royal news of the week, but the core facts are the interview, the Oman visit and the two statements on timing and on William.

Further comment from the palace has not been reported.
