Prince Harry has said he had made public his rifts with the British royal family and taken on the press to try to help the monarchy and change the media, the latter described by his father King Charles as a "suicide mission".

He told Britain's ITV he had fled Britain with his family for California in 2020 "fearing for our lives" and said he no longer recognized his father or his elder brother Prince William, the heir to the throne. On Thursday, Harry's book "Spare" mistakenly went on sale in Spain five days before its official release, chronicling not only hugely personal details, such as how he lost his virginity and took illegal drugs, but more intimate private instances of family disharmony.
So far, there has been no comment from Buckingham Palace. Harry said he didn't think his father or brother would read his book. "I genuinely believe, and I hope, that reconciliation between my family and us will have a ripple effect across the entire world. Maybe that's lofty, maybe that's naive," he said.
Harry also told ITV he hoped his multiple legal actions against newspapers would help change the media, saying it was "at the epicenter of so many of the problems across the UK".Harry told 60 Minutes that what Meghan went through with the press was similar in some ways to what Camilla and William's wife Kate went through, but that the circumstances were very different.
