Prince Harry was given the chance to verbally commit to attending King Charles III’s coronation in May — but the duke refused.
“There’s a lot that can happen between now and then,” the former military pilot told Tom Bradby in Thursday’s trailer for his upcoming ITV interview.
“But, the door is always open,” the 38-year-old continued. “The ball is in their court.
“There’s a lot to be discussed and I really hope that they’re willing to sit down and talk about it.”
In the candid conversation, which will air on Jan. 8 ahead of Harry’s memoir “Spare” hitting shelves, the royal defended writing the tell-all.
“I don’t know how staying silent is ever going to make things better,” the Duke of Sussex said, adding that critics “don’t understand” his motives.
Elsewhere in the clip, Harry confirmed that, “yes,” he still believes in the monarchy, but he is unsure whether he will “play a part in its future.”
Harry and his wife, Meghan Markle, stepped back from their royal duties in January 2020 and made their exits official in February of the following year.Previous
Since then, the couple have spoken out against the royal family in a March 2021 interview with Oprah Winfrey, as well as a Netflix docuseries, “Harry & Meghan,” which aired last month.
“Spare” will be released on Jan. 10 and has been pitched by publisher Penguin Random House as a “remarkably personal and emotionally powerful story.”
