Prince Harry makes an offer to talk to his family.
"The door is always open," says Harry in a Twitter teaser for an interview that British broadcaster ITV wants to broadcast in full on Sunday (10 p.m.CET).
He hopes his family is willing to sit down and talk about everything.
His memoirs will be published on Tuesday, also in German.
When asked if he wanted to attend his father's coronation in May, the 38-year-old replies evasively: "A lot can happen by then." In the same interview, Harry reveals that he wishes William and his father "back".
Now the palace must react.
In the interview, Harry describes how he and William felt when meeting grieving people in front of Kensington Palace after the death of their mother Diana in 1997.
"There were 50,000 bouquets for our mother, and there we were, shaking people's hands and smiling," says the prince.
»Everyone thought and felt that they knew our mother.
And the two people who were closest to her, who loved her the most, couldn't show any feelings at the moment." He cried only once - at Diana's funeral.
Harry is less forgiving on US TV
A few hours later, another interview with Harry will be broadcast on Monday night (1 a.m. CET) on US television.
In excerpts from this conversation that have already been published, the prince is less forgiving: journalists were secretly fed negative information about him and his wife Meghan (41), requests from the couple for counterstatements to press articles were always rejected by the royal family.
That's why he decided to go public himself, Harry said.
"There comes a point when silence becomes treason."
In the interview, the prince also talks about racism to which his wife was exposed.
He was naïve about how Meghan's ethnicity would affect coverage of their relationship, says Harry at CBS.
In Germany, Harry's conversation with the British broadcaster ITV will be shown on Monday (January 9) at 5 p.m. on RTL as part of the program »Exclusive Special: Harry – The Interview«.
Also available in German bookstores from Tuesday
Harry is also scheduled to appear on ABC's Good Morning America show on Monday.
All interviews accompany the publication of his autobiographical novel »Spare« (German: »Reserve«), which will be available in bookstores from Tuesday (January 10).
In Spain it was inadvertently available in some bookstores on Thursday.
Since then, British media have been reporting on spicy details of the memoirs.
In view of the content, an early reconciliation seems questionable.
Royal expert Michael Cole spoke on Saturday on Sky News about the "most sensational and destructive royal revelations" in almost 30 years.
In the book, Harry is said to have made the most serious allegations against his brother Prince William (40), who is said to have thrown him to the ground and injured him in an argument.
The triggers were therefore allegations against Meghan.
The rivalry with the big brother is already hinted at in the title of the book with the designation »Reserve«.
According to the statements that have become public, the brothers, who were once considered inseparable, have long been in bitter competition.
Harry describes William in the book as a "beloved brother" and "greatest adversary".
