Prince Harry says he has accepted there may never be an apology from his family
Prince Harry has said he has come to terms with the idea that he may never receive “genuine accountability or a genuine apology” from members of the royal family, as he and his wife focus on their future away from royal life.
Speaking in the Harry & Meghan, Harry reflected on the years of tension that followed his decision to step back from royal duties alongside Meghan Markle. He explained that repeated attempts to resolve private disputes had failed, leading the couple to prioritise moving forward rather than seeking reconciliation.
“My wife and I, we’re moving on. We’re focused on what’s coming next,” Harry said, underlining a clear shift away from public expectations of apologies or admissions of wrongdoing.
According to reporting around the series, the comments come amid ongoing distance between the Sussexes and the wider royal household. Palace sources have previously suggested that relationships remain strained, particularly following the couple’s media interviews, legal battles, and the publication of Harry’s memoir.
The documentary, released on Netflix, presents the couple’s perspective on their experiences within the monarchy and the pressures they say contributed to their departure. Buckingham Palace has maintained a consistent policy of not commenting on personal family matters, especially those aired through media productions.
For Harry and Meghan, the message appears clear: rather than waiting for closure from the past, they are choosing to invest their energy in their life and projects in the United States, signalling a long-term commitment to independence from the royal institution.
