Prince Harry is expected to lob more criticism at the Royal Family in broadcast interviews to promote his soul-baring new memoir, which has generated incendiary headlines even before its official release.
A prerecorded interview with Britain's ITV is scheduled to air Sunday evening. CBS show "60 Minutes" is set to run a conversation with the prince later, and he is appearing on "Good Morning America" and "The Late Show with Stephen Colbert."
In extracts released in advance, Harry tells ITV journalist Tom Bradby that he cried only once after his mother, Prince Diana, died in 1997 -- at her burial. He said he feels guilt about not showing emotion when he and his brother Prince William greeted crowds of mourners outside Kensington Palace, Diana's London home.
In the book, "Spare," Harry blames his family's stiff-upper-lip ethos, saying he had "learned too well the family maxim that crying is not an option."
"There were 50,000 bouquets of flowers to our mother and there we were shaking people's hands, smiling," Harry told ITV. "I've seen the videos, right, I looked back over it all. And the wet hands that we were shaking, we couldn't understand why their hands were wet, but it was all the tears that they were wiping away.
"Everyone thought and felt like they knew our mum, and the two closest people to her, the two most loved people by her, were unable to show any emotion in that moment."
"Spare" is the latest in a string of public pronouncements by the prince and his wife Meghan since they quit royal life and moved to California in 2020, citing what they saw as the media's racist treatment of Meghan, who is biracial, and a lack of support from the palace. It follows an interview with Oprah Winfrey and a six-part Netflix documentary released last month.
