PRINCE Harry has revealed he does want to go to King Charles' coronation - but insisted "the ball is in their court" in a new clip for his upcoming tell-all interview.

The Duke of Sussex admitted "there’s a lot that can happen between now and then" but added "I really hope that they’re willing to sit down and talk about it" in a new trailer released for the ITV interview.

His claims come as the Royal Family brace for more bombshells from Harry and Meghan with the duke giving two new interviews that will be aired on Sunday before his explosive biography Spare is released on Tuesday.

Bombshell claims from his book have already been released this morning by the Guardian, including that William "attacked" him in a row over Meghan Markle.

But in the new trailer released this morning, Harry hinted he still wants to reconcile with his family - and even wants to attend his father's coronation as King in May.

He told Tom Bradby: “There’s a lot that can happen between now and then.

“But, the door is always open. 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.”

Harry was then asked if he still believes in the monarchy - to which he replied "yes".

But when asked if he thought he would play a part in its future he answered: “I don’t know.”

The full 90-minute interview, filmed in California, will air on Sunday - two days before Spare is released.

It comes after Harry accused Prince William of "knocking him to the floor" during an argument about Meghan Markle.

Harry alleges William "grabbed me by the collar, ripping my necklace, and … knocked me to the floor" in an extract of the book reported by the Guardian.

The duke claims he was left with a visible injury to his back following the argument in 2019 at Nottingham Cottage on the grounds of Kensington Palace, where he was living at the time.


The explosive revelations in Harry's book include:

  • Prince Harry’s bombshell book accidentally goes on sale early in Spain – and The Sun has one of the first copies
  • Prince Harry claimed his brother William 'attacked' him in a row over Meghan Markle
  • Harry called his therapist instead of Meghan after the confrontation with his brother
  • Charles pleaded with Harry and William not to 'make his final years a misery'
  • The Duke of Sussex revealed the nicknames he uses with William
  • Meanwhile, seven times Harry was welcomed by the Royals have been revealed
  • Harry claimed William and Kate Middleton encouraged him to wear the infamous Nazi uniform

Harry says William was already "piping hot" when he arrived wanting to talk about their deteriorating relationship.

According to Harry, it turned into a shouting match as William complained about his wife Meghan, calling her "rude" and "abrasive".

William insisted he was trying to help.

The Duke of Sussex responded: "Are you serious? Help me? Sorry – is that what you call this? Helping me?”

Harry claims he then poured William a glass of water and said: "Willy, I can’t speak to you when you’re like this."

He then says his brother called him "another name" and then "came at me".

Harry claims: "It all happened so fast. He grabbed me by the collar, ripping my necklace, and he knocked me to the floor.

"I landed on the dog’s bowl, which cracked under my back, the pieces cutting into me. I lay there for a moment, dazed, then got to my feet and told him to get out.”

He says William told him to hit him back but he refused, and so his brother left "looking regretful, and apologised".

The extract of Harry's book has been published by the Guardian. It is unclear how they obtained an early copy.
