Prince Harry's long-awaited interview with Tom Bradby for ITV took place on Sunday evening, and for the most part, the Duke of Sussex didn't hold back.
There was one aspect of his life that he wasn't willing to answer a question about, however and related to his personal conversations with his brother, Prince William.

When asked by his interviewer: "What would you say to William if he's watching this?" Harry at first responded: "What would I say to him if I'm watching this?"
Tom persisted: "Well what d'you think he's thinking?" To which Harry replied: "I'm not gonna share – I'm not gonna share what I say…"

"And with regard to this interview I – I don’t know whether they’ll be, you know, watching this or not, but, what they have to say to me and what I have to say to them will be in private, and I hope it can stay that way".
The interview took place ahead of Harry's conversation with American TV host Anderson Cooper on Sunday night, both of which come before the launch of the Prince's bombshell new memoir Spare.
The book had been the subject of feverish speculation in the weeks leading up to its release, not least last week, when a Spanish version was leaked.

Regrettable though William and Harry's discord is, there is cause for hope as British history is littered with rifts between royal brothers far worse than theirs. Here are six fraternal fallouts which turned really nasty.
