"The relationship [with William] is space at the moment. Time heals all things," he added.

"There's a lot to work through there, you know? I feel really let down, because he's been through something similar," he continued. "He knows what pain feels like, and this is-- and Archie's his grandson. But, at the same time, you know, I-- of course I will always love him, but there's a lot of hurt that's happened. And-- and I will continue to make it one of my priorities to try and heal that relationship."
As for Queen Elizabeth II, Prince Harry had nothing but kind words to say about his grandmother. He reiterated that he has a "good relationship" with Her Majesty.
"I've spoken more to my grandmother in the last year than I have done for many, many years," Prince Harry said. "My grandmother and I have a really good relationship... And an understanding. And I have a deep respect for her. She's my colonel in chief, right? She always will be."
