Prince Charles and William are 'trapped' in the Royal Family, reveals Prince Harry

Opening up for the first time after moving to the United States with wife Meghan and son Archie, Prince Harry on Sunday said that he felt “really let down” by his father, Prince Charles after quitting Britain over harsh treatment by the British press and the lack of support from the entire Royal Family. CBS News refused to delay the couple’s two-hour interview (as it was urged by Royal commentators due to Prince Philip's health) with celebrity interviewer Oprah Winfrey when she asked Prince Harry about his and Meghan’s relationship with Prince Charles after moving to America. 

In an emotional reply, Harry said, "There's a lot to work through there, you know? I feel really let down because he's been through something similar. He knows what pain feels like." Prince Charles and Diana’s second son further added that his father who is also the heir to the throne, and elder brother, Prince William were “trapped” by the conventions of the British monarchy. However, Harry pledged that he would “always love” his father. 

Harry said, “My father and my brother, they are trapped. They don't get to leave. And I have huge compassion for that."
