Britain’s Prince Harry has given a series of television interviews ahead of the official release of his memoir “Spare” in which he gives intimate personal details and reveals discord and conflict within the British royal family.

Here are some of the quotes from an interview with Tom Bradby of Britain’s ITV aired on Sunday:

Why do the book?

“There was a motto, a family motto of ‘never complain, never explain’. And what people have realized now … is that was just a motto. There was a lot of complaining and there was a lot of explaining and it continues now.

“If it had stopped, by the point that I fled my home country with my wife and my son fearing for our lives, then maybe this would’ve turned out differently.”

On his mother’s death in Paris car crash:

“There’s a lot of things that are unexplained. But I’ve been asked before whether I want to open up another inquiry. I don’t really see the point at this stage.”

On his relationship with his family and the press:

“Certain members have decided to get in the bed with the devil (tabloid press) … to rehabilitate their image.

“But the moment that that rehabilitation comes at the detriment of others, me, other members of my family, then that’s where I draw the line.”

On Charles’s second wife Camilla, the Queen Consort:

“William and I wanted our father to be happy and he seemed to be very, very happy with her. We asked him not to get married. He chose to. That’s his decision. But the two of them were and remain very happy together.”

With global attention fixed on the outcome, the meeting could shape the next chapter of the conflict — and determine whether diplomacy can finally overtake military escalation.

Trump announces Greenland deal, easing tariff threats amid trade tensions, boosting US markets and sparking Arctic diplomacy debate.

U.S. President Donald Trump has announced a framework deal involving Greenland, stepping back from earlier threats to impose tariffs on Europe. The shift comes after heightened global concern over trade tensions and geopolitical stability.

The announcement followed Trump’s appearance at the World Economic Forum in Davos and discussions with NATO’s Secretary General.

Denmark’s Foreign Minister has since weighed in, responding to speculation surrounding Greenland’s future and the implications of US involvement.

Markets reacted positively, with US stocks rallying after Trump signalled he would abandon the tariff threats.

While Trump reiterated he would not use force to acquire Greenland, the move has sparked renewed debate about diplomacy, trade, and influence in the Arctic region.

Nationals senators defy party lines, voting against Labor’s reforms as Coalition faces internal rifts and leadership concerns.

A rift has emerged in the Coalition after three Nationals senators crossed the floor to vote against Labor’s post-Bondi hate group reforms, defying party lines and raising questions about their future in the shadow cabinet.

Their proposed amendment calling for greater scrutiny was rejected, and Labor’s legislation passed the Senate 38 votes to 22, cementing the reforms into law despite opposition pushback.

Coalition leadership will meet Wednesday to assess the political fallout, though some MPs consider the issue minor in terms of potential resignations. The incident highlights growing tensions within the party as internal discipline comes under pressure.
