What is Prince Harry’s latest sulk trying to achieve?

A new year, a new grudge. Or, at least, a new expression of an old one, which is pretty much all that we’ve heard from the Duke and Duchess of Sussex over the past few years.

Yet after the interminable six hours of score-settling that Netflix punished us with last month in the form of Harry and Meghan, the forthcoming publication of Prince Harry’s hugely anticipated (in some circles, anyway) memoir Spare is being promoted with two major interviews, one in Britain and one in the United States. Based on the previews that have been released, they promise to be every bit as attention-grabbing – or attention-seeking – as everything else that Harry has been involved with recently.

The British interview is being conducted with ITV’s Tom Bradby; the only broadcast journalist in this country, it would appear, who Harry trusts, because he and his brother developed a friendship with him in the nineties.
