“I don’t think that we can ever have peace with my family unless the truth is out there,” he said in an interview that aired Monday on “GMA.” “There’s a lot that I can forgive, but there needs to be conversations in order for reconciliation, and part of that has to be accountability.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Harry also told Strahan he does not believe the details he shares in “Spare” can make things any worse with his family.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

“I have thought about it long and hard,” said Harry. “And as far as I see it, the divide couldn’t be greater before this book.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

ABC News received a response from the law firm representing Buckingham Palace Monday saying that the palace needed to “consider exactly what is said in the interview and the context in which it appears,” and asked that we supply them immediately with a copy of the entire interview.
