Prince Harry unleashes on the Royal Family again in 90-minute ITV interview trends now
Prince Harry has begun to unleash another salvo of attacks on the Royal Family as he sits down with his friend Tom Bradby for his first primetime interview to promote his explosive memoir.
The 90-minute broadcast focuses on Harry's tumultuous relationship with his family who - in Bradby's words - the prince took 'a flame thrower to' in the writing of his memoirs.
Clips previously released by ITV of Harry: The Interview, show him describing feelings of guilt and revealing he had cried only once after the death of his mother Diana, Princess of Wales.
In another clip, he says he wants to reconcile with his family - but that it cannot happen without 'some accountability'.

Harry was not paid for tonight's interview, which saw him alternate between answering questions from Bradby and reading sections from his memoir.
As he once again twisted the knife on his closest family members, the Duke -
Says he's 'written emails and letters' to his family about his concerns but was told 'you are imagining it'; Recalls the moment Prince Charles sat down on the side of his bed to tell him, 'Darling boy, mummy's been in a car crash';The interview is the first of four broadcast appearances over the coming days, with the duke also speaking to Anderson Cooper for 60 Minutes on CBS News on Sunday night, Michael Strahan of Good Morning America tomorrow and Stephen Colbert on the Late Show on CBS on Wednesday morning UK time.
In the interview with Bradby, which began to air at 9pm, Harry speaks about being unable to show any emotion when meeting mourners following the death of his mother in 1997.
He also admits to feeling 'some guilt' when walking among the crowds gathered outside Kensington Palace, saying the only time he cried was at his mother's burial.
Harry also reveals how his father sat him down on a bed before breaking the news.
He says Prince Charles called him 'my dear son' before telling him his mother was unlikely to survive head injuries sustained in the crash in Paris in the early hours of August 31, 1997.
The prince paints the picture of an emotionally distant father, saying that Charles was 'not good at expressing his emotions'.
In a passage read out on ITV, Harry says: 'What I do remember with stunning clarity is that I did not cry. Not a tear. My father did not hug me.'
In the book, the Duke recalls asking to go and visit his mother while she was in the hospital.
However, he says his father explained she 'hasn't recovered any more', before saying he stayed in his room on his own until the following morning.
He recalled that he and his brother William were forbidden from watching the TV so they didn't see news of the car crash.
In the memoir he said for a time he believed Diana had faked her own death and she was 'running away' to escape her 'miserable' life.
The Duke said his 13-year-old self had wondered if it was a 'trick', writing in the book: 'Her life's been miserable, she's been hounded, harassed, lied about, lied to. So she's staged an accident as a diversion and run away.'
He later admitted this was not the case, but said he returned to the theory as a source of comfort.
In the memoir, which was ghostwritten by Pulitzer-winning author JR Moehringer, Harry admitted to trying to get closure by returning to the scene of his mother's death.

The Princess of Wales had been killed along with her partner Dodi Fayed when their driver Henri Paul crashed their car in the Pont de l'Alma tunnel in Paris.
An inquest would later return a verdict of unlawful killing, blaming Paul, who was drunk at the time and also died in the crash, as well as the paparazzi following the vehicle.

Harry says he got his chauffeur to drive him at 65mph - the speed at which the crash happened - through the tunnel repeatedly to experience how her final journey would have felt.
Harry recounted the driver was shocked when he asked him if he knew the tunnel were his mother had died, and asked him to drive him through it.
The royal revealed he barely felt anything when he entered the tunnel, writing it was: 'The bump that supposedly sent Mummy's Mercedes veering off course.'
He recounted how he counted the lights and the pillar inside the tunnel as his car whizzed through, but was shocked at how short the tunnel actually was when he emerged.
Harry recalled imagining the tunnel was a dangerous route, but was surprised to learn it was a 'no-frills tunnel'.
He recounted speaking to William about the tunnel where their mother had died after he had made the journey through it himself.
The pair then agreed to travel through it once more, together, after which Harry says they talked about their mother's accident for the first time.
Following an investigation into Diana's death, Harry described the final report as 'an insult' and 'a shambles' which he believed was inaccurate.
