Hoda Kotb didn’t let Prince Harry off the hook when she interviewed him for NBC this week in The Hague, where he was overseeing the Invictus Games. She asked him a slew of questions.
The journalist questioned the Prince about his family, including his relationship with his grandmother, the Queen, as well as William and their father, Prince Charles.
“Do you miss your brother and your father?” Hoda asked about Harry and Meghan’s move to California. Harry deftly avoided the question by returning the focus to the Olympics and mentioning his wife and children.
“Look, right now, I’m here focused on these guys and their families,” he explained.
“I’m here and giving everything that I can 120 percent to them to make sure that they have the experience of a lifetime, that’s my focus here,” the father of two continued.
“When I leave here, I return home and my entire focus is on my family, whom I adore.”
When he and Meghan appeared in the ITV documentary Harry and Meghan: An African Journey in 2019, the Prince addressed rumors of a rift with his brother for the first time.
Given the pressures of the roles he and William were born into, Harry said that “inevitably stuff happens.” “The majority of the stuff is made out of nothing,” he continued, “but as brothers, you know, you have good days and bad days.”
Harry was more forthright about the division between himself and William after he and Meghan stepped down from their roles as senior working royals, including in a much-discussed interview with Oprah Winfrey last year.
The pair appeared to be on good terms at Prince Philip’s funeral the following month, and they reunited again with the Spencer family to unveil a memorial statue to Diana, Princess of Wales.
