While Prince Harry's relationships with his family members may be fractured, he is making sure that of his children's with the royals remains in tact.

"I've said before that I've wanted a family, not an institution — so of course, I would love nothing more than for our children to have relationships with members of my family, and they do with some, which brings me great joy," Harry said in a new cover story, despite the current dynamic of his and Meghan Markle's relationships with the Duke of Sussex's relatives.

As for what he wants the royal family's takeaway to be from his jaw-dropping tell-all, the author explained in his new interview, "I want people to read my memoir and come to their own conclusions."

"I don't want to tell anyone what to think of it and that includes my family. This book and its truths are in many ways a continuation of my own mental health journey," the father-of-two continued. "It's a raw account of my life — the good, the bad and everything in between."
