Of his return to the U.K. for the funeral aftertheir royal exit the previous year, Harry said in the docuseries, “It was hard — especially spending time having chats with my brother and my father, who just were very much focused on the same misinterpretation of the whole situation.”
“So none of us really wanted to have to talk about it at my grandfather’s funeral, but we did,” he added of himself,Prince Williamand then-Prince Charles.
“I’ve had to make peace with the fact that we’re probably never going to get genuine accountability or a genuine apology [from my family],” Harry added. “My wife and I, we’re moving on. We’re focused on what’s coming next.”

The procession order was"a practical change rather than sending a signal,“a Buckingham Palace spokesman previously said. “This is a funeral and we are not going to be drawn into perceptions of drama. The arrangements have been agreed and represent Her Majesty’s wishes,” they added.
“Ironically, it isprobably how he would have liked,” former palace spokeswoman Ailsa Anderson previously told PEOPLE. “No fuss, no bother. Right through his life, he never knew what all the fuss was about.”
