Prince Harry’s ‘60 Minutes’ interview airs January 8 on CBS
Harry will talk Spare with CNN’s Anderson Cooper in an episode of 60 Minutes set to air Sunday, Jan. 8, on CBS. Per the network’s TV schedule, 60 Minutes is slated to begin at 7:30 p.m. EST after NFL coverage. However, 60 Minutes typically airs at 7 p.m. EST so the schedule may change as Jan. 8 gets closer.

The 38-year-old originally announced he’d be releasing a book about his life in July 2021. “I’m writing this not as the prince I was born but as the man I have become,” Harry said in a statement at the time.
“I’ve worn many hats over the years, both literally and figuratively, and my hope is that in telling my story—the highs and lows, the mistakes, the lessons learned—I can help show that no matter where we come from, we have more in common than we think,” he added, later noting he’s “excited for people to read a firsthand account of my life that’s accurate and wholly truthful.”

CBS dropped a teaser trailer for the ’60 Minutes’ interview with Prince Harry
Harry’s 60 Minutes interview hasn’t aired yet, but CBS has already offered a glimpse of what viewers can expect when the episode drops. On Jan. 1, the network revealed a teaser trailer from the wide-ranging interview.
In it, Harry echoes statements he and Meghan Markle made in their Netflix docuseries.
Cooper says to Harry: “One of the criticisms that you’ve received is that well, OK fine, you want to move to California, you want to step back from the institutional role, why be so public? You say you tried to do this privately.”
“Every single time I’ve tried to do it privately there have been briefings and leakings and planting of stories against me and my wife,” Harry replied. “You know, the family motto is never complain, never explain. But it’s just a motto. And it doesn’t really hold.”
In the trailer, Harry also described “endless” complaining and explaining happening via leaks.
“They will feed or have a conversation with the correspondent and that correspondent will literally be spoon-fed information and write the story,” he told Cooper.
“And then [at] the bottom of it, they say that they’ve reached out to Buckingham Palace for comment,” he continued. “But the whole story is Buckingham Palace commenting.”
“So when we’re being told for the past six years, we can’t put a statement out to protect you, but you do it for other members of the family, there becomes a point where silence is betrayal,” Harry concluded.
