I think most of us would now opt for "upset, angry, or distracted"
(Collins).

I did start watching the interview (don't ask; it's a short story), in
which he appeared to be talking to a friend of his (no bias there, then)
and trying to establish that he came from a broken home, I suppose as an
excuse. After a few minutes I gave up on it.

I did not get that impression ('broken home'). He did accuse the 'firm'
(royal household and acolytes) however of siding with the press against
him and his wife - by deliberately leaking stories about Markle. He may
not be the brightest member of the family, but he came across as more
genuine than most of the others of his family (the Queen (RIP), Charles,
Camilla (the horse's ass), and even his older brother).

Given what happened to his mother, you may cut the man some slack.

Some, yes of course, but not as much as he's taking.

We had three lengthy book interviews in a week: Anderson Cooper, Sunday,
on *60 Minutes*; Stephen Colbert two nights later (that's where the "todger"
came up); and the one you seem to be referring to, on Saturday, which was
the most revealing. The interviewer was identified as "Tom" and has apparently
been covering him for 20 years, and he affected a familiarity/friendship that
royal-watchers seem to think they are entitled to. Harry did not accede to any
of those protestations.
