Prince Harry has not only been an unpopular royal in the eyes of the media since the start of the new year (see video), but the prince also seems to be unpopular within his own royal family. In an interview with the BBC, the British prince said on Friday that he has no contact at all with his father, King Charles, but despite everything he still “hopes for reconciliation”.
Prince Harry and his father King Charles are currently not in contact. The British prince would like to make up with his family and hopes for “reconciliation”. “He doesn’t want to talk to me because of all the security issues”, says Harry, referring to the trial that was concluded on Friday.
Harry does not know how long his 76-year-old father has left to live, he continues. “There have been so many differences of opinion between me and a few family members.” He has now forgiven his family. The forty-year-old Harry can imagine that his family may not want to forgive him for some things, such as the book he wrote. In Spare, or Reserve in the Netherlands (see video below), he talks in detail about his life in the British royal family.
Prince Harry is “devastated” that he has lost the lawsuit about his security. The prince feels “abandoned”, he says in the BBC interview. The Duke of Sussex sued the British Home Office because his police protection in the United Kingdom was stopped in 2020 after he stopped working as a member of the royal family (see video below). He lost the case on appeal.
King Charles’ son thinks the judge’s decision is “old-fashioned” and claims that the British royal family had too much influence on the scaling back of security. Harry never asked the king to get involved in the case, he says. “I never asked him to intervene – I asked him to step aside and let the experts do their job.” Harry “is sure” that some people will see Friday’s ruling as a “great victory.” For him, it is a reason to only come to England at the invitation of his family. “I can’t see myself taking my wife and children back to the UK now,” he says. “I find it very sad that I can’t show my children my home country.”
