If you thought Prince Harry was done giving tell-all interviews, think again! The prince sat down with BBC News shortly after a judge dismissed his appeal of a previous court ruling that let the British government scale back his taxpayer-funded security detail. Harry said he would “love reconciliation” with his family, but King Charles “won’t speak to me because of this security stuff.”
The prince stepped down as a working royal in 2020 and now lives in California with his wife, Meghan Markle, and their two young children. Harry said he was “devastated” by the U.K. High Court ruling, as it makes it “impossible” for him to bring his family back to his home country.
“I can’t see a world in which I would bring my wife and children back to the U.K. at this point,” Harry said. “I miss parts of the U.K., of course I do. And I think that it’s really quite sad that I won’t be able to show, you know, my children.”
In 2023, Harry published a tell-all memoir, Spare, in which he claimed his brother Prince William physically attacked him and accused his father, King Charles, and stepmother, Queen Camilla, of being jealous of his press coverage, among more silly and salacious revelations.
Harry told the BBC that while “there have been so many disagreements between myself and some of my family,” he has now “forgiven” them. He said he would love to repair their relationship and alluded to his father’s cancer diagnosis.
“I would love reconciliation with my family. There’s no point in continuing to fight anymore. Life is precious. I don’t know how much longer my father has. He won’t speak to me because of this security stuff. But it would be nice to reconcile,” Harry said.
This doesn’t seem like the kind of overture King Charles would appreciate, but who knows. Maybe the king really liked that jam Meghan (allegedly) sent him and is also ready to forgive.
