In a stunning emotional outpouring following a legal defeat in the UK, Prince Harry has broken his silence on the royal rift, expressing his heartbreak over King Charles' silence and revealing fears about his father's mortality.
“I don’t know how much longer my father has,” Harry told BBC News in a bombshell interview from California, alluding to King Charles’ recent battle with cancer. “He won’t speak to me because of this security stuff.”
The remarks come just days after Harry lost his high-profile legal battle against the UK government over the stripping of his state-funded security detail, a move he claims puts his family directly in harm’s way.
“I’ve forgiven them,” Harry declared, referring to his estranged royal relatives. “But I can’t see a world where I’d bring my wife and children back to the UK at this point.”
‘History repeating itself’: Diana’s shadow looms
Evoking haunting memories of Princess Diana’s tragic death, Harry said, “I don’t want history to repeat itself,” referencing his fears over inadequate security. The Duke of Sussex accused RAVEC—the government body behind the 2020 decision—of failing to follow its own protocols.
In a fiery statement released after the Court of Appeal ruling on May 2, Harry blasted Buckingham Palace for not stepping in. “They chose not to act because they knew the outcome would prove I should never have been stripped of protection,” he wrote. “This reckless action knowingly put me and my family in harm’s way.”
The palace responds: Cold silence from the crown
While the Home Office welcomed the court’s decision, Buckingham Palace’s icy response only added to the tension. “These issues have been examined repeatedly,” a palace spokesperson said. In court, the judge acknowledged Harry’s heartfelt arguments but concluded they didn’t meet legal standards.
Hollywood lives, royal wounds
The dramatic court loss comes as Meghan and Harry reenter the spotlight, no longer as royals, but as celebrities. Meghan is launching a new Netflix series and lifestyle brand, while Harry will appear in a polo-themed documentary. Yet beneath the glitz, wounds fester.
“This has never been about headlines,” Harry insists. “It’s about the safety of my family. About being able to visit my country, our country, without fearing for our lives.”
