Prince Harry has shared that his father “won’t speak to me” as he made an emotional appeal for “reconciliation” with his family.

After “so many disagreements,” the Duke of Sussex mentioned that he has now “forgiven” his family and expressed concerns about how much time his father, the King, has left to live.

However, Harry admitted that Charles no longer communicates with him due to the duke’s legal fight over changes to his security after stepping down from royal duties.

The prince’s candid interview on Friday also included a call for Prime Minister Keir Starmer to intervene and review a Court of Appeal decision that went against him regarding the level of security he should have in the UK.

Harry described the ruling as “a good old-fashioned stitch-up” and emphasized that improved security was essential for mending his relationship with his family.

Talking about his strained relationship with the 76-year-old monarch, the duke told the BBC:
“He won’t speak to me because of this security stuff.

“There have been so many disagreements between myself and some of my family.”

He mentioned that some family members would never forgive him for the book he wrote, Spare, where he revealed many royal secrets.

However, Harry added that he had now “forgiven” them.

“I would love a reconciliation with my family. There’s no point in continuing to fight any more,” he said. “I don’t know how much longer my father has.”

The duke has only seen his father, who is undergoing cancer treatment, once and briefly since his diagnosis early last year.

However, Harry stated that “for the time being,” it was impossible for him to bring his family to the UK safely, expressing his frustration over losing his legal challenge against the Home Office.

“I would ask the prime minister to step in. I would ask Yvette Cooper, the home secretary, to look at this very, very carefully,” Harry said, also suggesting that the specialist body responsible for reviewing security arrangements should be re-evaluated.

The 40-year-old had appealed against the dismissal of his High Court claim against the Home Office regarding the 2020 decision by the Executive Committee for the Protection of Royalty and Public Figures (Ravec), which determined he should receive a different level of protection when in the UK.
