Prince Harry's recent interview with the BBC has attracted widespread attention. During the interview, Harry mentioned he is uncertain about how much longer his father, King Charles, who has cancer, might live. He also expressed a desire to reconcile with his family. The comment about King Charles' health led to intense coverage by British media outlets, with tabloid headlines suggesting Harry is concerned about not having much time left with his father. 

The interview also highlighted tensions within the royal family concerning communication and security matters. Harry expressed frustration that his father has stopped speaking to him over these security issues, a sentiment that resonates with some Britons while leaving others indifferent. The ongoing legal battle Harry is involved in has seen the courts consistently ruling that he was treated fairly, despite Harry's view of the situation as an "establishment stitch-up."

The royal household has issued a statement noting that these matters have been repeatedly examined by the courts. Amid this familial tension, Buckingham Palace is focusing on preparations for the 80th anniversary of the end of World War II, seeking to redirect public attention towards this significant commemoration.



Prince Harry fuels speculation over King Charles' health

Well, there's a new reaction tonight following the latest revelations by Britain's Prince Harry. In a BBC interview, Harry said he didn't know how long King Charles had to live. He also expressed a desire to make peace with his family. CBS's Rameon Ascensio reports from outside Buckingham Palace. And Britain's Papers and People sees on Prince Harry's frank interview, Jerrica, zeroing in on his apparent worry he doesn't have much time with his father, King Charles. Tabloid after tabloid repeated, my father won't speak to me, my dad won't speak to me. I don't know how much longer my father has, you know. He won't speak to me because of this security stuff. Some Brits appeared to be empathetic about Harry's family and security situation, but more seem to be indifferent. Take a listen. It's sad when families break down and I think him and his brother were very close growing up. They went through a really tragic time when his mother died. I really don't care what Harry does. He's like a person I've never met. Not interested in him or the king. I feel literally nothing about that. It's so unimportant to me. With Harry's legal battle at the Court of Appeals in the past month, it's understood it would have been constitutionally improper for the king to intervene, but this latest royal drama did trigger what feels to be a weary response from Buckingham Palace, which in a statement briefly said, all of these issues have been examined repeatedly and meticulously by the courts, with the same conclusion reached on each occasion, that being that Harry was treated fairly. He called the court's verdict an establishment stitch-up, that's a setup or a betrayal, and this comes on the eve of major preparations for the 80th anniversary of the end of World War II, victory in Europe Day, Eureka, and the royal palace definitely wants to focus more on those celebrations rather than on what many might feel is airing more dirty family laundry. Raymond Asensio, thank you.
