In an interview with the BBC, Prince Harry said he wants to reconcile with members of the royal family, including his father King Charles, who was diagnosed with cancer last year. The Duke of Sussex also spoke about a decision by the U.K. Court of Appeals to deny blanket security coverage.

Prince Harry has shared his desire to reconcile with the royal family, including his father, King Charles. During an interview with the BBC, the Duke of Sussex spoke about his father's health, revealing that King Charles was diagnosed with cancer last year. According to Harry, communication with his father has been strained, with King Charles reportedly not speaking to him due in part to security concerns.

In a recent legal development, the UK Court of Appeals denied Prince Harry blanket security coverage – a privilege he had enjoyed for most of his life as a working royal. This privilege was downgraded to a case-by-case basis after the Duke stepped down from royal duties in 2020. Harry expressed his disappointment, stating that the decision makes it difficult for him to bring his wife and children to the UK, citing safety concerns.

Despite these concerns and ongoing disagreements, Prince Harry expressed hope for reconciliation with his family, emphasizing the value of life and the importance of family unity. Buckingham Palace has remained largely silent on his remarks, indicating that the courts found Harry was treated fairly regarding his security arrangements.



Prince Harry says King Charles doesn't speak to him

Take a look at these pictures out of London, where people are celebrating the 80th anniversary of the end of World War II in Europe. On this day of national unity, though, a new BBC interview by Prince Harry is dividing the royal family. He had a whole heck of a lot to say about his recent court case, returning to the UK, and the health of his father, that of course would be King Charles. Raimi Innocencio is in London for us, following all this. Raimi, good morning. Tony, good morning there. Yeah, the parade has just started, and you can see the start of that just right behind me with people on horseback. People here tell me that they're thankful for the sacrifices of a past generation of World War II veterans, whose numbers we know are dwindling fast. But as you said, pulling focus from these historic commemorations is Prince Harry in California. I can't see a world in which I would be bringing my wife and children back to the UK at this point. From Santa Barbara, where he lives, the Duke of Sussex responded to a UK Court of Appeals judgment denying him blanket security coverage. From birth through most of his life, the Duke of Sussex, as a working royal, automatically received that. In 2020, that was downgraded to a case-by-case basis after he stepped down, away from royal duties. Harry cited privacy, then safety concerns for him and his family. It's really quite sad that I won't be able to show my children my homeland. His wife, Meghan, on Sunday posted this photo on social media with no captions of Harry holding the hand of his son, Prince Archie, five, and carrying his daughter, Princess Lilibet, three. This is an old-fashioned, good old-fashioned establishment stitch-up. In other words, a betrayal by the British courts. But he still holds out hope for some family peace. Life is precious. I don't know how much longer my father has. You know, he won't speak to me because of this security stuff. But it would be nice to reconcile. King Charles was diagnosed with cancer in February of last year. It would have been an unprecedented break with established norms for the king to intervene in Harry's appeal. And the only official response to that interview has come from Buckingham Palace, which said that all the courts examining Harry's case concluded that he was treated fairly. The royal family likely wants to keep focus on this week's VE Day commemorations, and a military flypast right here over Buckingham Palace happens in the next hour. Tony. I'll take it from here. From royal rift to royal reconciliation. We shall see. Rami Al-Sisi on London.
