Prince Harry has said he wants “reconciliation” with the rest of the royal family after a legal challenge over his security that has left him “devastated”.
The Duke of Sussex told the BBC his father, King Charles, “won’t speak to me because of this security stuff”. He said he did not know how long his father had left to live.
Speaking from California, he said “there have been so many disagreements” between him and his family, but he had “forgiven” them.
The prince said it was “impossible” for him to take his family back to the UK safely after losing his court of appeal challenge over his security arrangements while in the country.
“For the time being, it’s impossible for me to take my family back to the UK safely. I will continue on with a life of public service. So I will always support the charities and the people that mean so much to me.
“I can’t see a world in which I would be bringing my wife and children back to the UK at this point, and the things that they’re going to miss is, well, everything, you know.
“I love my country, I always have done, despite what some people in that country have done. I miss the UK, I miss parts of the UK. Of course I do. And I think that’s it’s really quite sad that I won’t be able to show my children my homeland.”
He said he did not ask his father to become involved in his battle over his security arrangements in the UK. “I’ve never asked him to intervene. I’ve asked him to step out,” he said. “I step out of the way and let the experts do their job.
