Uproar as Prince Harry makes bizarre statement about King Charles' life, declares he's ‘forgiven’ Royal family
Prince Harry expressed a desire for reconciliation with his family after a legal defeat over security issues.
Prince Harry made an emotional TV appearance after a “devastating” defeat in a UK security legal battle. He drew sharp criticism for saying that “I don't know how much longer my father has.”
The Duke of Sussex asserted that the King “won't speak to him” due to the Prince's legal dispute over modifications to his security plans following his resignation from the throne.
Harry, however, claimed to have “forgiven” his family despite having several “disagreements”.
After failing in his legal appeal on Friday, Harry told BBC: “I would love a reconciliation with my family. There's no point in continuing to fight anymore. I don't know how much longer my father has.”
He went on to mention that King Charles “won't speak to me because of this security stuff,” but added that “It would be nice to reconcile.”
Prince Harry faces backlash over latest interview
Meanwhile, Ailsa Anderson, the late Queen's former press secretary, told Sky News: “That's going to cause real concern and more speculation in the media and wider public about what his diagnosis is, which is incredibly unhelpful going forward.”
Blasting Harry over his latest interview, Anderson predicted that Buckingham Palace would be “raising their eyes heavenwards.” She also said, “What you don't want to do is have your private life played out in the media. So if you truly want reconciliation, you'll do it in private, not in a BBC News interview.”

‘Some people want history to….’; Prince Harry makes bombshell claim
In addition, he claimed that knowledge he gained from the court proceedings made him realize that “some people want history to repeat itself,” seemingly alluding to the passing of his mother, Diana, Princess of Wales.
The Sussexes' appearance with Oprah Winfrey, in which they claimed a family member was worried about their baby Archie's complexion before he was born, marked a huge rupture with the royal family.
Following his and Meghan's 2020 decision to leave their position as working royals and relocate to California in search of financial and personal freedom, Harry expressed that the royal family and officials hoped his recognition of the elevated safety risk “would force us to come back.”
