Prince Harry reveals one thing he wants from the Royal Family in heartbreaking admission

Prince Harry gave a bombshell interview after losing his legal challenge over security entitlement in the UK

Prince Harry gave us all something to talk about last Friday when a bombshell interview with the BBC dropped ahead of the weekend.

The Duke of Sussex spoke candidly about his long-rumoured rift with the Royal Family, claiming his own father no longer speaks to him because of disagreements over his security entitlement in the UK - the subject of his highly publicised legal challenge.

Harry told the outlet that he ‘misses’ the UK, and feels ‘really quite sad’ that he won’t be able to show his kids - Archie, five, and Lilibet, three - his home.

“I can't see a world in which I would bring my wife and children back to the UK at this point,” he said.

When Harry and wife Meghan decided to step down as working royals back in 2020, they saw their taxpayer-funded protection downgraded - a move he feels compromises his family’s safety.

After he lost his appeal last Friday (2 May), he told the BBC that he didn’t want to fight with his family anymore, and now has just one request for them.

“I would love reconciliation with my family,” Harry said, saying the dispute over security had ‘always been the sticking point’, but that there had been ‘so many disagreements’ over the years.

“There's no point continuing to fight any more, 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 - it would be nice to reconcile.”

Harry continued: “But reconciliation can’t come without truth. Well, I’ve now found out the truth. I’ve shared some of it with you today. A lot of it exists out there, whether people choose to ignore it or not.

“So it would be nice to have that reconciliation part now. If they don’t want that, that’s entirely up to them.”

Elsewhere in the interview, he described his court defeat as a 'good old fashioned establishment stitch up', while blaming the Royal Household for influencing the decision to reduce his security.

When asked whether he had asked his father the King to intervene in the dispute over security, Harry responded: “I never asked him to intervene - I asked him to step out of the way and let the experts do their jobs.”
