Prince Harry says King Charles III ‘won’t speak’ to him, but he’d ‘love reconciliation’ with royal family

Prince Harry would “love reconciliation” with his royal family, but he claims his father, King Charles III, “won’t speak” to him.

“There have been so many disagreements, differences, between me and some of my family,” Harry, 40, shared in a BBC News interview Friday.

“This current situation that has been ongoing for five years with regard to human life and safety is the sticking point. It is the only thing that’s left,” he said in reference to losing his appeal challenging the UK government’s decision to strip him of his publicly funded security after he stepped down from his royal duties and moved to the US in 2020.

The Duke of Sussex acknowledged that “some members” of his family will “never forgive” him for “lots of things,” including “writing a book.”

He released his bombshell memoir, “Spare,” in 2023.

In it, he discussed everything from an alleged brawl with his brother, Prince William, over his relationship with his wife, Meghan Markle, to his infamous Nazi costume scandal, which he blamed the Prince of Wales and his wife, Kate Middleton, for allegedly encouraging.

He also claimed Charles would often joke that Harry’s “actual father was one of [Princess Diana’s] former lovers.”

Despite their “disagreements” and “differences,” Harry would “love reconciliation with [his] family” because “there’s no point in continuing to fight.”

Pointing out that “life is precious,” he admitted he doesn’t “know how much longer” Charles has left following his February 2024 cancer diagnosis.

“He won’t speak to me,” the prince claimed, “because of this security stuff. But it would be nice to reconcile.”

Harry explained that he “learned” from the First Nations throughout Canada via his Invictus Games that “their goal in life was always truth and reconciliation.”

“I turned around to them in many conversations, and I said, ‘Right, but reconciliation can’t come without truth,’” he said.

“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.”

The father of two made sure to note that if his relatives “don’t want that,” that’s “entirely up to them.”

Harry — who shares Prince Archie, 6, and Princes Lilibet, 3, with Markle — lamented, “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 gonna miss is, well, everything.”

He insisted that he loves his country and “always” has, “despite what some people in that country have done.”

He “of course” also misses “parts of the UK,” calling it “really quite sad” that he “won’t be able to show” his kids his homeland.

“There is a lot of control and ability in my father’s hands. Ultimately, this whole thing could be resolved through him,” Harry argued.

“Not necessary by intervening, but by stepping aside, allowing the experts to do what is necessary.”
