Prince Harry said tonight he was cut off from King Charles who ‘won’t speak to me’ – after losing his appeal in court over his security.
The Duke of Sussex said he did not know how long his father had left to live, adding: ‘I can’t see a world in which I would bring my wife and children back to the UK.’
In an emotional interview with the BBC, Harry said he was ‘devastated’ after sensationally losing his battle over taxpayer-funded police bodyguards – putting him on the hook for £1.5million in legal costs.
England’s second most senior judge, Sir Geoffrey Vos, told the duke his ‘grievance’ over downgraded security had not ‘translated into a legal argument’.
And he ruled the security decision had been a ‘predictable’ and even ‘sensible’ reaction to Megxit when Harry stepped back from being a senior royal and quit Britain.
Last night in a devastating broadside reopening wounds with the Royal Family, Harry told the BBC in California that he wants ‘reconciliation’ with the royal family but was at present cut off from his father.
‘He won’t speak to me because of this security stuff,’ the prince said, adding he didn’t know how long the King had left to live.
‘There have been so many disagreements between myself and some of my family,’ he said, but he had now ‘forgiven’ them.

Saying that he felt ‘let down’ and looking upset, he described his court defeat as a ‘good old-fashioned establishment stitch up’ and blamed the Royal Household for influencing the decision to reduce his security.
Asked whether he had asked his father the King to intervene in the dispute over security, Prince Harry said: ‘I never asked him to intervene – I asked him to step out of the way and let the experts do their jobs.’
