Prince Harry’s bombshell BBC interview latest updates: Duke reveals why he doesn’t speak to his father anymore as he opens up about ‘forgiveness’

Royal experts have dubbed Prince Harry’s interview where he dished out the details of his strained relationship with King Charles, the royal family and his downgraded security status as a key moment in history.

Professor Kate Williams explained that the Duke of Sussex’s open demeanour means it will ‘go down in history as one of Prince Harry’s most signifigant interviews.’

Speaking to Sky News, Professor Williams said: ‘This is a very significant moment in what will be written about by the historians of the future about Harry.’

Jennie Bond, former royal editor at the BBC added that the interview is ‘another jaw-dropping moment in the royal saga.’

She told Sky: ‘He’s bristling, bristling with anger, isn’t he, Harry, and resentment. And mistrust of the royal household. And despair over his father’s attitude, I suppose. It’s just such a sad and sorry saga.

‘I had hoped eventually there might be some kind of reconciliation, but clearly, although Harry says he wants reconciliation, he doesn’t see he can do that now. He’s deeply, deeply angered. And I don’t know where he goes from here.

‘He feels at the moment there is some untruth going on at the moment. He feels that there is some kind of conspiracy that imprisoned him and imprisons others within the palace walls.

‘Because he has been so brazen as to escape, he is now being punished. That clearly is how he feels.

‘And he does not believe he can bring his children back to meet their grandfather even though, in his words, he doesn’t know how long his father has got to live.

‘I presume Harry knows a little bit more than the rest of us about the King’s health.

‘The family, they do not trust him to keep private conversations private. And now he’s gone so public with his raw emotions over this, I think that’s going to reinforce that.’

A Palace Spokesperson said: ‘All of these issues have been examined repeatedly and meticulously by the courts, with the same conclusion reached on each occasion.’

In the bombshell interview with the BBC, Prince Harry said: ‘You know there are very very real threats that are out there, some that are known about some that have been withheld and for people in power and responsibility of decisions to know that those threats and risks exist.

‘But to turn around and say because you don’t have an official role your life doesn’t actually matter any more, you can imagine how I feel about that, but you can also imagine, not even imagine, that is the most illogical argument in the history of arguments.’

Prince Harry says he does not know how long King Charles has left to live in an emotional interview after losing his appeal in court over his security.

The Duke of Sussex claimed his father is not speaking to him because of his battle over taxpayer-funded police bodyguards.

He said there had been ‘so many disagreements, differences between me and some of my family’, as he admitted he couldn’t see a world in which his family would return to the UK.

It comes just days after the King described the ‘daunting’ and ‘frightening’ experience of being told you have cancer, speaking in his most poignant update on his illness since being diagnosed 15 months ago.

The King, 76, is still undergoing regular treatments as someone ‘living with cancer’, although aides have previously said his recovery continues in a ‘very positive direction, as reflected with the very full national and international diary programme’ he is undertaking.

The most incendiary quotes from the interview were:

• ‘He [my father] won’t speak to me because of this security stuff’
• ‘Some members of my family may never forgive me for writing a book’
• ‘I don’t know how long he [my father] has left’
• ‘I can’t see a world in which I would bring my wife and children back to the UK at this point’
• ‘There have been so many disagreements between myself and some of my family’

Prince Harry said tonight he was cut off from his father King Charles who ‘won’t speak to me’ – after losing his appeal in court over his security.

The Duke of Sussex also launched a series of scathing attacks on his family in an astonishing interview with the BBC.

He revealed that he ‘doesn’t know how long his father has left’, will never bring his wife or children back to the UK – and said he had had ‘so many disagreements’ with his family, some of whom ‘may never forgive’ him for writing a book.

It comes after the Montecito-based royal 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.
