Prince Harry dished out the details of his strained relationship with King Charles, the royal family and his downgraded security status in a new emotional interview.
In the bombshell interview with the BBC, Harry said he did not know how long his father had left to live, adding: ‘Some members of my family will never forgive me’.
In an emotional interview with the BBC in California, Prince Harry said he has been cut off from his father and doesn’t know how long the King had left to live
He said: ‘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 going to miss is well, everything. You know I love my country I always have done despite what some people in that country have done. So, you know, I miss the UK I miss parts of the UK of course I do and I think that it’s really quite sad that I won’t be able to show my children my homeland.
‘There is a lot of control and ability in my father’s hand, ultimately this whole thing could be resolved through him not necessarily by intervening but by stepping aside allowing the experts to do what is necessary and to carry out an RMB (Risk Management Board).
‘That said there is, this all was initiated under a previous government and there is now a new government. I have had it described to me once people knew about the facts that this is a good old-fashioned establishment stitch-up and that’s what it feels like.
‘There have been so many disagreements, differences between me and some of my family this current situation that has been now ongoing for five years with regards to human life and safety is the sticking point it is the only thing that’s left.
‘Of course, some members of my family will never forgive me for writing a book, of course they will never forgive me for lots of things. But you know there is, I would love reconciliation with my family there’s no point in continuing to fight anymore, as I said life is precious. I don’t know how much longer my father has, he won’t speak to me because of this security stuff but it would be nice to reconcile.
‘As I learnt through the First Nations, throughout Canada because of the Invictus games their goal in life was always truth and reconciliation and I turned around to them in many conversations and I said reconciliation can’t come without truth. 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.’
Speaking on the recent change in his security status, Prince Harry added: ‘There’s a lot we agree on, there’s a lot we disagree on but that aside where is the duty of care?
‘Because as I said life is precious and it’s very clear that from 2020 because I was no longer allowed an official role and because I decided to remove myself eventually from the institution, that my life got devalued from the highest score to the lowest score overnight.
‘I don’t want history to repeat itself I think there’s a lot of other people out there, the majority that also don’t want history to repeat itself. From the disclosure process I’ve discovered that some people want history to repeat itself which is pretty dark.
‘I know all the names of the people that were involved in this process and again you have to question why wasn’t I put through the same risk management board that everybody else was put through including members of my family.
‘Whether I have an official role or not is irrelevant to the security needs that I would need. Let me rephrase that, whether I have an official role or not is irrelevant to the threats, risks, and impact on the reputation on the UK if that were to happen.
‘And again, that is proven by all of the examples that exist out there. So for me having an official role was conditional in keeping security but for everybody else, people who have chosen this life to enter into public office and then leave get it for life, regardless of whether they have risk or threat to their name.
‘And by the way, I agree with that, I think it is the right thing to do, that if you come in and you serve your country, even if it’s a minimum of four years, that you get the protection that you require because of your public service.’
