Prince Harry said in a bombshell interview with the BBC after losing his legal battle on higher security protections on Friday that his father, King Charles III, “will not talk to him.” However, he "hopes to reconcile with the royal family."

Speaking at the BBC in California, where he now lives, the prince said he felt "destroyed" about his appeal to demote the UK security arrangement after he stepped down from his official royal duties with his wife Meghan Markle in 2020. Earlier Friday, the court ruled a ruling in a security case that had been in progress for more than four years. Due to losses, Harry told the BBC that he is unlikely to return to the UK permanently

"I can't see my wife and children bringing my children back to the world of England," he said. "And, the things they'll miss are everything. I love my country, I've always done it, even though some people in that country did it... I don't think I can show my homeland to my children, which is sad."

Harry first started legal action against the Home Office in 2021, as he lowered his taxpayer-funded police protections case by case, saying "the father has a lot of control and ability in his hands."

"Ultimately, it all can be solved through him," Harry said. "It's not necessarily through intervention, but by putting aside, allowing experts to do the necessary things ... I described me once people know the facts, and it's a good old-fashioned institution sewn, and that's how it feels."

Buckingham Palace made a rare statement in an interview with Harry, telling the BBC: "All of these issues have been repeatedly and carefully examined by the court, and each time the same conclusions have been drawn."

Harry continued that his legal battle on security has been a "striking" between him and several members of the royal family. "It's the only thing left," he said. "Of course some members of my family will never forgive me for writing books. Of course, they will never forgive me for a lot of things. But I'd love to reconcile with my family."

The prince said, "life is precious" and "continuing to fight doesn't make sense", which may have happened recently by his father and sister son Kate Middleton.

Harry said: "I don't know how long my father has been? He won't talk to me because of safety. But reconciliation is good," Harry said, adding: "If they don't want that, it's all up to them."
