Prince Harry, the son of King Charles III, said Friday he is devastated” over the loss of a yearslong court battle for security protection in the United Kingdom, and still hopes for “reconciliation” with his family.
“There have been so many disagreements, differences, between me and some of my family,” Harry said in an interview with the BBC, adding of his legal fight for security, “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.”
Harry added that he would “love reconciliation” with his family, but said the ongoing security issue is “100%” the last step in repairing his relations with his family.
“I thought with all the disagreements and all of the chaos that’s happening, the one thing that I could rely on is my family keeping me safe,” he said. “And not only did they decide to remove my security in the U.K., but they also signaled to every single government around the world not to protect us.”
In response to Harry’s interview with the BBC, a Buckingham Palace spokesperson told ABC News, “All of these issues have been examined repeatedly and meticulously by the courts, with the same conclusion reached on each occasion.”
