The Duke of Sussex told the BBC that he “would love reconciliation” with the royal family, in an emotional interview in which he said he was “devastated” to lose a legal challenge on his security in the United Kingdom.
Prince Harry said that the king “will not speak to me because of this security thing”, but that he no longer wanted to fight and “did not know how long my father has”.
The prince spoke to BBC News in California after losing an appeal on the security levels and his family was entitled to the United Kingdom.
Buckingham Palace said: “All these questions have been examined several times and meticulously by the courts, the same conclusion drawn on every occasion.”
After the decision of the court on Friday, the prince said: “I do not see people in which I would bring my wife and children to the United Kingdom to this stage.”
“There was so much disagreement between me and part of my family,” he added, but had now “forgiven”.
“I would love reconciliation with my family. There is no point in continuing to fight, life is precious,” said Prince Harry, who said that the dispute on his security had “always been the point of collision”.
The prince wanted to reverse the changes in his security which were introduced in 2020 while he retired as a royal work and moved to the United States.
By saying that he felt “disappointed”, he described his defeat of the Court as an “good old -fashioned establishment” and blamed the royal house for influenced the decision to reduce his security.
When asked if he had asked the king to intervene in the security dispute, Prince Harry said: “I never asked him to intervene – I asked him to get out of the way and let the experts do their job.”
The prince said that his treatment during the process of deciding on his security had “discovered my worst fears”.
He said about the decision: “I am devastated – not as much as devastated by the loss that I am on people behind the decision, feeling as if it was correct. Is it a victory for them?”
He continued: “I’m sure there are people there, probably the people who wish me harm, (who) consider it a huge victory.”
Prince Harry said that the decision to withdraw his automatic security law affected him “every day” and left him in a position where he cannot go back to the United Kingdom if he was invited by the royal family – because he would obtain sufficient security in the circumstances.
The prince said that the changes in his security status in 2020 had an impact not only him, but his wife and, later, his children too.
He continued by saying: “Everyone knew they were putting us in danger in 2020 and they hoped that me knowing that this risk would force us to come back.
“But when you realize that it didn’t work, don’t you want to keep us safe?
“Whether you are the government, the royal house, whether you are my father, my family – despite all our differences, don’t you just want to ensure our security?”
When he was asked if he had missed the United Kingdom, he added: “I love my country, I have always done, despite what some people in this country have done … And I think it’s really very sad not to be able to show my children my homeland.”
Prince Harry said he would not seek a new legal challenge, saying that Friday’s decision had “proved that there was no way to win this before the courts”.
“I wish someone told me this in advance,” he said, adding that the decision was a “surprise”.
He continued: “This, in the heart, is a family dispute, and it makes me really, really sad that we are seated here today, five years later, where a decision that was made most likely, in fact, I know, to keep us under the roof.”
Prince Harry spoke to the BBC shortly after losing his last legal challenge against the British government at the level of security level and his family was entitled during the visit.
The Court of Appeal rejected the Prince’s affair, which embodied the way in which an official committee made the decision to remove its eligibility for large -scale automatic protection in accordance with what the other superior royals receive.
On Friday, the court ruled that Prince Harry had advanced “powerful” arguments on the threat level which he and his family were confronted, but said that his “feeling of grievance” had not translated as a legal argument “.
His legal complaint was centered on a committee called the protection of fees and public figures (RAVEC), which authorizes security for the Senior Royals on behalf of the Home Office, and was chaired at the time by Sir Richard Motram.
Under the committee’s regulations, Prince Harry argued, his case should have been subject to the Ravec Risk Management Council (RMB), which would have assessed threats to his security and his family – but that did not happen.
On Friday, the higher judges said that the committee diverged politics during its decision -making in 2020 on the security of the prince, but concluded that it had been “judicious” to do so because of the complexity of its situation.
Prince Harry said his “jaw had struck the ground” when he discovered that a representative of the royal house was seated in the Ravec committee, and said that Friday’s decision had proven that his decision -making process was more influenced by the royal house than by legal constraints.
He said that there had been “interference” by the royal house in the 2020 decision, which he said led to its most risky royal demotion status at the slightest risk “of the day.”
“So we wonder how this is even possible and also the reason behind this at the time,” he added.
Prince Harry called British Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer and the interior secretary, Yvette Cooper, to intervene in his security case and to revise the functioning of the Ravec committee.
In a statement published Friday later, the prince said that he was writing to Cooper to “ask him to urgently examine the question and review the Ravec process”.
