“Quite Rightly”: Prince Harry Says King Charles ‘Won’t Speak’ To Him, Makes Ominous Claim About Diana
Prince Harry gave quite a few hitting remarks during a recent bombshell interview with BBC News.
Ever since the 40-year-old stepped back from his royal duties with his wife Meghan Markle back in 2020, his relationship with the public and with his family hasn’t exactly been ideal.
After losing a legal challenge over his UK taxpayer-funded security, the Duke of Sussex opened up about his tensions with his loved ones, specifically his relationship with his father King Charles, who has been diagnosed with cancer.
Highlights
- Prince Harry says King Charles refuses to speak with him over security funding disputes.
- Harry expresses a desire for family reconciliation, stressing life's preciousness amid his father's cancer diagnosis.
- Experts criticize Harry for airing family issues publicly, urging private reconciliation instead.

“He won’t speak to me because of this security stuff,” he told the news outlet. “I would love reconciliation with my family. There’s no point in continuing to fight anymore.”
He continued, “Life is precious. I don’t know how much longer my father has.”

In the prince’s eyes, this may have been his idea of throwing a lifeline out to the royal family. But Ailsa Anderson, a former press secretary of the late Queen, has a different idea, saying Buckingham Palace will be “raising their eyes heavenwards” regarding his words.
“Prince Harry is saying ‘I don’t know how long my father has’ — that’s going to cause real concern and more speculation in the media and the wider public about what his diagnosis is, which is incredibly unhelpful going forward,” she told Sky News.
“What you don’t want to do is have your private life played out in the media. So if you truly want reconciliation, you’ll do it in private, not in a BBC News interview.”

Ex-BBC royal correspondent Jennie Bond also wrote on the subject in the Daily Express, saying that Harry “says he can only come back to the UK with his family if he is invited, because then he would get the security he believes he needs.”
However, this “bombshell of an interview is unlikely to bring that invitation any closer. And that’s because at the root of the rift is the question of trust.”

“Harry’s father and brother do not trust Harry to keep conversations private. And this loudspeaker of a diatribe against them is not going to make them change their minds,” she concluded.
But the Duke’s comments about his father weren’t the only thing that caught viewers’ attention.

He also gave a chilling insinuation that his new downgraded security status could leave him and his family to potentially suffer the same fate as the late Princess Diana, who passed away from a car crash in Paris in 1997.
The 40-year-old mentioned that he feels he is in a position of greater risk to “some people” who would wish to harm him.
“I don’t want history to repeat itself. Through the [court] process, I have discovered that some people want history to repeat itself,” he told BBC, keeping Meghan and their two children Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet in mind.

He continued, “I’m sure that some people out there, probably most likely the people that wish me harm, consider this a huge win.”
Additionally, Daily Mail reported that the producers of the original interview were stunned as the emotionally driven Prince ended up speaking for half an hour, though they only agreed to talk for a maximum of 10 minutes.

In hindsight, it did make sense as the outlet clarified no topic was off-limits as he sat down with journalist Nada Tawfik. She later reported that throughout the interview, Prince Harry seemed somewhat agitated, always tapping his foot, but also acting “candid and forthcoming.”
This Friday, May 2, the Court of Appeals dismissed Harry’s legal challenge against the government regarding his publicly funded security when he is in the UK — a battle he has been fighting since September 2021.
Netizens agreed Prince Harry should go for more of a private approach if he hopes for family reconciliation

Harry thinks way too highly of himself and LOVES to hear himself talk. History isn't going to repeat itself because no one cares! Least of all about that all self important wife nutmeg (a moniker that was given to her by Princess Anne). No. One. Cares. He opens his mouth too much. When William becomes king he will be stripped of everything! And if that woman uses HRH on anything ever again he's going to chew her up and spit her out the way she deserves. Wills can only do this with the blessings of Parliament and he's been getting buddy buddy with them. Send the trash back to the trailer!

He doesn't mention all the Royal Family are afraid to talk to him. Whatever they say could end up mis-quoted in his next Netflix documentary. I don't blame them, nothing is sacred to Haz.

Karma's a B. The universe is teaching M & H a lesson. I can't help but feel this is a similiar playbook that Meghan's family used. How did that work out for them?

No. I'm a Brit and do not agree with providing him with taxpayer funded protection. He chose to leave, let him sort his own s**t out.

It isn't just UK taxpayer funded protection. If he kept the status he wanted, then whenever he visited another country then they would also have to give him the same level of protection as a vitising Royal - so other countries would also have to pay the bill for his protection.

I try not to get into arguements about Harry, but he decided to step back as a "working royal", which means he doesn't get automatic Police protection, but it is assessed on a case by case basis. He then stated he would pay for this himself, but the major flaw in this is, if you allow one individual to pay for Police protection then you need to extend this out to anyone with money. Finally, he is that afraid of being bumped off that he has been back to the UK several times to his various court cases... all without Police protection. *Edit* added this article from The Sun (British tabloid newspaper), which aludes to Harry being offered accomodation at The Palace (with Police protection) but chose to stay with a friend instead - https://www.thesun.co.uk/royals/34784611/prince-harry-deliveroo-takeaway-security-risk/

He truly is a wānker. I'm so pleased that - barring an cataclysmic disaster - he will never become king. This is pretty much a ceremonial position where I live. The Prime Minister has more authority than the Governor General. But, either way, James Hewitt's son is a twāt!

The British monarchy is ceremonial full stop. They perform an ambassadorial function but that and opening hospitals and promoting good causes is pretty much it. Anything relating to the running of the country is for form's sake and not truly a vital part. Kept in after the monarchy were re-established merely to make them feel useful, quite frankly. He's also really not James Hewitt's son - timing is wrong and he looks nothing like him and very much like his grandfather - the close set eyes for instance.

This entitled d****t is no different to any reality TV moron as in the absence of any actual talent, all he has to sell is gossip. Nothing's ever his fault and too stupid to realise he's been manipulated by his horrible wife. The entitlement of him expecting the public to pay for his own security when he stepped away from the royal family is staggering. Go and get a proper job.

We as a society need to stop allowing extreme wealth, what you get is people like this who think they are the victims when they have many thousands of times more money and resources than everyone else, and they still try to take the public resources for themselves. If he needs security when he visits he can d**n well pay for it himself with the proceeds from his lame Amazon documentary.

He can pay for his own security, but it won't be armed security that can escort him everywhere on blue lights and sirens like the Police can. Interesting though, that the last time he came to England for this court case he was allegedly offered accomodation at a Royal residence, but turned it down in favour of staying with a friend, who used Deliveroo to deliver food to the house - not exactly in keeping with someone who is such a high-profile target that he needs the highest level of protection the UK can afford him...
