Prince Harry said in an interview with the BBC that he “would like to reconcile” with the royal family. At the same time, he expressed regret over a court ruling that rejected his appeal regarding the security of himself and his family in the United Kingdom.

Harry had challenged changes to his security arrangements introduced in 2020, when he stepped back from royal duties and moved to the U.S.

The Duke of Sussex noted that the King “does not speak with him due to the security issues,” but emphasized he no longer wants to continue the conflicts. “I don’t know how much time my father has left,” he stated.

Buckingham Palace responded, saying: “These matters have been thoroughly examined by the courts on multiple occasions, with consistent conclusions each time.”

Following the court's latest decision, Harry said: “I can't imagine a situation where I would bring my wife and children to the UK right now.”

He acknowledged there had been longstanding disagreements with members of his family.

“There have been so many differences between myself and some family members, but now I would like reconciliation. There’s no point in fighting anymore—life is precious,” Harry said, noting that security concerns have always been the main obstacle.

He said he felt “betrayed,” calling the court defeat a “conspiracy by an outdated system,” and accused royal family members of influencing the decision to reduce his security.

When asked whether he had asked the King to intervene, Harry said: “I never asked him to intervene—just told him to let the experts do their job.”

Harry stated the security case “revealed his worst fears.”

“I’m disappointed—not so much by the loss itself but by the people behind the decision, as if this is normal. Is this a victory for them? I’m sure there are people—likely those who wish me harm—who see this as a major win,” he said.

Harry stressed that revoking his security rights “affects me every day” and added he could only return safely to the UK if invited by the royal family, which would guarantee adequate protection.

He said the 2020 change in security status affected not only him but also his wife and children.

“Everyone knew that from 2020 they were putting us in danger and hoped that fear would make us come back. But when that didn’t work—don’t you want us to be safe?

Whether you are the government, the Royal House, my father, or my family—regardless of our differences—don’t you just want to keep us safe?” he asked.

When asked if he missed the UK, he replied: “I love my country, always have—no matter what some people have done… and it’s really sad I can’t show my homeland to my children.”

Harry has decided not to pursue further legal action, saying the court ruling made clear that “winning through the legal system is not possible.”

“This is essentially a family dispute, and it’s really, really sad that we are here five years later, after a decision likely made just to keep us out,” he said.

He insisted the Royal Household intervened in the 2020 decision, which overnight reduced his protection level despite being one of the highest-risk royals.

“So the question is—how was that possible, and what was the motive at the time?” he added.

Harry said he was shocked to learn that a representative of the Royal Household sat on the Ravec committee and claimed the ruling showed the decision was driven less by legal grounds and more by royal influence.

He has since appealed to UK Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer and Home Secretary Yvette Cooper to intervene in his security case and reform the Ravec committee.

The court noted Harry presented “strong” arguments about threats facing him and his family but concluded his “sense of grievance” was not a legal argument.

His legal complaint was against the Royal and VIP Executive Committee (Ravec), which operates under the Home Office and was chaired at the time by Sir Richard Mottram.

Judges acknowledged that Ravec deviated from policy when making its 2020 decision, but concluded the move was “reasonable” given the complexity of his situation.
