Prince Harry wants “reconciliation” with his estranged family, but “can’t see” himself bringing “his wife and children back to the UK” after losing a security court case, he told the BBC Friday.

“Some members of my family will never forgive me for writing a book … but I would love for reconciliation,” Harry told the BBC.

The interview aired hours after London’s Court of Appeal rejected Harry’s appeal to restore his full UK police protection when visiting Britain, a decision that left him “devastated”.

“I can’t see a world in which I would be bringing my wife and children back to the UK,” the visibly upset prince told the broadcaster.

Harry, who quit the British royal family in 2020, revealed that his father King Charles “won’t speak to me because of this security stuff”.

As a result, he does not know how long his father, who is receiving treatment for cancer, has left to live, the prince said.
