King Charles Addresses Public After Prince Harry’s Sh0cking Interview

The tension surrounding Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s feud with the United Kingdom’s monarchy has only grown more dramatic in recent months.

In a recent interview with BBC News, the 40-year-old Harry spoke candidly about the estranged relationship he holds with his family, telling the news outlet that Charles “won’t speak to me” owing to their past personal differences.

The interview came hours after the U.K. courts upheld their decision to decrease Harry’s level of security when the prince is visiting his native country. The United Kingdom chose to cut down on Harry’s protective measures after he and his wife Meghan Markle moved to the U.S. in 2020 — a decision Harry has been hard at work trying to reverse for the past five years.

Speaking with the BBC, Harry shed light on his immediate response to the court’s ruling, as well as his current relationship to the royal family. In light of the legal development, the Duke of Sussex specifically said the decision lessens any possibility of his returning to the U.K.

“For the time being, it’s impossible to bring my family back to the U.K.,” the Duke of Sussex said. “I can’t see a world in which I would be bringing my wife and children back to the U.K. at this point.”

In spite of the highly publicized feud between himself and his family, Harry has said that he would love to reconcile with Charles, remarking, “I would love reconciliation with my family. There’s no point in continuing to fight anymore. Life is precious. I don’t know how much longer my father has.”

In a recent announcement from Buckingham Palace, the 76-year-old Charles addressed the upcoming festivities surrounding VE Day: an annual celebration marking the historical conclusion of World War II. Most noticeably, the royal representatives left out any mention of Harry’s interview, encouraging everyone to instead pay their respects to the sacrifices made by veterans within the nation’s military.

“The King, Queen and other members of the royal family are much looking forward to all the week’s VE Day events,” a Buckingham Palace aide said this past Sunday.

“They will unite with the rest of the nation and the Commonwealth in celebrating and giving thanks to the wartime generation, whose selfless devotion to duty should stand as an enduring example to us all.”
