Prince Harry lost his bid to reinstate security during visits to the U.K.
It's been a particularly tough time for Harry, who recently lost his bid to reinstate security during visits to the U.K., marking the conclusion of a lengthy court battle.
"There have been so many disagreements, differences, between me and some of my family," Harry told the BBC after this recent development. "This current situation that has been ongoing for five years with regard to human life and safety is the sticking point. It is the only thing that's left."
"I thought with all the disagreements and all of the chaos that's happening, the one thing that I could rely on is my family keeping me safe," the Spare author continued. "And not only did they decide to remove my security in the U.K., but they also signaled to every single government around the world not to protect us."
Harry lamented the ruling's potential long-term impact, revealing he couldn't "see a world" where he brings his wife and children back to his homeland amid the existing family tensions.
"Of course, some members of my family will never forgive me for writing a book. Of course, they will never forgive me for lots of things. But I would love reconciliation with my family," he shared.
Prince Harry is still hoping for a reconciliation with the royal family.
A spokesperson for Buckingham Palace addressed Harry's remarks, noting, "All of these issues have been examined repeatedly and meticulously by the courts, with the same conclusion reached on each occasion."
During his BBC interview, Harry stressed that "life is precious" and admitted he doesn't know "how much longer" his father, King Charles, has amid his battle with cancer.
Charles announced his diagnosis in February 2024, just weeks before Kate Middleton revealed her own cancer struggle. The Princess of Wales has since happily shared she is now in remission.
