Prince Harry Hopes to Reconcile With King Charles, Royal Family

Prince Harry remains hopeful about his relationship to his family.

After losing his appeal to dismiss a prior decision that upholding the U.K. government’s choice to cut his security protection, the Duke of Sussex expressed a desire to find “reconciliation” with the rest of the royal family amid their years-long estrangement.

“There have been so many disagreements, differences between me and some of my family,” Harry told The BBC in an interview published May 2. “This current situation that has been on our ongoing for five years with regard to human life and safety is the sticking point. It is the only thing that’s left.”

Still, the former senior member of the royal family—who shares son Prince Archie, 5, and daughter Princess Lilibet, 3, with wife Meghan Markle—pointed to his 2023 tell-all memoir Spare as another lingering issue between him and his family.

“Some members my family will never forgive me for writing a book,” Harry shared. “Of course, they will never forgive me for lots of things.”

E! News has reached out to Buckingham Palace for comment but has not heard back.

The Invictus Games founder would particularly mend fences with his father King Charles III, 76, who is currently undergoing cancer treatment.
