Prince Harry Calls for Reconciliation with Royal Family as Security Row Deepens

London, May 2, 2025 — Prince Harry has expressed his willingness to reconcile with the British royal family, even as a lingering dispute over security arrangements continues to widen the divide, particularly with his father, King Charles III.

Speaking in a candid interview, Harry said he has “forgiven” the royal family and hopes to reconnect soon, especially in light of his father’s health and the uncertainty of time. However, he also revealed that King Charles has stopped communicating with him, with the breakdown in contact reportedly linked to the ongoing legal battle regarding police protection during Harry’s visits to the UK.

The disagreement stems from the government’s refusal to grant Harry automatic security, a decision upheld by the Court of Appeal. Since stepping down from royal duties in 2020, the Duke of Sussex has insisted that security remains essential due to past threats and a highly publicized incident involving paparazzi. Though the court ruled against him, the government has said that future protection requests could be evaluated individually.

Harry’s legal battle has further complicated his already strained ties with other royals, particularly Prince William. Observers once hoped Princess Eugenie—long seen as a close confidante—could help bridge the gap. However, recent signs suggest even that relationship has cooled, making reconciliation more difficult.

The Duke underscored that his top priority is the safety of his family and the hope for healing past wounds, hinting at a desire to move beyond the animosity that has defined recent years.
