Ten bombshell claims by Prince Harry in astonishing BBC interview… from HIM forgiving royals to his anger at Britain
PRINCE Harry made 10 bombshell claims during his shock BBC interview today.
The Royal gave an extraordinary interview after losing his appeal against the decision to remove his taxpayer-funded security.
In a fresh scathing attack, the Duke of Sussex unleashed a host of new claims including how dad Charles is no longer speaking to him and how he’s “uncovered his worst fears”.
Here we take a look at some of the most astonishing new comments – with jibes at everyone from the late Queen to the British public.
RECONCILIATION
The Duke of Sussex said he would “love reconciliation” with the royal family.
This comes after years of feuding with the family, including his own brother Prince William, since he and Megan stepped down as working royals in 2020.
In the interview, he said: “There have been so many disagreements between myself and some of my family.”
Now he’s said that he has finally “forgiven” them.
Hopes of reconciliation may be spurred on by Harry’s concerns for his father’s health, sharing: “I don’t know how long he has left.”
The feud between the Duke and his family started when he and Meghan Markle announced on January 8, 2020, that they would be stepping down as ‘senior’ members of the Royal Family.
After carrying out their last official engagements and moving to California, there have been reports of feuds within the family.
Princes Harry and William are said to be now barely be on speaking terms following the Duke and Duchess of Sussex’s shock exit.
William was reportedly “blindsided” by Harry’s decision to ditch his duties to live in his Montecito mansion with Meghan and the pair have yet to make amends.
This ultimately led to he and the King not even being on speaking terms.
He continued: “There is no point in continuing to fight any more.
“Life is precious.”
NO CONTACT WITH THE KING
A tragic revelation in the bombshell interview was that when Prince Harry revealed that his father, King Charles, won’t speak to him.
Harry said when making the emotional admission: “He won’t speak to me because of this security stuff.
“There have been so many disagreements between myself and some of my family.”
The rift since during the security debate has only further widened the feud between Harry and his family.
Another blow to the Royal relationships struck when Harry released his memoir Spare in 2023.
Harry didn’t hold back in the controversial book which caused a deeper chasm between him and his brother.
In the bombshell memoir, he detailed Megxit and how the Royal family brand Meghan Markle “difficult” and “rude.”
He slammed Queen Camilla as a villain and was highly criticised for outing his family for cash.
“There have been so many disagreements, differences between me and some of my family,” he added.
“This current situation – ongoing for 5 years – is the sticking point.
“Of course some members of my family will never forgive me for writing the book, for lots of things.”
KING’S DECISION
He says the future of him, his family, and their relationship with the UK will depend on King Charles.
Keen for the family to make up, the Duke says whether a reconciliation is on the cards will ultimately be up to his father, saying: “It’s in his hands.”
LET DOWN BY UK
The Prince said he felt “let down” by his country.
After losing the appeal over receiving security for himself and his family, after battling for three-and-a-half years, he expressed he was immensely disappointed with the verdict.
He described the defeat as a “good old fashioned establishment stitch-up” and pointed his finger at the Royal Household on swaying the decision.
“Not so much as devastated with the loss that I am about the people behind the decision feeling as if this is OK,” he added.
NO MORE UK
Harry initially expressed how he was concerned for his safety in the UK.
Now, after losing his fight for security measures, he doesn’t believe he can safely visit his country.
“I can’t see a world in which I would bring my wife and children back to the UK at this point,” he shared.
SINGLED OUT
The Prince said he felt like he had been “singled out” and treated unfairly by the Royal family.
When talking about his treatment during the security security spat he said he’d “uncovered his worst fears” and felt he was being picked on.
“I’ve been treated very very very differently to anyone else who exists, past or present, I’ve been singled out,” the Duke said.
KING’S INTERVENTION
White the trail over Harry’s security continued, it was speculated that he had asked the King to step in.
Harry denied that this happened, and insisted the opposite was in fact true.
He said: “I never asked him to intervene – I asked him to step out of the way and let the experts do their jobs.”
NO ESCAPE
In the shock interview, the Duke said that no matter what he did he could not escape being a Royal.
“I am what I am, I can’t escape what I am,” he said, explaining there was nothing he could do.
Despite the infamous “Megxit” in 2020 where he and Meghan Markle stepped down as working Royals, Harry said this did not bring him the desired escape.
RISKS WITH MEGHAN
The Royal said marrying Meghan Markle “increased” his risks of the UK.
The Duchess of Sussex is a former actress and A-lister who comes with her own level of stardom.
Harry insinuated that the pairing added to the security risks, meaning security was even more necessary the previously – therefore its denial was a bigger blow.
SHOCK LOSS
Harry branded the lost appeal as a complete “surprise” and appeared shocked that he would not be receiving any further security.
The news led him to turn his back on the UK and claim he would no longer be visiting his homeland.
He said: “A lot more has come out, I felt it needed to come out, the other side of the story needed to be told and I don’t regret that at all.
“I couldn’t believe, I thought with all the disagreements and chaos, the one thing I could rely on is my family keeping me safe.”
Buckingham Palace has broken its silence after the shock interview.
A Palace Spokesperson said: “All of these issues have been examined repeatedly and meticulously by the courts, with the same conclusion reached on each occasion.”
