Prince Harry expressed his desire for "reconciliation" with the royal family in an interview with the BBC, but said his father, King Charles, won't speak to him due to a court dispute over his British government security detail. Harry was "devastated" by a UK High Court ruling rejecting his appeal in the case, which he said makes it "impossible" for him to return to the UK with his family. He believes the decision to remove his security entitlement was made to keep him and his family within the royal institution, but now that they've stepped back, their safety is being put at risk. Harry stated he can only safely return to the UK if invited by the royal family, and expressed sadness that he may not be able to show his children the UK. He emphasized that life is precious, especially given his father's cancer diagnosis, and that he would love to reconcile with his family.

Prince Harry lost his appeal over having his official security detail downgraded when he visits the UK. Harry had argued that private bodyguards are not sufficient to protect him and his family, but the court ruled that his sense of grievance did not translate into a legal argument to challenge the earlier decision to scale back his tax-funded close protection detail after he stepped down as a working royal.
