Prince Harry said on Friday that he wants to reconcile with the British royal family, but that his father, King Charles, would not talk to him because of a dispute over his safety and that he did not know how long the monarch, who has cancer, would live.
Hours after losing a judicial battle with the British government about his police protection, Harry gave an emotional interview BBCin which he said he did not think he could bring his family back to the UK.
“I would love to reconcile with my family,” said Harry. “Life is precious. I don’t know how long my father still has. He doesn’t want to talk to me because of this security issue, but it would be good to reconcile me.”
Harry moved away from real duties in March 2020 and moved to California with his American wife Meghan.
Since then, both have criticized royalty and prince can barely talk to his father or older brother, heir to the throne, Prince William.
In the meantime, Buckingham Palace revealed that Charles was diagnosed with an unspecified form of cancer, although advisors were optimistic about the progress of their treatment.

There was no immediate comment from Buckingham’s palace about the prince’s interview.
Harry’s comments were made after he unsuccessfully tried to nullify a home office decision – the ministry responsible for policing – which in 2020 decided that he would not automatically receive personal police protection in the UK.
The prince told the BBC that he was “quite slaughtered with the decision,” adding, “We thought it would be our way.”

Harry, who had previously stated that the royal institution had sacrificed him to protect other senior members, said he believed the decision on his safety had been made to exercise control over him.
“They have already described me, after people knew about the facts, which is an old -fashioned stablishment frame. And that’s what it seems,” he said.
