Prince Harry Reveals King Charles ‘Won’t Speak to Me’ in Emotional Interview

In a deeply personal BBC interview aired on May 2, 2025, Prince Harry disclosed that his father, King Charles III, “won’t speak” to him, laying bare the ongoing emotional and logistical strain in their relationship. Harry also emphasized his desire for reconciliation and criticized the British government and royal institution over his security arrangements during visits to the UK.

King Charles ‘Won’t Speak to Me’ – Prince Harry’s Painful Revelation

During the interview, the Duke of Sussex said his relationship with King Charles remains fractured. Despite efforts to reconnect, Harry revealed that communication has completely broken down:

“I would love reconciliation with my family. There’s no point in continuing to fight anymore. Life is precious. I don’t know how much longer my father has.”

This poignant admission highlights both Harry’s longing for family unity and the gravity of the King’s ongoing health concerns.

Legal Defeat Over Security Sparks Royal Tensions

Prince Harry’s comments came shortly after losing a legal appeal to reinstate his publicly funded UK police protection. The British court ruled that his security would remain limited, even when visiting as a private citizen.

He called the verdict “an establishment stitch-up,” suggesting senior palace aides influenced the decision to strip him of protections.

The security row has been a major barrier in Harry’s efforts to visit the UK with his wife Meghan Markle and their children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet.

Harry Still Hopes for Reconciliation

Despite these setbacks, Harry expressed a forgiving tone. He avoided blame and emphasized emotional healing:

“There’s no bitterness anymore.”
“I just want my kids to know their grandfather.”

These statements mark a clear shift from earlier, more confrontational interviews and memoirs like Spare, where Harry had been sharply critical of the royal establishment.

Buckingham Palace Responds

Buckingham Palace has remained largely silent, issuing only a brief statement that the court decisions regarding Harry’s security had been “fair, consistent, and fully reviewed.”

There has been no public comment from King Charles himself.
