The Duke of Sussex has admitted in a bombshell interview he has no idea how long King Charles has left to live.

He has said he wants "reconciliation" with the rest of the Royal Family, in an emotional interview broadcast after he lost his High Court appeal over his security provision in the UK.

Prince Harry said he was cut off from his father King Charles in a BBC News interview in California, saying "He won't speak to me because of this security stuff."

He added he "did not know how much longer my father has".

King Charles has been undergoing treatment for cancer.

The Duke of Sussex, who now lives in California with wife Meghan Markle and their two children, claimed his family would "never forgive him".

However, he continued: "It would be nice to reconcile, as I learned through through the First Nations, throughout Canada because of the Invictus Games.

"Their goal in life was always truth and reconciliation.

"And I turned around to them in many conversations, I said, right, that reconciliation can't come without truth.

"I've now found out the truth. I've shared some of it with you today. A lot of it exists out there, whether people choose to ignore it or not. I would love to reconcile. If they don't want that - that's entirely up to them."

Harry insisted of the security row: "I never asked him to intervene - I asked him to step out of the way and let the experts do their jobs."

The prince said claimed his treatment during the process had "uncovered my worst fears".

In remarks which appear guarantee to widen the rift between himself and his father, and his brother Prince William, he added: "I can't see a world in which I would bring my wife and children back to the UK at this point.

"There have been so many disagreements between myself and some of my family."

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s move to the United States in 2020 marked a dramatic break from royal life, triggering widespread media coverage and internal family tensions.

Their bombshell interview with Oprah Winfrey, followed by the release of their Netflix documentary Harry & Meghan, portrayed the Royal Family as cold and unwelcoming — fuelling a global debate and backlash.

The publication of Harry’s memoir Spare deepened the rift, with personal accusations and intimate details that left senior royals blindsided and reportedly furious - Harry even claimed he had been physically attacked by his brother on one occasion.

The fallout has unquestionably been enormous, with long-term damage to Harry’s relationships.
