A Royal Family expert has shared his thoughts on Prince Harry's latest interview and the possibility of the Duke of Sussex reconciling with his family.

The prince spoke to BBC News after losing an appeal over the levels of security he and his family are entitled to if and when they visit the UK. Royal expert Richard Fitzwilliams told the Daily Express: "The King and Queen will shortly visit Canada where he will open Parliament. This was last carried out by a reigning monarch in 1957 by Queen Elizabeth and is symbolically very important, especially given the threat from the United States. Yet the news has been dominated by Prince Harry's ill-advised and destructive interview on the BBC about security."

Harry has endured a rocky relationship with King Charles following several accusations he and Meghan Markle made towards the Royal Family when they stepped down as senior royals and moved to the US in early 2020.

In this new interview, the prince said his father "won't speak to me because of this security stuff".

The Duke of Sussex told the BBC he "would love a reconciliation" with his family, and also said he was "devastated" at losing a legal challenge over his security in the UK.

Mr Fitzwilliams added: "He was undoubtedly traumatised by the tragic death of his mother Princess Diana, but the emotional, often confused and deeply antagonistic content of his interview will effectively bury any chance of any reconciliation between him and the Royal Family.

“To give an interview like that just before an occasion like this, even if it was when he had heard he had lost his court case, was unforgivable.

“He spoke in haste and, if he does genuinely want reconciliation, will probably regret at leisure.”

Prince Harry said during the interview that he did not want to fight anymore and did not know how long King Charles had left to live.

After losing the appeal, Prince Harry said: "I can't see a world in which I would bring my wife and children back to the UK at this point."
