Prince Harry has revealed the reason that his family won't forgive him in a bombshell interview. The Duke of Sussex has sat down in a BBC interview and spoken at length following his court battle in the UK over security. This comes after the Court of Appeal's decision to reject his challenge to the High Court's decision of his UK security arrangements, which were made in 2020.

Sitting down with the BBC's Nada Tawfik near his home in Santa Barbara, California, the Duke criticised the ruling and said it had been a "sticking point" for the rift between himself and his family. The prince also said in the interview that his memoir Spare, published in 2023, is the reason that mending bridges with his relations is going to be hard.

Speaking to the BBC, Harry said: "Of course some members of my family will never forgive me for writing a book, of course they will never forgive me for lots of things, but I would love reconcilation with my family. There's no point in continuing to fight anymore."

He also said his father King Charles "won't speak" to him because of "this security stuff".

Talking to the BBC, an emotional duke also admitted that he does not know how long his father has left.

He also said it is "sad" his children will also likely never get to know his home country.

He said: "I can't see a world in which I would bring my wife and children back to the UK at this point and the things that they're going to miss is, well, everything.

"I think it's really quite sad that I won't be able to show my children my homeland.

"I can only come to the UK safely if I'm invited. There is a lot of control and ability in my father's hands."
