Prince Harry's recent bombshell BBC interview featured a number of cryptic comments, including a serious accusation that people want to see him along with his family in "harm's way" and hoped that the "sense of threat" would put him back in the Firm.
He expressed that there are certain individuals he claims wanted to see him come to harm. However, when asked to name the people he was referring to, he witheld and gave an ominous response instead. In a remark that could put senior royals like King Charles and Prince William on edge, he simply said: "I'm not going to share, at this point."
Allegations of that severity would do extreme public damage to an invidiual whether true or not and those three words "at this point" suggested that Harry could potentially expose the names of those he is accusing at some point in the future.
The ccomment comes as a shock especially after the explosive interview aired, following a huge setback for the embattled Duke - after he lost an appeal to overturn a High Court ruling which resulted in his UK security being downgraded.
According to royal insiders, King Charles has be left frustrated and upset by his son's interview, which has widened the gap between the two. Yet, if Harry were to ever attach actual royal names to his allegation, the damage done would more than likely be irreversable.
Harry also appeared to blame his father for their broken relationship, as he says King Charles refuses to speak to him, yet the "whole thing could be resolved through him".
The half-hour BBC interview also saw Harry talk about his security being cut off following his and his wife, Meghan's decision to step down as senior royals. On the other hand, said he would like to "reconcile" with the King and that he has "forgiven" his family.
His father's illness was also addressed in the interview, with Harry saying he does "not know how long he [King Charles] has left". A royal source told ITV News that the comments were done in "poor taste" and that the King "has quite enough on his plate to deal with".
They also revealed that the late Queen would have been "truly horrified" by Harry's blow up, and that he has further isolated himself from his family, despite claims of him wanting a reconciliation.
