Harrythe rebel prince, launches an appeal to reconciliation with the British royal family, after the judgment of the London Court of Appeal which confirmed the revocation of the escort during his visits to the United Kingdom. In an interview with BBCthe Duke of Sussex said he was “upset” for the decision, but also expressed the desire to mend the relationships with his father, King Charles III: «I don’t know how much the remains to be lived, my father no longer speaks to me for this. It does not make sense to continue fighting, life is precious. “
Harry, who lives in California with his wife Meghan and children after detachment from Windsor in 2020, recalled the “many disagreements” with some family members, in particular with his brother Williamand admitted that “some will never forgive me for writing a book”, referring to his spare autobiography. However, he said he had “forgiven” and concluded: “If they don’t want to reconcile, it will depend entirely on them”.
His words, however, did not find opening from Buckingham Palace, who replied with a dry note: “All these issues have been examined repeatedly and meticulously by various courts, with the same conclusions on every occasion”. Unofficial sources added that King Charles would have considered constitutionally improper to interfere in the legal process.
Judge Geoffrey Vos considered the refusal of the “logical” and “legally founded” escort, considering Harry’s renunciation to the role of senior member of the royal family. Although the prince’s lawyers raised the risk for security, the court confirmed the position of theHome Officewhich will guarantee protection only by chance, even in the presence of his wife and children Archie and Lilibet. The Duke, who attended both an appeal hearings, reacted with bitter and moved tones, leaving the hope of a future rapprochement open.
