Royal Family Responds to Prince Harry’s BBC Interview, Supports U.K. Court’s Decision
The royal family has spoken out — through a terse Buckingham Palace statement — after a United Kingdom court denied Prince Harry’s request for security protection, and after Harry said he wouldn’t bring his family back to his home country.
“All of these issues have been examined repeatedly and meticulously by the courts, with the same conclusion reached on each occasion,” the Buckingham Palace statement said, per The Washington Post.
When Harry stepped back from working-royal status in 2020, the Royal and VIP Executive Committee stripped him of the full protection afforded to senior royals in the family, which includes specially trained police officers with access to British intelligence information, according to the Post.
A U.K. court ruled this February that Harry was not entitled to full protection, and the prince appealed that ruling. But on Friday, May 2, the Court of Appeal upheld the earlier decision, with Judge Geoffrey Vos saying that Harry’s legal team had made “powerful and moving” arguments but that those arguments did not “translate into a legal argument.”
In a BBC interview after Friday’s legal setback, Harry said that he only gets full protection if he comes to the U.K. on official business and said that the security downgrade was used as “leverage” when he decided to step back from royal duties.
“I can only come to the U.K. safely if I’m invited, and there is a lot of control and ability in my father’s hands,” he said of King Charles III. “This, at the heart of it, is a family dispute. And it makes me really, really sad that we’re sitting here today, five years later, where a decision that was made most likely — in fact, I know — to keep us under the roof.”
Amid what he said feels like “a good, old-fashioned establishment stitch-up,” Harry said he likely won’t be returning to the United Kingdom with wife Meghan Markle and their children, Archie, 5, and Lilibet, 3.
“I can’t see a world in which I would be bringing my wife and children back to the U.K. at this point,” he said. “And the things that they’re going to miss is, well, everything. You know, I love my country, I always have done, despite what some people in that country have done. So I miss the U.K., I miss parts of the U.K. — of course I do — and I think that it’s really quite sad that I won’t be able to show my children my homeland.”
He also said that he’s not on speaking terms with Charles but wants a reconciliation, especially now that his father is undergoing treatment for cancer. “There’s no point in continuing to fight anymore. As I said, life is precious. I don’t know how much longer my father has, you know? He won’t speak to me because of this security stuff, but it would be nice to reconcile.”

He burned the bridge so badly it can't be rebuilt. No one to blame but himself. Deal with it and pay for your own security. You chose to step down and leave. Accept responsibility for your choices and actions.

Why does this man-child think he is in such danger? He and his grifter wife made their bed and seal it with books, interviews, documentaries and spoiled behavior. Nothing has kept him from letting his children( if there are any) get to know his father - their grandfather. Shame on them as parents and human beings.

He published the number of people he killed in Afghan. He said they were like chess pieces on a booor reference to a game. The Taliban was unhappy with that. No one brags about how many they killed. Most will not even say if they killed somebody in battle.

If he wants a reconciliation he needs to keep his mouth shut. He makes the most outrageous, false statements about his family. I read he said that the “family” won’t be happy until Megan is dead. OMG! This little boy can’t be trusted with anything. He needs mental help. They travel all over the US with little to no security and they do so because NO ONE CARES what they do. Do you see paparazzi swarming all over them? No. They are not celebrity, they are not royals. They are ordinary people despite their narcissist belief otherwise.

I agree with you Lucy. Harry was born of royalty and is just as royal as William. William could help with this matter, only if he wanted to. But this way he and his family get all of the attention. At any rate, I wish this family the best, but they all have to want to have a relationship with Harry, Megan, and the children.

People need to research the issue. More than once it has been reported that Harry has offered to pay for security, but that security will not have access to intelligence information nor will be able to carry weapons. Harry and his family are targets by terrorists and the British government has admitted this in the past.

Harry wants his security to wear side arms or carry of some sort. UK security of royal family carry but paid security Harry spoke of are not allowed. If Harry comes to visit he’ll have full royal protection. But he is a private citizen living the United States, why should the people of United Kingdom pay for him to go play across the world as he sees fit. He’s been to several hazardous countries on purpose!!! I’ve yet to hear or see any threats made against him or the wife except out of Harry’s imagination

He didn't know how long his father had before he was diagnosed with cancer. No one knows -- something mature people try to keep in mind rather than acting rashly.

IF I WAS the Britush people i would demand he pay back all the money spent on him since birth till now .....this money can be used to help feed the millions of hungry people in this terrible Britian he indulted.

It’s hard to read articles like this that ignore the facts that have been explained. If you can’t remember, or are confused about the facts, don’t comment! He’s afraid of terrorists, from inside and outside England—not ordinary criminals. He has also offered to pay, but his private security would not have access to intelligence reports that would show what the threats are, and they cannot carry guns. Your whole post is based on lies. Learn something before you post. Killing Harry and his family would be a coup to some terrorists because he is the son of the King, which is not his fault and has nothing to do with him leaving royal life. Can’t help who your parents are!!! It just seems like a petty way to punish him for who he married, and what a shame a son and father may not speak before the father dies. Life is too short for this.

I agree with you 100%! Most of these people who are posting such hateful comments have obviously forgotten the reason they left in the first place...the other "Royals" said terrible things about Mehgan regarding her race and that they were afraid the Prince Archie would be black. Come on people, they were treated so terribly that they thought the only thing to do was leave. None of this is Harry and Meghan fault!

Who said stuff about her race? Who? They allowed them to marry right? Stop buying the poor us storyline. If you understood genetics then you should know Archie would be lighter skinned not that it matters. Don’t believe everything is all the royal family’s fault. Harry and Megan are at fault as well.

You people are one sided and validate all this man Charles over the years could get away with. A bratty person. He used a 19 year old girl fr the sake of his crown and blame mamma and the crpwn fr marrying her without love. NEVER PERSONAL RESPONSIBILITY FR HIS ACTIONS. THE INSTITUTION STANDING UP FR HIM OR DECIDE FR HIM OR ALWAYS IN THE NAME OF PROTECTING THE CROWN. HIS UNCLE LIVED IN EXCILE FR MARRYING THE LOVE OF HIS LIVE...ABANDEND BY THE ROYALS. CHARLE'S MISTRESS GOT A CROWN. PRINCESS DIANA LOST HER TITLE. THIS FAMILY IS NO FAMILY THEY SELFSERVING AND RUDE PEOPLE INSIDE THE PALACE WHALLS. STOP BLAMING THE GOOD GUYS AND SEE THE NARCISSISTIC ACTIONS OF A MAN GROW OLD IN HIS SELFISH WAYS, ALWAYS GET WHAT HE WANTS. HE IS NO FATHER!

I think, as a professional counselor, that Harry has PTSD and some of his decisions are made due to this issue. Quick to react is one of the things that happens with PTSD, whether it is right or wrong. When pushed in a corner the person reacts with either fight or flight. Fight, however sometimes hurtful, is the route of Harry. I pray for him and wish that he could finally have the life that he truly wants but I do see a difficult road for him.
126 20

P
Also as a professional counsellor I have no clue what criteria you used to diagnose PTSD except one clue.
Is it possible he is acting as entitled. Not wanting to work yet goes to court to demand the privilege of state protection.
In what way is a person unsafe who has 100's o millions of dollars to pay for the best security firms in the world.

The best security firms in the world are not privy to UK intelligence information or allowed the use of weapons in protection, which is why he requested to be able to PAY FOR the police to protect him (since they have that information and are allowed weapons) and he was denied. Because of this, he and his family are not safe. He's fifth in line for the Crown, his father is the King. And he can't get effective security because his father won't speak to him. Why should he risk his life to come to the UK if his father won't even see him?

He is the one who chose to leave his job/family and then proceed to bad mouth them all. He doesn’t deserve the security because he is not part of the working royal family. Harry and wife should have thought through their plan more carefully.
5 3
-
B
He "badmouthed" them because he wanted the truth to be told, as the royal family had used the UK press to badmouth Meghan, and then when Harry stuck up for her, they badmouthed him. There's such classism and racism in the royal family that because Meghan was (1) not British, (2) had been divorced, and (3) was of mixed ethnicity, she was basically shunned by everyone but the Queen, and Prince Phillip. Even Harry was prevented from seeing his grandmother shortly before she died due to "The Firm," the staff of the royal family. There's so much animosity towards Harry and Meghan that STARTED with his father and brother and their staff, before they ever stepped back on their duties. Meghan got the same treatment as Diana because she was more popular than Kate. The royal family could have asked Meghan to bridge the race gap between the UK and some Commonwealth countries, and had a wonderful representative to help smooth those situations where anti-colonialism was taking hold, but instead they treated her poorly, especially compared to Kate. So why would they want to stay where they weren't wanted?

That was my question as well. Does Harry suffer from PTSD whenever his demands are not obeyed? Seventeen years as a professional counselor in Upstate New York finds that possibly a bit closer to the issue at hand.

Is the PTSD you mentioned about his mother's divorce (regarding Camilla) and her death, or the fact that he and Meghan were treated so shabbily by his father and brother and brother's wife? I place all the blame on Harry's father and brother and sister-in-law. They are family....the Royals should all make up and become a family again. After all, his father's and brother's hate and/or distain is not very Royal.

With all due respect, you might be responding to some PTSD soul in their younger years and tears while still needing self-inflicted monarchy time & security protection...to grow up! Not so wirh infantile delusional and forever whining victim, Harry-brat...much like horrifyingly dishonest Harry's first primal wound is that he is DNA not Charles's biological son and they are not DNA matched father-son. The second horror is that his paid-for clandestine surrogate children on loan.are neither his or Meghan's. The third horror is that the entire intact royal family ALL know this lack of truthful progeny via DNA...though the Royals have brcome terrified in lock-step monarchy protocol with not revealing this to the world,-paying public. If they were not so fearful of public persona they should announce such findings...which they never will. With this shared, I have come to recognize that there is no present into future relevance for either H/M or the present into very silly expensive and fruitless future Rather now...like they both deserve each other?

In 2020 the Queen,when was alive, she made it very clear to Harry. You are either in or you are out. You are all the way in or you are all the way out all the way in means you have protection all the way out means you don't means you have nothing to do with any sort of protocol unless you are doing something Royal like a funeral , The queen stated that the she was not bigger than the institution and certainly Harry was not either.

Why should he have security when his Aunt and cousins don’t. He made a decision to leave the country and cut ties with the family so NO he isn’t entitled.

Here's the real question; where's all this evidence of "threats"? First he and Megsy said the pap were trying to get them killed, now this? There was no indication, pics or videos of the pap hurting or trying to hurt them. If anything, pap shows up when Megsy's "ppl" call them .. lol
On the current note, Harry has nerve demanding local and/or military police protection (and tax-payer funded to make it worse) when he's not a working royal (plus, where are all these credible threats?). Either he pay for private protection or not come back at all. To make it worse, his comment of, "it'd be nice to reconcile before daddy dies", (while trying to put a guilt trip on the RF) is offensive when HE was the one that started this whole mess .. the lies, the exaggerations, not stopping M when she offended Queen E with that ridiculous curtsy on Netflix .. it's hilarious that Harry thinks he can go on TV & write a book talking about the RF and they're supposed to be there with open arms? Lmao Harry.
Nope. He and Megsy made their beds .. now lie on it.

As soon as he’s broke I look for Markle to dump him, take the kids and what ever he has left. Then his only royalty will be working at Burger King trying to pay alimony and child support. I mean what marketable skills does he really have ? I was a Prince. I don’t think that’ll go to far in America.

Thx !! I really don’t have anything personal against him as I don’t know him or her personally. I’ve just read or watched their antics on TV. But gosh they utterly embarrass the Royal Family not once but multiple times then They Chose to leave and come to the US. So the way I see it their Sorrows are on them !! And by all appearances Meghan was a gold digger from the start. And a trouble maker to boot. She wanted a luxurious life style not realizing that being a member of the RF calls for a large variety of duties. And she didn’t like at all the duty part of it. Had Harry married a more grounded person, a more responsible person all might be well right now. But it’s as much if not more his fault for not vetting her better. She’ll leave him broke and embarrassed and alone in the end.

The media needs to stop giving either of them oxygen.

I may say -Sorry for “ not being” able to speak with your family - losing privileges is hard to admit & accept . Once you grew up - you realize family is everything! Sometimes we don’t realize this till it is to late. Lessons Learned…
Let me say this - Price Harry - you should of reached out long before you danced with your privileged of Security- you lost !
Your family still believes you are capable of running your mouth - please do yourself a favor and sit back - drop a line each week and let them know how sorry you are .
Just keep trying to communicate- it will work out!
Best of Luck

The nerve of H demanding security is beyond hilarious. H&M put themselves in this predicament. The fact that he keeps insisting that the British taxpayers pay for his police and/or gov't security detail (ESPECIALLY when he's not a working member of the RF) shows who H really is.
Makes me wonder, did H always have simmering anger and jealousy towards others? It seems as if M brought out the real H; She amplified his selfishness, complete disregard of family and country, the need to be a star of his own above William (but failed), and jealousy towards others.
H has a sense of self entitlement. He thinks the world owes him something for losing his mother (his anger towards the press and the world in general). Funny thing though, if it serves his purpose, his camera and flash allergies goes away all of a sudden (same with Megsy).
He is so used to being spoiled that now he wants everything given to him without putting the hard work. He's as rotten as Megsy.

I think H&M have Borderline Personality Disorders. This is what they wanted…now don’t like it. They should keep their mouths shut. Counseling is the best help…but she thinks she is special.

Perhaps his father won’t speak with him bc there is no longer any trust. There can be very little to no meaningful relationship, or conversations, without same.
Harry and Meghan have sold out the Royal family, repeatedly, for profit. Why would any meeting going forward be different? I guess he’s reaping what he sowed - karma baby.
Funny thing tho.. I would think if the relationship between his children and his father was as important to him as he says, I would think he’d pick up the tab for private security..
So very unfortunate for everyone, but especially his children.

Harry has brought this all on himself and his family and he’s listening too much to his wife and she’s just made everything so much worse and since she’s making no effort to reconcile with her family, she’s fine with Harry not reconciling with his family.

Harry made a choice when he stepped down as working Royal. Why blame his Royal family now? He should be matured enough to accept the consequences of his decision. He should have not made that choice if he wanted to still be treated like a working royal. He has to earn his privileges especially now that he is an adult. As for his children, they will suffer the consequences of the decision made by their parents- Harry and Meghan. It is not the Royal family to be blamed. Rather, Harry and Meghan, only have themselves to blame for whatever is happening to themselves and their children. Simple as that.
As for reconciliation, he has to put that into action rather saying it in public shows. Words without action is meaningless.

Making comments such as doing two tours of Afghanistan as part of his protection needs, smacks of his triteness when talking about 'unconscious bias', on that basis, every solider and army personnel member who has done two tours is in no less danger, or is he an advocate for separatism, only for the elite as he deems himself to be.

King Charles could come to the US then Harry would find another excuse not to let his father see the children. Markle is behind all of this drama. One day the children will be adults. Let’s see what happens then.

Harry says he can't bring his children to the UK which isn't true. He has private security in the US so he could bring them to see their grandfather if he wanted to. He keeps saying he wants reconciliation, but he keeps talk to the media instead of being quiet. One of the reasons they left was due to the media but it seems the media is fine for them if it benefits them. This is not helping their cause any.

I visit my grandchildren. Can't imagine the heart of a father and grandfather that is so rigid and prideful towards his son and grandchildren. Charles pride will be little comfort on his death bed. The little ones will only know their grandfather couldn't be bothered with them. Shameful but sadly not surprising.

Why is it all on King Charles? Did he write a book? Harry’s poor me stance is pathetic. He married a vulture who pushes jams and flower sprinkles. They can pay for their own security. He stopped being a working royal. Why should tax money be used on them?

Are you aware of the 1st and greatest commandment in the Holy Bible "Love one another as I love you" also "Pray for your enemy" A hard task, isn't it? Stop calling Meghan ugly names. Harry chose Meghan as the love of his life, to grow old with. Please respect their decisions, or did they have to get your approval. Please do not judge. God loves all equally ❤️

Thst's nonsense...King Charles can't order the tax payers of England to pay for his son that no longer is a working royal nor does he even reside in the UK

He pays for private jets
He can pay for security but chooses not to

He can pay for security but not for the police, who are the only ones allowed guns, not to mention the UK intelligence that would help keep him and his family safe. He OFFERED to pay for police protection and was denied. And his family started the trash talking, especially of Meghan, not him. He just set the record straight.

G
Harry can but WON’T bring those children to the u.k. I think one of the main reasons isn’t security…he can afford to pay for that no problem…..but it his excuse wh he can’t. So there has to be other reasons. The number one reason would be that if they are in the U.K they would be actually visible. Not the back of the head. Actually full facial. That would tell its own story. There would be no evidence of meghan contributing to their DNA.
Secondly it would be very hard to stop anyone interested in picking up a sample of say, a drink straw, a glass use by the child to prove who or how that child came to be.

What they didn't allow was for them to carry weapons, guards were fine but no weapons. He could have hired armed policemen.

Actually he cannot hire armed policemen in the UK. Only the police are allowed to carry guns and the police are not for public hire. Otherwise beyoncé could go to the UK and just hire the cops and then Ed Sheeran would hire the police and all kinds of people would hire the police and then there would be no police available to do their jobs. But anything that Harry does for the royal family with the royal family has armed guards because the royal family. As you can see have armed guards because they're the royal family.

I think there’s so many people speculating that he doesn’t need security, and that he could just pay for it in the UK as he does in California, haven’t read about the real issues. He wants government security in UK because that would give him a security team who has access to British intelligence on what terrorists or other looks are threatening him. There’s a few cases that have been made public where he was a target, but of course, the intelligent agencies over there try to keep it all secret. We’ll never know what the threats are, and neither will Harry if he is not granted a team who has access. The other main reason mentioned in many articles is that his private team is not allowed to carry guns. In general people in UK are not allowed to carry guns—not even the average police officer. So knowing these 2 things, makes a lot of the comments here sound wrong. He’s at a great disadvantage in the UK because of this decision. Maybe he’s a little paranoid because of Diana’s death, but wouldn’t you be?

So the question is the company that Harry tried to destroy the Royal institution that he quit moved on with his life and wife. He's running back to that company that he no longer works for and says hey you know that perk that you guys have in that company. Can I happen to just use that perk for me and my kids whenever we feel like it .. and also that benefit where the clients, tax payers pay for it? If it was your company and your kid tries to ruin your company ..the very thing that keeps the lights on .. would you let your kid use the benefits of it at will? Even if you had a choice? What would you do?

It's not a family dispute ..even if you keep trying to make it such. Harrys issue with protection is a job issue ..he doesn't have the job that provides what he WANTS. His job is now a celebrity not a Royal. He quit . The only people in the UK provided this are UK resident citizens that are "working royals" and previous and sitting prime ministers. He does not fall into that category.. and lest we forget he purposely made himself and his wife and his Children targets of the taliban ..who does that? Bragging about killing them. He literally put a big red flag on his head and his children's head and then turned his family and said hey protect me.

I think it’s more basic. The Royal family is mad and Harry is mad. Harry voices his opinions in the media and courts. The family hears all this.
I believe blood is thicker than water. The only way this whole thing gets resolved is when they all have a come to Jesus moment in the same room

In any way you want to look at its a witch-hunt, it's double standard and it is evil what they are doing to Harry they bent on deeming Harry's light because they threatened by his popularity which they have been doing everything to destroy if not how do you explain it that he cannot have the same security as his cousin's who are not working royals who are not based in the UK also?? He also offered to pay for this service which his cousin's under same status are having for free but they wouldn't let him still what does that tell you guys??? They clearly want him and his family to be killed because they can't stand him especially William. His father is not a parent or I believe he is sure a racist and doesn't want his family to contact a virus/get contaminated having Harry's family around their royal family circle. It's a shame

Family should be separated from institutions, Period. His father is treating (torture)him like an employee who quit . While Prince Harry wants to be treated like family. This blending in royal family must change. And Prince William should be careful as well cause if the issue isn’t solved when the king is still alive, it will get worse when he's gone. Same people will turns against him one day.

No negative and make big bucks, laugh it off abd ENJOY his good life and move on. FORGET them. It's a wasted effort. Charles a poop. The step-mom wicked, the brother a turn coat.

H&M left bc Megsy wasn't getting her "way". She thought she could come in, start demanding and everything was gonna be ok. Things started getting rocky (before the wedding) when H told the family that "whatever M wants, M gets", that is, until Queen E told him, "yea, OK, we'll see bout that" 😂

Don’t think you know how badly William and Phillip have treated Harry and Meghan. Not to mention Phillips wife making them all feel unwelcome uncomfortable. Believe Harry is only standing up for his entire family William has been truly mean (that’s nicely put) to Harry has in past beaten him up without cause. No backing from Phillip. As for money none of us know truly what kind of money Harry may or may not have! Plus the Royals have taken it upon themselves to turn most everyone in Britain against Harry for their own purposes! Petty and mean spirited as it is they’ve done this to cut Harry and Meghan out of their lives and the lives of Britain forever! It’s who they are!

I have always been of the opinion that the royal family,, Harry & his family should embrace peace. "Follow peace with all men without which no man will see God" you can only be royalty on earth. It would be so nice to see Father and son reconcile. In a normal family, people quarrel and make up. Too much interference from the watching public should not stop a family. Let forgiveness and healing take place. Harry should not be looked at as a villain. He seems to be the most loving person in that family. Just check out his young family.

How a father, such a prominent figure do this to his son? How does a brother do this to a brother who suffered alongside him when the same evil was done to them. Personally, I have lost ALL respect for them. Everything that Spare says is being proven every day. Harry was so right in his assessments his observations and experiences that he needs not say anything more, they are playing out in public. They will go down as the worst ever in history after all the noise and when pure facts are judged. If they can’t see how they affect their own selves are they even fit to be called king? If anything Harry has a heart of a king far much more than the rest

I feel so sorry for Harry Meghan and their children. This is so sad and most of the world is being forced to feel the same sadness that we felt with Diana’s pain and death . I do not understand the royal family at all. I don’t understand the king and his heir at all. It’s such a pity

With Charles health I would think, regardless of any differences, he would move Heaven and earth to see his son and grandchildren.
Harry has a right to his thoughts, feelings, and the direction of his life, regardless of public opinion.
I wish him and his family all the happiness in whatever path he takes.

I don’t know if there were policies established before Harry left town, but in the U.S. tramp has ignored precedent and removed Secret Service details from people on his enemies list.

Harry has been treated like second class since he was born. Who wants to be a part of a family who favors the eldest child over the others? If it were me I would consider staying in the US far better. Nice weather, they can start businesses, wear whatever they like, and they don’t have the royal household trying to puppet the media and rally hate toward him and his family. I can understand why he would want to keep that connection for his children but I don’t think it’s a connection worth keeping because they will probably receive hate too. I also think it’s very cruel to let the media batter Harry and his wife Meghan repeatedly for years but when his own name is dragged into the news it is addressed immediately. That definitely says a lot.

As for the nose picker, I'm sure she and her kids are doing well off stupid Charles. The Wales couple are wannabes and need to get real. He has only one real kin which is Harry and he needs to make spoiled Kate get along with Meghan instead of letting Kate stir all this up with her fear and jealousy and peeing on her territory.
