Prince Harry's life took a dramatic turn when he married Meghan Markle, the former Suits star, sparking tension within the Royal Family. In 2020, the couple stepped down as senior members, severing ties with royal duties and perks, including high-level security. The rift between Prince Harry and King Charles deepened, leading to a complete breakdown in communication. However, in a recent interview, Prince Harry opened up about his strained relationship with his father, offering insight into their ongoing tensions.

A recent PEOPLE report reveals that King Charles is distancing himself from Prince Harry, fearing involvement in a legal case. Now, Prince Harry breaks his silence, sharing his thoughts on his relationship with his father, King Charles.

In a raw and emotional interview with the BBC, Prince Harry revealed he is currently estranged from King Charles over a security dispute. Prince Harry expressed his desire for reconciliation but said his father refuses to speak to him, stating, "He won't speak to me because of this security stuff." Prince Harry admitted feeling let down and blamed the Royal Household for influencing the decision to reduce his security, calling it a good old-fashioned establishment stitch-up. Despite the rift, Prince Harry clarified he never asked King Charles to intervene, only to step aside and let experts handle the matter.

Prince Harry revealed that every trip to the UK now requires approval from the royal household, a process he has no control over. Prince Harry's representative on the Ravec committee remains tied to the royals, ensuring his interests are prioritized. When discussing his security concerns, Prince Harry warned that using security to control family members could set a dangerous precedent, effectively trapping them in royal obligations and limiting their ability to choose a different life. Amid these ongoing tensions, Prince Harry also expresses concern for King Charles' health, with the King recently sharing a deeply personal update about his cancer battle.
