Prince Harry’s recent BBC interview after his court loss shocked Palace insiders, deepening rifts with the royal family.

Prince Harry’s recent BBC interview has stirred significant reaction within the royal family following his court loss regarding security arrangements.

Sources indicate that Palace insiders are “horrified” by Harry’s comments, particularly his remarks about King Charles, who is currently facing health challenges. Harry expressed a desire for reconciliation, stating, “I would love reconciliation with my family.” However, many believe his comments have deepened the rift instead.

The Palace’s concerns are heightened as insiders suggested that Harry’s openness threatens the confidentiality of royal matters. There are fears that his public statements validate mistrust among family members, particularly regarding private issues.

Harry claimed that his father “won’t speak to me” and alleged that the royal household has used security concerns to control family members’ choices. This led to a rare Palace statement addressing the court’s repeated conclusions on the security issue.

Royal sources remarked that Harry’s approach contradicts his stated wish for family unity, raising further concerns within the monarchy. One source remarked that the late Queen would have been “truly horrified” by the interview.

In contrast to Harry’s interview, Meghan Markle publicly supported him, sharing a family photo shortly after the broadcast. The royal family aims to stay focused on upcoming VE Day 80th anniversary celebrations, wanting no distractions during this commemorative period.
