presenter Mark Barbett halted his regular broadcast to bring some breaking Prince Harry news to viewers after the Duke of Sussex lost his legal case over UK police protection. "Now this evening, Prince Harry has been speaking, after losing his court case today, of the level of security he received when he is in the UK. In an interview with the BBC from his home in California, he has revealed to them that he would love a reconciliation with the royal family. It's been described as an emotional interview. Prince Harry has said his father wouldn't speak to him because of this security stuff, but that he did not want to fight anymore and did not know how long King Charles had left to live. So quite a lot to digest there from Prince Harry," he said.
Viewers were quick to react to the news taking to X to share their thoughts. Many had no sympathy for Harry. "Oh now he wants a reconciliation. Go away another interview spreading his gossip, I thought he wanted privacy?," one wrote. "Harry, if you want a reconciliation with your family, stop your attacks and make a public apology... behave and respect them," another added. "All the lies,that book spare he did was too much for any family to forgive him , Calling the family racists , untrue, Oprah show, And much more. I personally could never forgive him for all of that if he was my son," a third chimed in.
However other's were more sympathetic to Harry's situation with some saying they releated to it.
"My dad hasn't spoken to me for 4 days because I was 3 minutes late when I visited his house. Families are a nightmare Harry... Hang on in there!" on encouraged him.
"Guess kids will always be kids. As parents we must let them be. Soon #Harry will be in his dad's lap," another wrote.
Another viewer simply sympathised with the prince writing: "Poor Harry."
Harry's interview came after he has lost his long-running legal battle with the Home Office over his .
The King's youngest son, 40, sought to challenge the original decision by High Court judge Sir Peter Lane in February last year, which determined that the Executive Committee for the Protection of Royalty and Public Figures (Ravec) was right to remove his high-level police protection while he's in the UK.
But in a ruling on Friday,May 2, Sir Geoffrey Vos, Lord Justice Bean and Lord Justice Edis dismissed Harry's appeal.
Sir Geoffrey Vos summarised the decision and told the court that while the Duke of Sussex's personal arguments were both "powerful and moving", he concluded that: "I could not say that the Duke's sense of grievance translated into a legal argument for the challenge to Ravec's decision."
