The high price of FREEDOM

Five years after Megxit, can the prodigal prince ever return?

Harry recently confessed he hasn't spoken to his father for a long time. 'I would love reconciliation with my family,' he told the BBC after losing his dispute with the government over downgraded security since stepping back as a working royal. 'Life is precious. I don't know how much longer my father has. He won't speak to me because of this security stuff, but it would be nice to reconcile.'

Without increased security when he's in Britain, Harry claims it's unlikely he'll be able to bring his American-based family back to his home nation any time soon. 'I love my country, I always have done, despite what some people in that country have done... and I think that it's really quite sad that I won't be able to show my children my homeland,' he told BBC reporter Nada Tawfik.

Yet, instead of healing the rift, Harry's latest comments only served to convince Charles and William that Harry could no longer be trusted not to disclose the details of private conversations.

The last time William and Harry were seen together was meeting crowds following the death of Queen Elizabeth II in September 2022. It's believed Charles has only met his granddaughter Lilibet once, at the Platinum Jubilee earlier that year; and Lilibet, four, and Archie, six, are growing up not knowing their cousins George, 12, Charlotte, 10, and Louis, seven.
