Irreconcilable? A father and son who might never meet again
The Observer
|May 04, 2025
A weary monarch and an angry prince may have boxed themselves into a position that will prove impossible to change, reports
The king will put his role as head of state above any feelings he has as a father in his dealings with Prince Harry after his latest confessional interview, sources have said.
Harry's complaints in a BBC interview and a later statement this weekend have raised questions for the government and the royal family.
But the Duke of Sussex, 40, is expected to remain an outcast while he continues to challenge the refusal by the Home Office's Royal and VIP Executive Committee (Ravec) to grant him and his family a right to armed police protection when in the UK. He has complained that his father refuses to speak to him or take his calls.
