In an emotional interview with the BBC, Harry said his father, King Charles, would not speak to him "because of the security stuff" but said he wanted reconciliation as life was "precious" and he did not know how long his father had to live. The king has been diagnosed with cancer.

Speaking in California, where he lives, the prince, 40, said: "For the time being, it's impossible for me to take my family back to the UK safely."

He added: "I can't see a world in which I would be bringing my wife and children back to the UK at this point, and the things that they're going to miss, is, well, everything. I love my country, I always have done despite what some people in that country have done."
