Oh, Harry! WHAT HAVE YOU DONE?

In 30 brutal minutes with the BBC cameras rolling, you practically ensured that your father will never speak to you again, writes Emily Andrews

- 

With the security court case over - which, as I revealed in Woman, was the reason the King was not speaking to his second son - there was some prospect that fragile family relations could be healed.

With the Duke of Sussex suing the King's government, and in the King's courts, about the removal of his taxpayer-funded security, there was no way Charles could safely (either constitutionally or from a personal perspective) talk to his son.

After all, it's not as if Harry hadn't spilt family secrets everywhere from Oprah to Netflix to his tell-all autobiography Spare.

But what Harry did after the Court of Appeal rejected his case felt like the final torpedo in his well-used arsenal. Arguably the final betrayal.

Speaking to the BBC in a Californian hotel, he - in my opinion - practically blamed his dad for the decision to remove his UK police bodyguards and claimed that the King has the power to reinstate his police protection (note to Harry: no he doesn't, it's up to a special Home Office committee).

He said, 'There is a lot of power and control in my father's hands. Ultimately, this whole thing could be resolved through him.

'Not necessarily by intervening but by stepping aside, allowing the experts to do what is necessary.'

Conspiracy theory?

And in a bizarre move, he accused those who have decided not to give him what he wants (does that include your dad, Harry?) of conspiring against him and wanting him dead.
