Prince Harry’s bombshell interview where he dished out the details of his strained relationship with his father is a ‘sad and sorry saga’, a royal expert has said.

The Duke of Sussex last night launched a blistering attack on King Charles, saying he ‘won’t speak to me’ and that he ‘doesn’t know how much longer he has left’.

He also revealed he will not bring his wife or children back to the UK – and said he had had ‘so many disagreements’ with his family, some of whom ‘may never forgive’ him for writing a book.

Reflecting on Harry’s BBC interview, royal expert Jennie Bond questioned whether the seemingly ‘angry and resentful’ Duke could ever repair his relationship his father.

‘This is a very significant moment in what will be written about by the historians of the future about Harry,’ she told Sky News.

‘He’s bristling with anger, isn’t he, and resentment. And mistrust of the royal household.

She added: ‘And despair over his father’s attitude, I suppose. It’s just such a sad and sorry saga.

‘I had hoped eventually there might be some kind of reconciliation, but clearly, although Harry says he wants reconciliation, he doesn’t see he can do that now.

It came after Harry last night launched a blistering attack on the King, who he complained ‘won’t speak to me’, and claimed to be the victim of an ‘Establishment stitch-up’.

The Duke of Sussex also accused the Royal Household of ‘interfering’ in his long-running battle in His Majesty’s courts to reinstate his police bodyguards.

The comments were part of a scathing interview he gave to the BBC after judges ruled against him yesterday.

Harry vowed he would never bring his children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet, to Britain, adding that family ties are now so strained he does not even know ‘how much longer my father has’ to live.

‘He’s deeply, deeply angered. And I don’t know where he goes from here.’

The duke, who left Britain in 2020 for a life first in Canada and later in California, alleged the Royal Household exploited security ‘to imprison’ members of the Royal Family, blocking them ‘from being able to choose a different life’.

He said: ‘It’s really quite sad that I won’t be able to show my children my homeland.’

In the extraordinary interview, Harry added that he was ‘devastated’ after losing his battle over taxpayer-funded bodyguards – which puts him on the hook for £1.5million in legal costs.

He laughed as he revealed ‘someone had told me beforehand’ there was ‘no way to win’.
