Prince Harry faces public anger for sparking speculation surrounding His Majesty’s health after saying he didn’t ‘know how much longer’ his 76-year-old father, King Charles, has left to live.
Prince Harry, 40, said in a shocking interview with the BBC that he wanted to reconcile with the royals, while alleging his father, the monarch, was not currently speaking to him.
‘There have been so many disagreements between myself and some of my family,’ he said: ‘Of course, they will never forgive me for lots of things but… there’s no point in continuing to fight anymore.’
He continued: ‘Life is precious. I don’t know how much longer my father has, he won’t speak to me because of this security stuff. It would be nice to reconcile.’
What Happened to King Charles?
It comes after the King recently opened up in a message to fellow cancer sufferers as he invited them to Buckingham Palace to recognise the incredible work of community-based cancer organisations.
His Majesty, who is still undergoing regular treatments as someone ‘living with cancer’, previously described the moment of being informed of having the disease as ‘daunting and ‘frightening’.
Former press secretary to the late Queen, Alisa Anderson has since branded Harry’s comments about the King’s health ‘unhelpful’ amid continued treatment for an unspecified cancer.
Just few days ago, Prince Harry lost his legal challenge over his UK security arrangements at the Court of Appeal. The Duke could potentially appeal the decision, which would then put it in the hands of the Supreme Court.
