Prince Harry has given a bombshell interview after sensationally losing his over his security arrangements in the UK.

The has shared his hopes of a 'reconciliation' with the rest of the as he claimed his father, , "refuses" to speak with him. The ruling handed down earlier this afternoon is a huge blow for Harry, who previously argued he wanted his children, , five, and , three, to know their UK heritage.

But says he cannot bring them or to his beloved home country as he does not feel it is safe for them without taxpayer-funded police protection.

At a two-day hearing in April, barristers for the duke told the Court of Appeal that he was "singled out" for "inferior treatment" and that his safety, security and life are "at stake". However Sir Geoffrey Vos, Lord Justice Bean and Lord Justice Edis dismissed Harry’s appeal.

Speaking tonight with the , he said: "I can't see a in which I would be bringing my wife and children back to the UK at this point. The things they're going to miss, well, that's everything.

"I love my country, I always have done. Despite what some people in that country have done. I miss the UK, of course I do." He added: "I think that's really quite sad that I won't be able to show my children my homeland."

Speaking about the breakdown in his relationship with his father, Harry claimed: "He won’t speak to me because of this security stuff.” The Duke said he did not ask his father to intervene in his battle over his security arrangements in the UK. He continued: “I’ve never asked him to intervene.

"I’ve asked him to step out. I step out of the way and let the experts do their job. The Ravec committee is an expert committee full of professionals plus the royals.” He added: “Five years later, every single visit that I do back to the UK has to go through the royal household.

"My representative on the Ravec committee still to this day is the royal household. That’s not a decision that I choose. I am forced to go through the royal household and accept that they are putting my best interests forward during these conversations and deliberations.

“So no, I haven’t asked my father to intervene.” At a two-day hearing in April, barristers for the duke told the Court of Appeal that he was "singled out" for "inferior treatment" and that his safety, security and life are "at stake".

When asked by the BBC what about his current security arrangements made him feel unsafe, the Duke of Sussex replied: “Everything.” He continued: “I would not have taken this this far if I did not have compelling evidence of facts that reveal why the decision was made and I am sitting here today talking to you, where we have lost the appeal, but the other side have won in keeping me unsafe, so again there is a lot of question marks that a lot of people will have.

“I have all of the truth, I have all of the knowledge now, throughout the legal process. I have uncovered my worst fears, and to now know today based on this judgment that there was no legal framework that constrains the decisions of this body Ravec, on which the royal household sit on, and I didn’t know that until this legal process in 2021.

"One of the first things my lawyer said to me as disclosure started, as this process started, was ‘did you know that the royal household sat on Ravec?’, and my jaw hit the floor.” Sir Geoffrey said that arguments put forward by Harry's barrister, Shaheed Fatima KC, were "powerful and moving" and that it was "plain that the Duke of Sussex felt badly treated by the system".

But he said: "I concluded, having studied the detail of the extensive documentation, I could not say that the duke’s sense of grievance translated into a legal argument for the challenge to Ravec’s decision." He continued: "The duke was in effect stepping in and out of the cohort of protection provided by Ravec. Outside the UK, he was outside the cohort, but when in the UK, his security would be considered as appropriate."

He added: "It was impossible to say that this reasoning was illogical or inappropriate, indeed it seemed sensible." Sir Geoffrey also said Ravec’s decision was “understandable and perhaps predictable”. Harry was not present at Friday’s short hearing.

The Home Office, which is legally responsible for Ravec's decisions, opposed the appeal, with its lawyers previously telling the court that Ravec's decision was taken in a "unique set of circumstances" and that there was "no proper basis" for challenging it.

A Home Office spokesperson said: "We are pleased that the court has found in favour of the Government’s position in this case. The UK Government’s protective security system is rigorous and proportionate. It is our long-standing policy not to provide detailed information on those arrangements, as doing so could compromise their integrity and affect individuals’ security."
