London: Prince Harry wants "reconciliation” with the royal family, he said Friday, but claimed King Charles III refuses to speak to him amid a dispute over his personal protection while in the United Kingdom.

"I would love reconciliation with my family,” Harry told the BBC from California, where he now lives. "There’s no point in continuing to fight anymore. Life is precious. I don’t know how much longer my father has.” Charles was diagnosed with an undisclosed form of cancer last year and is undergoing treatment.

Harry, the Duke of Sussex, spoke after losing an appeal to reinstate his publicly funded police protection. He is the younger of the king’s two sons.

Charles "won’t speak to me because of this security stuff,” he told the public broadcaster, "but it would be nice to reconcile.”

The prince blamed the royal household for influencing the decision over his security status. Buckingham Palace responded with a statement: "All of these issues have been examined repeatedly and meticulously by the courts, with the same conclusion reached on each occasion.”
