What Prince Harry actually got right in his BBC interview, according to royal insider

Prince Harry’s emotional BBC interview following the loss of his legal battle over UK security has divided opinion, but a royal expert believes he actually made some “very good points.” 

Afua Hagan, Royal Contributor for CTV News, said that Harry’s frustrations over security and family matters are deeply intertwined and cannot be separated.

Speaking to True Royalty TV, Hagan explained: "I don't think he can separate the issues with his family from the issues of security, because it's all tied up. It is all the same thing." 

"The reason why he is in the position he is now is because of the family, because he feels that they are instrumental in taking away that security from his nuclear family, from his immediate family."

While Hagan admitted that “maybe he didn't deliver it in the best way,” she maintained that Harry “made some very, very good points” during the interview.

Despite Harry’s powerful testimony, the Court of Appeal, led by Sir Geoffrey Vos, Lord Justice Bean, and Lord Justice Edis, dismissed his challenge. 

Vos said that while Harry’s arguments were “powerful and moving," they did not translate into a successful legal challenge.

In response, 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."

What did Prince Harry say in his BBC interview? 

In his bombshell sit-down with the BBC, Prince Harry expressed concerns for his family's safety after losing his court appeal to restore taxpayer-funded security.

He said: "I don’t want history to repeat itself, from the disclosure process I’ve discovered that some people want history to repeat itself, which is pretty dark."

Harry also shared that his father, King Charles, "won’t speak to me because of this security stuff," but emphasized his wish for reconciliation given his father’s ongoing battle with cancer.

Meanwhile, Buckingham Palace kept their response brief, saying: "All of these issues have been examined repeatedly and meticulously by the courts, with the same conclusion reached on each occasion."
