Prince Harry claims he’s being ‘singled out’
The BBC later admitted that it mishandled the interview, calling it a lapse in editorial judgment. In a statement, the network acknowledged: “Claims were repeated that the process had been ‘an Establishment stitch-up’ and we failed to properly challenge this and other allegations.”
They also neglected to include the Home Office’s official response. “We are pleased that the court has found in favour of the Government’s position… The UK Government’s protective security system is rigorous and proportionate,” the department said, adding, “All of these issues have been examined repeatedly and meticulously by the courts, with the same conclusion reached on each occasion.”
Still, Harry pressed on. He declared he would never bring Prince Archie or Princess Lilibet back to the UK, saying, “The other side won in keeping me unsafe,” after the nation’s second-highest judge denied his appeal.
He also implied that royal security procedures had been used “to imprison” family members, preventing them “from being able to choose a different life.” This, despite living in a $14 million Montecito mansion and enjoying lucrative deals with Netflix and Spotify.
“It’s really quite sad that I won’t be able to show my children my homeland,” he added.
Royal biographer slams Harry and Meghan
As Harry continued airing his frustrations, royal biographer A.N. Wilson didn’t hold back. “You keep thinking, ‘Meghan and Harry can’t get any worse.’ And then they do,” he told the Daily Mail.
Wilson reflected on how Harry, once a “largely popular, merry prince who served his country in Afghanistan with courage and good humour,” has now become “estranged from the British public.”
“Now, he is a humourless whinger, adrift from his former friends and speaks in the Californian psychobabble that Meghan has picked up among her ghastly Montecito neighbours,” he said. “It cannot continue. The King should strip them of the right to dignify themselves by their royal titles.”
Wilson argued that the Sussexes should lose not only their HRH designations but also their Duke and Duchess of Sussex titles entirely.
“They should become simply Mr and Mrs Windsor,” he said, “Free to sink into their pathetic, unloved, sunlit exile, and the decades of pointless boredom that stretch ahead – a hell entirely of their own making.”
Friday’s court ruling didn’t just mark the end of Harry’s legal effort — it also means he’s now responsible for covering substantial legal fees for both sides. He had previously described the case as one that “mattered the most.”
