However, while the Duke of Sussex recently shared that he would love to reconcile with his family, the expert doesn&#8217;t see this happening any time soon.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \">Former royal editor Duncan Larcombe believes that the young prince is likely having regrets regarding the strained relationship between himself and his father King Charles III and older brother <a class=\"TextLink_text-link__dBSS0 TextLink_enabled__dJF3l\" href=\"https:\/\/www.dailyrecord.co.uk\/all-about\/prince-william\" target=\"_blank\" aria-label=\"Prince WilliamLink opens in a new tab.\" tabindex=\"0\" rel=\"noopener\">Prince William<\/a>, but he does not think there are any signs of this currently improving.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \">After losing his battle with the High Court over the state security entitled to his family, Prince Harry spoke about the current relationship with <a class=\"TextLink_text-link__dBSS0 TextLink_enabled__dJF3l\" href=\"https:\/\/www.dailyrecord.co.uk\/all-about\/king-charles-iii\" target=\"_blank\" aria-label=\"King CharlesLink opens in a new tab.\" tabindex=\"0\" rel=\"noopener\">King Charles<\/a>. He said that his father &#8220;won&#8217;t speak to me because of this security stuff.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/0_William-and-harry.jpg\" alt=\"Prince William and Prince Harry pose in front of a Griffin helicopter during a photocall at RAF Shawbury on June 18, 2009 in Shawbury, England.\" loading=\"lazy\"  \/>Prince William and Prince Harry were said to have a close relationship when they were younger.(Image: Chris Jackson\/Getty Images)<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \">Since speaking out, Duncan &#8211; who is the author of Prince Harry: The Inside Story &#8211; has told <a class=\"TextLink_text-link__dBSS0 TextLink_enabled__dJF3l\" href=\"https:\/\/www.mirror.co.uk\/3am\/celebrity-news\/prince-harrys-one-major-wish-35427480\" target=\"_blank\" aria-label=\"the MirrorLink opens in a new tab.\" tabindex=\"0\" rel=\"noopener\">the Mirror<\/a> that he had no doubt that Harry wishes &#8220;he&#8217;d done things differently&#8221;, but their family ties still seem to be a very long way from being resolved.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \">He said: &#8220;Harry is a sensitive soul and always wore his heart on his sleeve, so whether he\u2019d admit it publicly or not, I\u2019m sure he\u2019s full of regrets and wishes he\u2019d done things differently.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \">&#8220;With Trooping the Colour and Father\u2019s Day falling on the same weekend, it was bound to make him look back at the happy relationships he once had with his brother and dad, and I\u2019m sure he\u2019d love to be able to rebuild those.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \">Last month, the Duke was unable to overturn the decision that denies himself, his <a class=\"TextLink_text-link__dBSS0 TextLink_enabled__dJF3l\" href=\"https:\/\/www.dailyrecord.co.uk\/all-about\/meghan-markle\" target=\"_blank\" aria-label=\"Meghan Markle Link opens in a new tab.\" tabindex=\"0\" rel=\"noopener\">Meghan Markle <\/a>and their two children, Archie and Lilibet, state-funded, high level security when in the UK, which is provided for senior royals.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \">In response to this decision, Harry said that he &#8220;couldn&#8217;t see a world&#8221; where he would be able to take Meghan and his kids back to the UK.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/0_Sussex-family.jpg\" alt=\"Black and white photo of Harry carrying Lilibet on his shoulders and holding Archie's hand in a garden, backs to the camera.\" loading=\"lazy\"  \/>Meghan is worried about the future for her family as security measures denied.(Image: @meghan\/Instagram)<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \">Duncan added: &#8220;By saying he can\u2019t bring them here because of the <a class=\"TextLink_text-link__dBSS0 TextLink_enabled__dJF3l\" href=\"https:\/\/www.dailyrecord.co.uk\/news\/uk-world-news\/prince-harry-loses-legal-battle-35160539\" target=\"_blank\" aria-label=\"court rulingLink opens in a new tab.\" tabindex=\"0\" rel=\"noopener\">court ruling<\/a>, Harry has nailed his colours to the mast.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \">&#8220;Meghan is probably quite reluctant to come to the UK anyway because they\u2019d have to be deaf, dumb and blind not to realise just how much criticism they\u2019ve had for their betrayals and truth bombs. But more importantly, there are real and genuine threats.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \">The expert says that these threats would most likely come from &#8220;lunatics and radical protesters&#8221; who may be wanting to make a name for themselves.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \">Additionally, these threats wouldn&#8217;t only be directed at Harry and Meghan, but also their two children who are aged six and four. He adds that this would make any trip to the UK incredibly difficult without the high level security.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \">&#8220;At big royal events, the security you actually see is the tip of the iceberg. There are a lot of undercover officers and agents working, too.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \">&#8220;Without the official support and security, Harry and Meghan are left with two or three bodyguards who are pretty blind to what the potential threats are,&#8221; says Duncan.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \">While Meghan seems to be thriving back in the US with the launch of her <a class=\"TextLink_text-link__dBSS0 TextLink_enabled__dJF3l\" href=\"https:\/\/www.dailyrecord.co.uk\/entertainment\/meghan-markles-brand-ever-sells-35430732\" target=\"_blank\" aria-label=\"As EverLink opens in a new tab.\" tabindex=\"0\" rel=\"noopener\">As Ever<\/a> lifestyle brand and Netflix series, With Love, Meghan, the mum of two is still hugely worried about her nearest and dearest.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \">A source said: &#8220;In some ways she\u2019s feeling stronger and she wants to share that. But she\u2019s still terrified of putting her kids at risk by coming back to the UK \u2013 any parent would panic if they were in Meghan\u2019s shoes.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \">&#8220;So even though Harry is really feeling the absence of his dad, especially after Trooping the Colour and Father\u2019s Day, the security stuff will probably always be an issue.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \">&#8220;He knows that things could\u2019ve been so different if things had gone another way, but it\u2019s been five years since they left the UK and the chances of them coming back, even for a visit, seem slim to none. It\u2019s heartbreaking.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/0_WACOMMUNITYQR3.jpg\" alt=\"\"  \/>Join the Daily Record WhatsApp community!<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \">Get the latest news sent straight to your messages by joining our WhatsApp community today.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \">You&#8217;ll receive daily updates on breaking news as well as the top headlines across Scotland.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \">No one will be able to see who is signed up and no one can send messages except the Daily Record team.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \">All you have to do is <a class=\"TextLink_text-link__dBSS0 TextLink_enabled__dJF3l\" href=\"https:\/\/chat.whatsapp.com\/BZamc48XMaoEqKkIN7GWxV\" target=\"_self\" aria-label=\"\" tabindex=\"0\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong class=\"Strong_strong__e2x35\">click here if you&#8217;re on mobile<\/strong><\/a>, select &#8216;Join Community&#8217; and you&#8217;re in!<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \">If you&#8217;re on a desktop, simply scan the QR code above with your phone and click &#8216;Join Community&#8217;.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \">We also treat our community members to special offers, promotions, and adverts from us and our partners.
