A royal expert has said that Prince Harrylooks to have made a big mistake during his recent interview with the BBC. The King's second son sat down and spoke about his father's health and their relationship after losing a court ruling over his security arrangements while in the UK.

The Duke of Sussex claimed King Charles III won't speak to him, and that he could not envision a world where he would bring his children to the UK. In one section of the interview that has sparked a backlash, he said: "Life is precious. I don’t know how much longer my father has, he, he won’t speak to me because of this security stuff, but it would be nice to reconcile." BBC former royal correspondent Jennie Bond told The Mirror it seemed Harry had given the interview in a particular mood that may not have meant he was in the best of headspaces. She said: "I suspect that Harry said more than he had perhaps intended because he was consumed with anger that the court decision had gone against him.

"When the court ruling didn't go his way, he was, in his own words 'gutted and devastated'. And he was clearly seething with fury. And that is rarely the best time to air your thoughts.

"I think he might now realise that he went too far in talking about his father’s health. That was a clear invasion of the privacy that Harry himself so covets. And he might also realise that he has, in my opinion, now lost the support of the vast majority of the British public."

She added: "I do understand Harry‘s feeling that he has been singled out for special treatment. I get that it seems illogical that others, former Prime Ministers, for example, who have left public office, still get police protection.

"But, as the Palace has stated, the decision by the Ravec committee has been tested in court several times, and it has come up with the same conclusion on each occasion.

"Moreover, other members of his family – apart from the King, Queen and William and his family – do not get the level of protection that Harry appears to be demanding. And it’s not as if he has been told there will be no protection. It’s just that it will be assessed case by case."

Ms Bond then described how the Royal Family displayed admirable qualities when celebrating the 80th anniversary of VE Day.

She said: "Despite their disappointment – and anger – over Harry’s interview, the Royal Family did what they do best at the VE Day commemorations. They carried on regardless, with grace and dignity, rising above the furore over the rift.

"We saw a family which, without Harry, is very much in harmony, working together and with the three children beginning to learn the ropes of royal duties. Therein lies the continuity of monarchy, with or without the errant brother."
