Earlier this month, Harry was dealt a defeat in a yearslong court battle for security protection in the U.K.

In an interview after the ruling, Harry told the BBC that he no longer speaks to his father Charles because of the the legal battle over security protection.

Harry added that he would "love reconciliation" with his family, but said the ongoing security issue is "100%" the last step in repairing his relations with his family.

"I thought with all the disagreements and all of the chaos that's happening, the one thing that I could rely on is my family keeping me safe," he said at the time. "And not only did they decide to remove my security in the U.K., but they also signaled to every single government around the world not to protect us."

In response to Harry's interview with the BBC, a Buckingham Palace spokesperson told ABC News, "All of these issues have been examined repeatedly and meticulously by the courts, with the same conclusion reached on each occasion."
