On May 2, 2025, while Princess Charlotte, the daughter of Prince William and Princess Catherine, celebrated her 10th birthday, Prince Harry conducted a bombshell interview with BBC News in California. In the interview, Harry discussed his ongoing security issues and strained relationships with the Royal Family, particularly mentioning that King Charles would not speak to him due to these concerns. He expressed sadness over the family disputes, stating that the security matters had caused rifts among relatives. Harry also emphasized that he would not return to the UK with his wife, Meghan Markle, and their children until security issues were resolved. Buckingham Palace responded to his claims, asserting that the matters had been thoroughly examined by the courts. The timing of Harry's interview, although not intended to overshadow Charlotte's birthday, likely angered some family members who wished to keep the focus on the young princess's celebration.
