Prince Harry's actions against the Royal Family branded 'unforgivable' by Duke of Sussex's former friend

The Duke of Sussex expressed his desire for reconciliation with the Royal Family in an emotional interview following his legal defeat over security arrangements in the UK.

The interview came after the Court of Appeal dismissed the prince's case against the UK government regarding security provisions.

Harry took public swipes at senior royals including Princess Kate, Prince William and Queen Camilla in his 2023 autobiography "Spare".

The legal battle has been ongoing for five years, with Harry describing it as "the sticking point" and "the only thing that's left" in the disagreements with his family.

Harry took public swipes at senior royals including Princess Kate, Prince William and Queen Camilla in his 2023 autobiography "Spare".

Since the release of the book the Prince and Princess of Wales have cut contact with Harry.

The Duke acknowledged the lasting impact of his memoir on family relations.

"Of course, some members of my family will never forgive me for writing a book, of course they will never forgive me for lots of things," he said.

Now a former friend of the Duke of Sussex, Ben Goldsmith, has condemned Harry's attacks on the royals.

He told the Mail: "Tragic but true – Prince Harry’s behaviour is unforgivable."
