Buckingham Palace has responded to Prince Harry's comments about not wanting 'history to repeat itself'.

The Prince has made headlines following a bombshell interview with the BBC on Friday 2 May, where he revealed that his father, King Charles III, no longer speaks to him.

Prince Harry used the interview to speak about the legal battle that took place to have his taxpayer-funded security arrangements in the UK reinstated, which was dismissed by the court.

Since he made the decision to step down as a senior Royal, the security he was entitled to in the country changed, which he said put his family at risk.

Since moving to Canada, and then the US with his wife Meghan Markle, as well as children Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet, he has been vocal about his security status.

He claimed of his downgraded taxpayer-funded protection for his family: "I don't want history to repeat itself."

Harry added: "Through the [court] process, I have discovered that some people want history to repeat itself."

"I’m sure that some people out there, probably most likely the people that wish me harm, consider this a huge win," he said, speaking about the circumstances in which his mother died when he was a 12-year-old child.

Princess Diana was killed in a fatal car crash alongside her partner Dodi Fayed and her driver Henri Paul in the early hours of 31 August, 1997.

Buckingham Palace had responded to Harry's claims with a cold, blunt statement that read: "These issues have been examined meticulously by the courts, with the same conclusion on each occasion."

A source added to the Daily Mail: "It would have been constitutionally improper for His Majesty to intervene while this matter was being considered by the Government and reviewed by the Courts."

As a result of these changes, Prince Harry said he would not bring his family back to the UK, revealing he had 'so many disagreements' with his family as some hadn't forgiving him for writing a book.

He added that he feels 'the other side' in the case won when it came to keeping him 'unsafe' as his efforts to reinstate having police bodyguards in his homeland were rebuked.

As a result of losing the battle, Harry said he was 'devastated' at the result, and he laughed while revealing he wishes that 'someone had told me beforehand' there was virtually 'no way to win'.
