Prince Harry has officially lost the legal battle over whether he ought to get security protection from the United Kingdom. 

Harry, according to ABC News, was "devastated" over the decision.

This, however, might just be the least of Harry and Meghan's problems.

It would appear that, after burning all bridges between himself and his family, he is looking to "reconcile" with the Royals, yet the Royals - including his brother - do not seem interested.

Legal defeat

This legal battle had been going on for a year, when the case was decided this past week.

ABC News reports:

In 2020, the Executive Committee for the Protection of Royalty and Public Figures, known as RAVEC, made a decision that security for the Sussexes would be granted on a case-by-case basis. The committee also rejected Harry's proposal to personally pay for police protection for his family while visiting the U.K. Last year, a London judge ruled the U.K. government had the right to strip Harry, the younger son of King Charles III, of an automatic security detail during visits to Britain.

Harry appealed the matter, but things have not gone his way.

"I concluded, having studied the detail of the extensive documentation, I could not say that the duke’s sense of grievance translated into a legal argument for the challenge to RAVEC’s decision," the judge wrote.

He added, "The duke was in effect stepping in and out of the cohort of protection provided by RAVEC. Outside the U.K., he was outside the cohort, but when in the U.K., his security would be considered as appropriate. It was impossible to say that this reasoning was illogical or inappropriate, indeed it seemed sensible."

"Devastated"

During a recent interview, Harry said that he is "devastated" by the ruling. It was in this same interview that he said that he "would love to reconcile" with his family.

"I would love reconciliation with my family. There’s no point continuing to fight anymore, life is precious," he said.

Whether his family is interested in doing so, after all Harry and his wife did to besmirch the Royal Family, remains unclear.

A Royal expert recently claimed that William has no interest in welcoming Harry back.

The expert told Fox:

The short answer (is) will William forgive Harry and Meghan and welcome them back? A big fat royal no. King Charles will have to overrule his petulant son once again if the Sussexes wish to make up and return.
