Prince Harry's renewed battle with the government over his need for taxpayer-funded security could risk derailing the chance of a reconciliation with the King. On Friday, the Duke of Sussex, 41, asked the Home Secretary for increased security but his new plea 'complicates things for the King,' a royal source told The Times. It followed his pleas for reconciliation with his family after losing his legal battle with the government in May. A royal source added: 'The King cannot and will not lobby, that's inappropriate. Despite moving to the US and stepping back from royal public engagements, Harry said the decision to revoke his security was 'difficult to swallow'.
