Following his lost appeal, Harry gave a bombshell BBC interview as he hinted that his father had some influence on the decision.
“There is a lot of control and ability in my father’s hands,” he said.
Harry added, “Ultimately, this whole thing could be resolved through him. Not necessarily by intervening, but by stepping aside, allowing the experts [to] do what is necessary.”

Earlier, it was reported that Harry and Charles’ teams held a secret U.K. meeting to discuss a possible resolution, with the Duke’s communications chief, Meredith Maines, in London for routine engagements.
