Prince Harry wants to reconcile with royal family, BBC reports
(NewsNation) — Prince Harry has said he 'would love a reconciliation' with the royal family during an interview with the BBC.
Harry told the BBC that King Charles 'won't speak to me because of this security stuff,' but he doesn't want to fight with the family anymore. He also said he doesn't know how long Charles has left.
After Harry lost his appeal to restore his UK government-funded security detail, he spoke with the BBC. Harry told the news outlet, 'I can't see a world in which I would bring my wife and children back to the UK at this point.'

The prince wanted to overturn the 2020 changes to his security detail when he stepped down from working as a royal. He told the BBC that this decision to remove his security detail always has an impact on him, and he feels as though he can't safely return to the UK.
'Everybody knew that they were putting us at risk… they hoped that me knowing that risk would force us to come back. But then, when you realize that didn't work, do you not want to keep us safe?' Harry said.
The BBC asked Harry if he had talked to Charles about intervening in the dispute, and he said, 'I never asked him to intervene. I asked him to step out of the way and let the experts do their jobs.'
One insider told NewsNation's Paula Froelich that Charles is 'very upset over Harry's insistence on fighting the government for police protection. He feels Harry knew what he signed up for when he and Meghan left the monarchy, but Harry, being Harry, just can't accept it.'
Harry reportedly said that his defeat in court was a 'good old-fashioned establishment stitch-up.' The BBC reported that he blamed the Royal Household for having influence over the decision on his security detail. He also said the treatment he faced during this process 'uncovered my worst fears.'
Overall, Harry explained that he is devastated about the decision. 'Not so much as devastated with the loss that I am about the people behind the decision, feeling as though this is OK. Is it a win for them? I'm sure there are some people out there… (who) consider this a huge win.'
Despite his loss, Harry reportedly spoke with the BBC about how much he misses his family and how he has forgiven them.

'There have been so many disagreements between myself and some of my family… I would love reconciliation with my family. There's no point continuing to fight anymore. Life is precious.'
He also said he misses his home country, telling the BBC, 'I love my country… and I think that it's really quite sad that I won't be able to show my children my homeland.'

Home Office plans to spend £2.2bn of foreign aid on asylum support this year
The Home Office plans to spend about £2.2 billion of foreign aid to support asylum seekers this financial year, according to new figures. The amount of overseas development assistance (ODA) budgeted by the Home Office – which is largely used to cover accommodation costs such as hotels for asylum seekers – is slightly less than the £2.3 billion it spent in 2024/25. International rules allow countries to count first-year costs of supporting refugees as overseas development assistance (ODA). The figures, first reported by the BBC, were published in recent days on the Home Office website. The Home Office said it is 'urgently taking action to restore order and reduce costs' which will cut the amount spent to support asylum seekers and refugees in the UK. It also said it was expected to have saved £500 million in asylum support costs in the last financial year, and that this had saved £200 million in ODA which had been passed back to the Treasury. A total of 32,345 asylum seekers were being housed temporarily in UK hotels at the end of March this year. This figure is down 15% from the end of December, when the total was 38,079, and 6% lower than the 34,530 at the same point a year earlier. Asylum seekers and their families are housed in temporary accommodation if they are waiting for the outcome of a claim or an appeal and have been assessed as not being able to support themselves independently. They are housed in hotels if there is not enough space in accommodation provided by local authorities or other organisations. Labour has previously said it is 'committed to end the use of asylum hotels over time', adding that under the previous Conservative government at one stage 'more than 400 hotels were in use and almost £9 million per day was being spent'. Jo White, chairwoman of the Red Wall group of Labour MPs, told BBC Radio 4's Today programme on Saturday: 'We need to be looking at things like ECHR article eight. I don't think anything's off the table … including looking at new options such as processing abroad. 'So, we have to be open to see how we can move move that backlog as quickly as possible. I'm getting impatient. 'I know my colleagues in parliament are getting impatient and we're pressing the Government as hard as we can on this.' A Home Office spokesperson said: 'We inherited an asylum system under exceptional pressure and are urgently taking action to restore order and reduce costs. 'This will ultimately reduce the amount of official development assistance spent to support asylum seekers and refugees in the UK. 'We are immediately speeding up decisions and increasing returns so that we can end the use of hotels and save the taxpayer £4 billion by 2026. 'The Rwanda scheme also wasted £700 million to remove just four volunteers – instead, we have surged removals to nearly 30,000 since the election, are giving law enforcement new counter-terror style powers, and increasing intelligence sharing through our Border Security Command to tackle the heart of the issue, vile people-smuggling gangs.'

BBC cancels Nadiya Hussain's cooking show
Nadiya Hussain's cooking show has not been renewed by the BBC. The 40-year-old TV chef - who first found fame on 'The Great British Bake Off' back in 2015 - has taken to social media to announce that the BBC has decided not to renew any of her cooking shows. Nadiya said in an Instagram video: "The BBC have decided that they didn't want to commission a show. And for me, that was a huge turning point because it's something I've done for the past ten years. "I was already on this steady trajectory of change and I was thinking about where I wanted my career to go, and when the BBC decided they didn't want to commission the show anymore, it really did kind of solidify everything for me, and it made me dig my heels in and think 'OK, I know where I want to be.'" Nadiya is feeling excited and optimistic about her future in the TV industry. The chef also explained that she wants to have more "ownership" over her work moving forwards. She said: "It's been interesting because there have been lots of changes in my career, that I'm really excited about, I'm excited about taking back a bit of ownership of what I do, how I do it and who I work with, and that's given me a freedom I haven't had in the last ten years." Nadiya has hosted several cooking shows on the BBC - including 'Nadiya Bakes', 'Nadiya's Fast Flavours' and 'Nadiya's Simple Spices' - since winning 'Bake Off' back in 2015, while she has also become a regular contributor on 'The One Show'. The BBC has confirmed that it hopes to continue working with Nadiya moving forwards. A spokesperson for the broadcaster said: "After several wonderful series we have made the difficult decision not to commission another cookery show with Nadiya Hussain at the moment. "Nadiya remains a much-valued part of the BBC family, and we look forward to working together on future projects."
