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.'

Rounds says Trump notified congressional leaders of strikes ‘well within' 48-hour window
Sen. Mike Rounds (R-S.D.) said on Sunday that President Trump notified Congress of the strikes on Iranian nuclear sites 'well within' the 48-hour window defined by the War Powers Resolution. In an interview on NewsNation's 'The Hill Sunday,' Rounds pushed back against critics who say the president acted outside his constitutional authority by ordering strikes on three Iranian nuclear sites, including Fordow. 'The Constitution clearly gives the President the authority to act on our nation's behalf,' Rounds said. 'Second of all, the War Powers Act, which is in place, was responded to appropriately. They were supposed to notify congressional leaders within 48 hours. They were well within that range of notifying them of the actions [that] were taken, so the law has been complied with. The Constitution is being complied with,' Rounds continued. Rounds said the Constitution was acting just as 'the founders wanted it to work.' 'The president is the chief. The commander in chief has the responsibility. Our Founding Fathers were brilliant in the way they wrote the Constitution. They understood that Congress takes a long time to act. They also understood that in times in military conflict or in times of great danger or emergencies that the president needed the authority to be able to respond quickly and effectively and decisively,' he said. 'This president did just exactly that. It is working the way the founders wanted it to work in the first place,' Rounds added. Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth said on Sunday that congressional leaders were informed of the strikes after 'the planes were safely out' of Iranian airspace, adding that the administration's actions 'complied with the notification requirements of the War Powers Act.' Some reports have indicated that Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) and Senate Majority Leader John Thune (R-S.D.) were briefed about the strikes. But House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-N.Y.) has criticized the administration for not seeking congressional approval and has called for Congress to be 'fully and immediately briefed' on the strikes in a classified setting, in a statement shortly after the attacks.

Threat of sleeper cells in US has ‘never been higher': CBP
The threat of sleeper cells in the U.S. has 'never been higher,' though there are no current specific threats, according to U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP). A memo sent Saturday from CBP Commissioner Rodney Scott, obtained by The Hill's sister network NewsNation, said 'thousands of Iranian nationals have been documented entering the United States illegally and countless more were likely in the known and unknown got-a-ways.' 'Though we have not received any specific credible threats to share with you all currently, the threat of sleeper cells or sympathizers acting on their own, or at the behest of Iran has never been higher,' Scott added. The memo urged CPB personnel to remain 'vigilant.' On Saturday, Trump announced that the U.S. had bombed three Iranian nuclear sites, stepping into an ongoing conflict between Iran and Israel. Iran's ambassador to the United Nations slammed the U.S.'s involvement in its conflict against Israel and said his nation's military would figure out its response following Trump's ordering of the bombing of the nuclear sites. NewsNation correspondent Rich McHugh said Friday on the network that 'experts that we've talked to said that should the U.S. join these strikes against Iran, they may try to activate these sleeper cells in the U.S. and the West.' On Sunday, retired Gen. Frank McKenzie, the former commander of U.S. Central Command (Centcom), said that he believed U.S. troops in Iraq and Syria were 'certainly vulnerable' to retaliatory attacks by Iran.
