Prince Harry said he has “No Regrets” about leaving The Royal Life!
In March 2020, Prince Harry and Meghan stepped away from royal duties. They cited what they described as bullying and racist attitudes toward the duchess, who is biracial.
Buckingham Palace also announced that the couple had finalized their separation from the royal family and will no longer be working members of the British monarchy. While investigating allegations Buckingham Palace announced that the duchess had bullied members of her staff and forced two of them to quit.
Now, they are living in Montecito, California, where their property is worth $15.5 million.
Why did they step back from the royal family?
On Friday’s show, Harry opened up about the reason behind his historic split with the British royal family. He describes the toxic environment in Britain as destroying his mental health.
He explained,
“It was stepping back rather than stepping down. It was a really difficult environment, as I think a lot of people saw. We all know what the British press can be like, and it was destroying my mental health.”
He added,
“I was like ‘This is toxic,’ so I did what any husband, what any father would do. I was like, ‘I need to get my family out of here.’ But we never walked away, and as far as I’m concerned, whatever decisions are made on that side, I will never walk away. I’ll always be contributing, but my life is public service, so wherever I am in the world, it’s gonna be the same thing.”
