Harry was quoted saying that he has accepted this, knowing that it doesn't change him or his commitment,  but hoped that it helped others understand what it had come to, to step back from his family and all he has ever known, in order to take a step forward to a hopefully more peaceful life."

He asserted that it was a great honour to serve his country and the Queen.

"I will always have the utmost respect for my grandmother, my commander in chief, and I am incredibly grateful to her and the rest of my family for the support they have shown Meghan and I over the last few months," said Harry.
