Prince Harry addresses his decision to leave royal life

Prince Harry, the Duke of Sussex, delivers his first public statement since the announcement that he and Meghan, Duchess of Sussex, will end their royal duties. #CNN #News

the British press wanted her to leave, they didnt imagine that he would leave along with her

[@jelinaangel]

He isn’t a prince for the royals, he’s a prince of the people... just like Diana was. Hopefully they don’t get killed and history repeated itself.

[@sunbehindclouds]

the last time someone tried to leave the royal family was his mother

[@adfmo2195]

He wants an actual life and put his wife and child first. Good for him!

[@lizwhite4127]

He couldn't protect his mom, but he is damn sure going to do everything to protect his wife and child.

I always felt that Harry was more like his mother. And, be assured that she is looking down on him and his family with a big smile.

This is Diana Speaking through him I'm so happy justice for Diana!!!!!!!

"I'm not a prince Hagrid, I'm just Harry"

[@Leza1121]

His mother Diana, Princess of Wales would be so proud of him. 👏👏👏

[@kristitrimble9658]

He served his time. I feel this is a very appropriate choice for him & his family. It has to be dreadful to have to appear & play nice all the while being judged, stalked & harassed. Good for him. Such a great man!

[@rosybirchwood6476]

Get you a man who'll literally leave the throne for you. Take note ladies👀

“I... can’t be... a prince. I’m just Harry. Just Harry.”

[@michaelfan90]

The way people come for his wife and kid, and seeing what happened to his mom, I can't blame him. Not one bit. I hope the best for him and his family.

[@Leonaza7]

He never cared about royalty status..he was born into it..he would never become king anyway..I'm happy for the both of them..go be great as a couple!🥂

[@katk925]

I’m so happy for them. What a great speech. He does remind me so much of his mom, as they said, speaking directly to your heart. I wish them all the best.

[@loved1lost333]

His mother is smiling down at him. May God bless and keep you and your family. Love you!❤️😘😇🙏🏾

[@Tilesandfabrics]

The burden has been lifted. Big decision. Took a great man to make such a decision. God be with you Harry and your family always.

[@judithsmith9582]

I'm sure he will never miss the "duties" that involves being abused by the public.

[@hanajimenez9407]

Honestly people really gotta respect his decision along with his wife, if they decided to leave and do something different then it's on them. But at the end of the day we all gotta remember that family is what comes first not what people think!.

I hope Harry, Megan and Archie have a relaxed life wherever they end up. So sad that it’s come to this, he’s always been my favourite. He is more like his Mum, which is something to be very proud of. Good luck in all you do guys. The UK won’t be the same without you guys here
