Royal Absence Sparks Fresh Speculation: Prince Harry’s Revelations Shake the Crown

In a rare face-to-face interview with host James Corden in the U.S., Prince Harry opened up about his decision to step back from the British royal family, reigniting discussions about the “mysteries of the palace” once again. Harry cited the damaging effects of the British media on his mental health as a key factor in his departure.

“We all know what the British press can be like, and it destroyed my mental health. I think that’s a toxic environment. So I did what any husband, any father would do,” Harry shared about his decision to leave, causing shockwaves throughout the British royal family last year.

Currently residing in Los Angeles with his wife, Harry and Meghan have embarked on a new chapter of their lives. Earlier this month, the couple announced a legal victory against the British tabloid, Daily Mail. Meghan had filed a lawsuit in 2019 over the publication’s unauthorized release of contents from a letter she wrote to her father. Meghan stated that she had “won her case” against what she alleged was the “unlawful and inhumane” conduct of the British tabloid.

During the interview, Harry drew comparisons between royal life and “The Crown” – the fictional television series depicting conflicts within the British royal family. While acknowledging inaccuracies, Harry remarked that the series provides insight into the pressures and obligations of royal life, emphasizing the prioritization of public service over family.
