This choice also extended to his children. During an interview with the Mail on Sunday in 2017, Prince Harry openly admitted that he had once desired to distance himself from the royal family due to a lifelong aspiration.
He expressed his determination to lead a relatively ordinary life and expressed his hope that, if fortunate enough to have children, they too could experience such a life.
As reported by The Mirror, Prince Harry shared, "There was a time when I wanted to step away, but then I decided to stay and find a role for myself."
He further revealed that his continued commitment to Queen Elizabeth II was the primary reason for his prolonged stay in the institution. Prince Harry eventually married Meghan Markle in 2018, and in 2020, the couple made the decision to step down from their roles as senior royals.
Together, Meghan and Harry have two children: Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet.
