PrinceHarry expresses 'great sadness' at royal split

He read from prepared remarks and appeared tense as he sought understanding from a nation that has had a soft spot for him since his childhood - and which now now appeared confused by his decision to leave his royal life behind.

"I know I haven't always gotten it right, but as far as this goes, there really was no other option," Harry said.The couple lost their right to be called"his and her royal highness" - much as Harry's late mother Princess Diana did when she divorced Prince Charles in another family drama that upset the Queen in 1996.

"Even when Edward VIII abdicated he dropped from being His Majesty The King to HRH the Duke of Windsor," he said.Few know what Meghan - a global star with a huge social media following and A-list celebrity friends such as Oprah Winfrey and the Obamas - thinks of the British brouhaha about ancient acronyms.

One of these involved a UK paper that published fragments of a private letter Meghan had sent her estranged father Thomas Markle after her Windsor wedding to Harry in May 2018.
