BREAKING: Prince Harry: 'There was no other option.' Prince Harry has revealed he and Meghan felt they had no other option but to leave the Royal Family behind during a speech for his Sentebale charity. Read more here:

"I've accepted this, knowing that it doesn't change who I am or how committed I am."

"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. Harry began his speech on Sunday by telling those gathered he"can only imagine what you may have heard or perhaps read over the last few weeks".

"We both do everything we can to fly the flag and carry out our roles for this country with pride. Once Meghan and I were married, we were excited, we were hopeful, and we were here to serve."Sky's royal correspondent Rhiannon Mills said:"Yes we've heard statements previously but this is the first time in his words that he's told an audience how he's feeling.

Bored now.

At least no one is talking about Prince Andrew!...

ameliarose_t man it must’ve gotten bad for them

Why would a country choose piersmorgan over such a faithful patriotic young men. British people so odd.

You are an embarrassment pal ! Go and disappear

“There were no other options.” Sounds like you were terminated. So, now you will be a common man eating at Denny’s and Chic-Filet. Of course that sounds way better than the job you had representing “The Queen” and your family.

This is the same media they will gladly pander to in their quest for financial independence. Sadly they’ll learn the hard way.

they have the wrong friends

Best wishes

greta I liked Megan when she was on Deal No Deal! She really knew how to open a case!

He was at a charity for HIV/AIDS and made it about HIMSELF!! No self awareness.

He lives off daddy and she plays him like a fiddle. They deserve each other.

No matter what the Queen’s verdict, He is the Royal Blood, no body can deny or what Royal Title he is deprived of.

What a brave decision, Harry!

JohanBe42015414 - came across this a bit ago - have you see it yet?

It's very obvious especially from his speech today that the Royal family, like some British public did not accept his choice of a wife. There are untold stories of what Harry and Meghan have been through for their love. He took a stand best for him, his wife and kid(s)

There is always an option, it’s called no complain, no explain like the Queen did all her life.

Let them go, how do you have royals so hungry for Hollywood life.

njokingumi Be happy Harry....that’s all that matters. The rests just jibber jabber

Good for Harry. The Royal family is nuts. Hopefully he can enjoy his life now. Not have to deal with the media and all you nut bars

BreakingNewsUK So you go live to add more fuel to this story, I really hope your wife does not disappoint you.

DCTFTW He ll regret it down the road

What a lovely family. Wish them well.

Did he really have to make that event about him and his misery?

Life always has options/choices. You made the wrong ones

Because of widespread disapproval and the British people's plea that the Queen shouldn’t allow them to use the Royal brand or tax money to pay for their security staff, Harry will begin to do drama and appeal to his childhood and mother's memory. Disgusting! 🤮

He could have stayed put

BS... there’s always options.

Some of you are so evil. Wishing hate on others is just going to come back on you. I wish them well, I hope they can live a peaceful life. He is not leaving his family. He is protecting his son and his wife. A lot of people love you Harry and wish you happiness.

Apparently I was wrong about Meghan suffering from borderline personality disorder, she actually suffers from a case of borderline racial disorder.

What a bunch of hooey. They walked out before she got thrown out.

Yes when women go crazy they are outta of control they ruined families sometimes

I still don't understand what the 'challenges' were. Obviously, they were serious enough that there was 'no other option'. Racism against his wife? Anybody?

This harryandmegan saga has revealed the racist underbelly of the royal family and Brits as a whole. That William, the future king and only brother to the long suffering Harry, did not ONCE lend his voice against the blatant racist criticism of Meghan, reeks of complicity to it.

Go back to your home Harry. You will get burned

Ummmm as a non British he is his uncle. I hope he gets the same treatment he and her at garbage . Glad they will make their “own way” yup sure it’s not like being a real person. Money on a silver platter, must be rough.

Just shut up and let us hear HIM It is as annoying as Fox had Tarlov blathering on about the BREXIT vote instead of allowing us to hear live streaming from Brits on Sky

Why are people angry they want to be economically dependent and leave the royals? Why do people even want royalty to be a thing in 2020? Yall want your tax money to be wasted that bad Yall finding ridiculous arguments just to spew racist shit

Keep It Moving Harry

🐀🐀🐀🐀🐀🐀

To leave everything for a woman who everybody knows hates that life and never wanted to be a part of it is disgusting. One very manipulative woman and mentally cunning.

That's what she said.

First of all everyone please remember they chose this path to follow. The Queen did not ask them to do this. May it be what they truly wanted & hoped. But seriously don’t whine about it. Harry & Meghan are in control of you future. Make the most of it

Harry and Meghan, you both brilliant humans👍🏾 you will continue to be brilliant, a title does not change who you are. Be happy and do what’s right for you, no one else’s business. Sending love and peace💓

That's not his voice 😂. Shook me a second

Heartfelt. I sympathize but I also noticed when Harry said he hoped to keep doing the things he liked, military events etc, that's the problem. Can't pick & choose. You have to do events boring to you too, meet & greets in dismal weather. Each cause is important to someone.

greta

She's the Yoko Ono of breaking up the British royal family. I guess before long he'll realize she wasn't worth it.

Real question from someone who doesn’t care about any of this. All I heard about Royal fam before was how most Brits hated giving tax money to them to literally do nothing. Now a member is legit saying they don’t want that money and everyone is pissed. Someone explain.

Hopefully Meghan is taking great care of his testicles and will return them to him intact.

wow..lets pray🙏 he never says those really horrible words ...'I know now how my mother felt'😵😵😵😵😵😵😵

It's your life, Harry. Just do whatever you want.

He is a royal and has been one since born into the family 35 years ago. What he has been raised to do. The missus knew this when she entered into the relationship. He looks worn. I’m sure it was a very difficult decision for him leaving parts of 35 years associated with his gram

They act like to overthrow the monarch. Their situation is totally different from Diana. Diana was more relationship issue with Charles and Camilla. They act to overthrow the Queen.

Harry, as part of the Royal family will always carry the British Flag with him wherever he goes.. That IS his birth right. The Queen's support for him and his vision may in fact open other forms of cooperation and engagements which could ultimately prove useful to the UK..

It's such a poor excuse. He doesn't even believe in what he says himself!!! 'Poor him'

Sounds like she issued him an ULTIMATUM in which he had 'no choice' but to leave so she could have life HER WAY.

Very rich couple leave all responsibilities & duties behind & carry on being a very rich couple! harryandmegan nice 'work' if you can pull it off.

Bye HarryMarkle

There is always a CHOICE, he made his.

greta I would say grandmother the queen will never see The bday again!

Keeping their titles and the Duchy of Cornwall 7 figure allowance, don’t have to do any boring work anymore. Nice choice frankly.

No public thank you to the Prince of Wales for agreeing to carry on supporting his adult son from the Bank of Dad?

I just hope the baby card has not been played to cohere Harry into this

Vancouver, 8 hour time difference, 10 hour flight to London. Same time zone as LA & just a 2-3 hr flight. She’ll have some friends there & knows Canada. He’s leaving his family, friends, charities, patronages & knows few people. He’s really made the effort for his wife & son...

Independence for some but not for others it appears

I hadn’t realised just how many people were privy to the private problems of the royal family One thing I have learnt in life that families are complicated and nobody knows what the dynamics of a particular family are Good luck to them both. Hope it all works out.

Perfect. Now Canada had better not waste social funds on their personal security, pay for it themselves.

Would have been nice 2 hear him speak not you all

Blah, blah, blah... What's the REASON you had to leave, mate? Nothing but riddles here.

greta 'The husband formerly know as Prince.'...I don't know who said it, but they were spot on. Poor guy married a woke racketeer.

Dont u all supposed to be happy now he left, please go and celebrate u achieved something finally.

Considering what Diane went through & what ultimately happened to her, Harry has every right to leave. They tried, but they could only take so much. I applaud him for putting his family first. I hope they don’t have to put up w/ that crap in Canada. The royal family will be fine.

What a poor sheltered weakling used by a calculating operator. He should get rid of her before she gets rid of him.Hopefully he can return to the life he actually loved and his family and never have to have much to do with this shrew.

Love to Prince Harry everywhere you go, love will be there for you. This Universe has plenty of room in its heart for you, wherever you go, that path is already carved your steps are already blessed and love welcomes you, always.

I wish both of them the very best

RyanHillMI The plot thickens.

marciabigg What does his father make of it? And what about Prince Charles?

There was but he chose the easy way out Disrespecting his family

GiselaStuart When it all goes tits up you are welcome back.

greta We don’t care

It is tragic for all of us, when our privacy, human rights, liberties and democracy are not respected anymore. I wish them so much happiness and a long life together, we all take each day as it is in these cruel times of Darwinism existentialism.

What is WRONG with you people!! Does ANYONE think they have the right or capability of judging a relationship from the outside? The man isn’t asking anyone for anything. Leave them alone!!

It’s barely a day since the “deal” was made public and he’s making speeches about it claiming he wants a more “peaceful life”. Please Harry get on a plane, join your wife and son and go have that peaceful life! No more statements and no more speeches.

Could have left his wife. Plenty more fish in the sea...

“ . . . . and Meghan, Archie, & I reject Canada’s offer via ‘justin’ to pay for our “security detail” as we truly wish to live privately and of course Independent’ly as wehave publicly claimed. Thank you all . . . . Harry

This is the same Sky News parading Thomas Markle out to trash gis daughter and her husband.

He doesn't want what happened to his mother to happen to Meghan. Harry does love her.

Hey his choice good luck. Personally think it’s a bad one however we will make them. He will make a fortune. Not so sure about security for them. Hope he stays safe on the outside. Famous, ex royal and ex military is a big target with less protection.

No other option I don’t think so! Everyone is thinking it but no one is saying it..... The better option would have been to get a divorce and not leave your family and country - No one is worth this!

if there was no other option then the increased media interest without the royal rota will be the price you pay...enjoy.

I wish Him & Meghan well in the obscurity they so desperately crave, hidden from the prying eye of the press & public. However his speech just sounds like they wanted their cake & eat it, but the big boss lady said 'na! you aren't getting a slice, see ya! cause Dr Woke is on now'

What this means I suspect is he had no option but to leave because the queen retained his HRH and rightly so so they can't cash in on the royal family therefore cannot work for them either .

He has no option because she's holding the Archie card. Didn't even bring him home to see his grand/great grand parents. Was she afraid they would not be able to take him back to Canada so they left him thousands of miles away with strangers

Effectively confirmation that they have been told it’s all or nothing. Too late to complain. Off you go.

All the best to both of them. The right decision

piersmorgan right now obsessed getagrip dailyfail piers-organ

Good luck Harry and Meghan xx

Can’t we as a nation just respect there decision and move on. Let them just live there life without people judging there decision. If Harry wants a quiet life with his wife and child then leave him to it. This country has Brexit to think about not harry future for god sake.

See ya

It's a charity that he started and continues to support , why the nasty comments ?

You could have grown a pair instead of being a beta

William must be devastated!!

You lot are really milking this story now, come on, find something new to cover.

As if moving to Canada will stop the media attention and give them an quiet life... they will need to move to Mars for that..

I remember a case two years ago of a woman from Bedford going to Prison for abuse of her partner. First woman in UK to do so. Controlling over him. The way she controlled him, separated him from family, friends etc. A child in the mix. Getting the same feeling.

Because......

Rubbish. It has become a constant made up whinge. Harry has lost the plot.

It’s all about the horrible British media. They drove them away. Then it the common paparazzi and the leaks. Then it’s the racists in the UK.

And people should stop thinking they know what is best for this grown man and his family. He is a grown man who wants to live his life. I pray he finds peace wherever he is

Literally couldn’t give less fucks , completely irrelevant .

Why did sky fuck it up by not letting us here his speech?

Harry’s PR machine working overtime !

STFUImTweetn0_o Why is there a Royal Family, anyways?

Probably gonna regret that down the line , it was a naive decision and u cant choose ur partner over ur family cuz ur family is permanent ur partner can leave u in any moment.

It's nothing to do with the press, have people forgotten the crap Kate went through, you just have to get on with it. Life as a prominent Royal is tough. I'm fine if they want to quit, I understand that, it's their choice. I wish them all the best and hope they act decently.

£34 million your wedding cost, you going to refund it?

Wanted privacy Speaks at PRIVATE DINNER Posts it on their Instagram 🙄🙄🙄

No es su culpa es la presión de Markle. Por qué esa cara tan triste? No está feliz. Siempre serás Principe Harry

Oh look! No one stole your Prince. It was not a coupe created by an enemy state to dismantle the monarchy & rush the Tower of London to steal the crown jewels! (That is the way you have been behaving.) He chose to leave and live his own life. Leave the Duke and Duchess alone!

Brilliant escape from that feking awful dysfunctional family one horror story after another run and don’t look back if only you knew half of it

Good luck to you both HarryandMeghan MSM build you up then shoot you down! One life, be happy ❤️

Getting out the country before it’s confirmed that James Hewitt is his biological father

Now that Archie is in Canada what if he becomes a hockey player and eventually plays for the L.A. Kings?

You don’t just give up after two years. Ppl went against her coz she started becoming all secretive. She wouldn’t even show the picture of Archie when he was born.

Who gives a shite

Anyone else not care and sick of hearing about it?

Who gives a shit lol

Of course there was. At least 2. 1. Having married a different girl. And 2. Divorce.
