Prince Harry Explains His Decision to Step Back: ‘There Was No Other Option’

At a dinner for supporters of Sentebale, a charity Harry co-founded for children affected by HIV/AIDS in Lesotho, Botswana, and Malawi, the Duke of Sussex addressed the departure, saying “there was no other option.” Still, he emphasized, “We aren’t walking away.”“Before I begin, I must say that I can only imagine what you may have heard — or perhaps read — over the past few weeks.

What I want to make clear is, we’re not walking away, and we certainly aren’t walking away from you. Our hope was to continue serving the Queen, the Commonwealth, and my military associations, but without public funding. Unfortunately, that wasn’t possible.

Circumstances of birth are not destiny. Choice is life.
