Prince Harry is hoping for "a more peaceful life"!
In his speech at the charity dinner, The Duke of Sussex expressed his regret about how things turned out. "The decision that I have made for my wife and I to step back, is not one I made lightly," Prince Harry said.
"It was so many months of talks after so many years of challenges. And I know I haven’t always gotten it right, but as far as this goes, there really was no other option."
He also mentioned that he and his wife were initially hoping to serve the Queen and the commonwealth, but without public funding.
"Unfortunately, that wasn’t possible. I’ve accepted this, knowing that it doesn’t change who I am or how committed I am. But I hope that helps you understand what it had to come to, that I would step my family back from all I have ever known, to take a step forward into what I hope can be a more peaceful life."
