Prince Harry clarified he ‘stepped back’ from royal life as it was ‘destroying mental health’
On Thursday, Prince Harry appeared on The Late Late Show with James Corden and discussed the reasons for leaving the Royal life behind.
While talking about leaving the Royal life, the 36-year-old said, “It was never walking away, it was stepping back rather than stepping down”.
He went on, “It was a really difficult environment as I think a lot of people saw. We all know what the British press can be like. It was destroying my mental health”.
He added, “This is toxic, so I did what any husband and what any father would do which is 'I need to get my family out of here' but we never walked away”.
The Prince further clarified, “Whatever decisions are made on that side I will never walk away. I'll always be contributing. My life is public service so wherever I am in the world it's going to be the same thing”.
