[MC]Ronin[MC] Posted January 20, 2020 Share Posted January 20, 2020 The Queen's decision saddened Prince Harry a lot "I will always have the utmost respect for my grandmother, my commander-in-chief," the Prince added. Prince Harry is saddened by the way he should relinquish his royal privileges. He expressed "great sadness" on Sunday the way he and his wife, Megan, should relinquish their royal titles as part of a split with the Queen. "It saddens me that I came to that," Prince Harry said in his first comments on Saturday's historic deal. "Our hope was to continue to serve the Queen, the people and my military organizations, but without public funding. Unfortunately, this was not possible," said the Prince. The deal deprives Harry and Megan of public funding and will have to repay 2.4 million pounds ($ 3.1 million) of taxpayers' money spent on renovating their estate near Windsor Castle. Harry was also forced to relinquish the military titles he was awarded after serving twice in Afghanistan with the British Army. The prince, however, said he felt "utmost respect" for Queen Elizabeth II. "It was a privilege for us to serve you and we will continue to serve you," he said. "I will always have the utmost respect for my grandmother, my commander-in-chief. I am incredibly grateful to her and the rest of the family for the support they have given to Megan and me over the past few months." He and Megan will spend some time in Canada before deciding whether to move to the US or another country. "Thank you for giving me the courage to take this next step," added Prince Harry.
