Prince Harry once made a poignant confession just a few years before he stepped down as a senior working royal, it has been claimed.
The Duke of Sussex officially stopped working as a senior royal in 2020, two years after he married his wife, Meghan Markle. The couple then moved to the US, where they have settled.
But five years prior to that, the duke was fulfilling his royal duties in New Zealand, shortly after his niece, Princess Charlotte, was born.
Harry spoke to Sky News’s royal correspondent, Rhiannon Mills, and allegedly said that he’d “love to get away” but he couldn’t do so for one reason.
Speaking to the Sun, Ms Mills said: “I said to him ‘have you ever thought about moving away?’
“He was like ‘yes, I’d love to. I’d love to move away. But I can’t because of what I need to do to support the Queen.’
“That has just stuck with me forever in terms of, he didn’t say it on camera, he just said it in a really candid chat with me.”
She added: “So whenever anyone says to me, that it was Meghan’s fault they left, that conversation always springs to mind because he always had it in him – this potential to jump.
“I think Meghan came along and said, ‘hold my hand and we’ll jump together.'”
Elsewhere, the royal commentator said that Harry revealed his wish to have his own children.
She said: “Within the interview, I did sort of ask him whatever I wanted to ask him. And I said, Princess Charlotte’s just been born, would you like to have kids?
“He came out with this brilliant line, ‘I’d love to have kids right now, but there’s a process that you have to go through’, to which his communications team took a bit of an intake of breath, like ‘oh my goodness, why did he say that?'”
