Much of the Royal Family's work involves supporting Commonwealth initiatives through attending events in the UK, taking on roles as patrons and travelling more widely in the Commonwealth to see the work of some extraordinary projects in action. pic.twitter.com/KUhEf7SENe“Our hope was to continue serving the queen, the Commonwealth and my military associations without public funding. Sadly that wasn’t possible,” the prince, sixth-in-line to the throne, said in January.
However, Harry, who served in the army for 10 years, has never hidden his discomfort with his royal role and the attention of the media. He has spoken candidly about his mental health struggles following his mother’s death.
