"It has been our privilege to serve you, and we will continue to lead a life of service," Harry said. "It has also been a privilege to meet so many of you, and to feel your excitement for our son Archie, who saw snow for the first time the other day and thought it was bloody brilliant!”

Archie was born on May 6th of 2019 weighing just 7 lbs, 3 oz. Amid the Megxit situation, Meghan flew back to Canada to be with Archie who was staying with a friend. 

Prince Harry also stated how he stands by his choice and makes clear that he and Meghan are not simply 'quitting' royal life because it got a little hard.

"What I want to make clear is we’re not walking away, and we certainly aren’t walking away from you. Our hope was to continue serving the Queen, the commonwealth, and my military associations, but without public funding. Unfortunately, that wasn’t possible," he said.

"I’ve accepted this, knowing that it doesn’t change who I am or how committed I am," he continued. "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.

I was born into this life, and it is a great honor to serve my country and the Queen.”
