He said:"It brings me great sadness that it has come to this. The decision that I have made for my wife and I to step back is not one I made lightly."And I know I haven't always gotten it right, but as far as this goes, there really was no other option."Our hope was to continue serving the Queen, the Commonwealth, and my military associations, but without public funding. Unfortunately, that wasn't possible.
Johnny Hornby, chairman of the charity co-founded by Harry and Lesotho's Prince Seeiso, said the duke had indicated the solution was not something he"ideally" wanted. But asked if it mattered to the Africa-based charity, which supports youngsters living with HIV, if Harry was royal or had a title, Mr Hornby told Radio 4's Today programme:"No, I don't think it matters at all.
"I think he has a kind of unique ability and an aura around him when he's with children, when he's with any gathering, I think his passion comes over."
