Prince Harry said royal life was like The Truman show and living in a zoo in an honest interview.
From the inside, Prince Harry compared life as a royal to being on The Truman Show which was a hit Hollywood film starring Jim Carrey whose character discovers his life is a TV drama.
Having stepped down from his royal duties in 2018 with his wife Meghan Markle and their son Archie, the family have made a new life for themselves across the pond in Los Angeles and this summer will welcome a baby girl.
Grilled over what it's like being a "tiny group" of royals "watched by millions", Harry gave a candid response in the US mental health podcast Armchair Expert.
He said: "Yep, it's a mix between The Truman Show and living in a zoo."
Quitting the royal family was something Prince Harry said he had wanted to do in his "early 20s" because of "what it did to my mum" Princess Diana.
Harry was only 12 years old when Diana died aged 36 following the car crash in Paris in a tragedy which broke the hearts of the nation.
Of royal duties, he added: "It's the job right? Grin and bear it. Get on with it. I was in my early twenties and I was thinking I don't want this job, I don't want to be here.
"I don't want to be doing this. Look what it did to my mum, how am I ever going to settle down and have a wife and family when I know it's going to happen again."
Moving to Los Angeles has been "freeing" for the Duke of Sussex as his life has been completely transformed.
Now Harry revealed he can go out with his son Archie on the back of his bicycle with no worries, something he said he wouldn't have been able to do in the UK.
He explained: "So living here (in Los Angeles) now I can actually lift my head and I feel different, my shoulders have dropped, so have hers, you can walk around feeling a little bit more free, I can take Archie on the back of my bicycle, I would never have had the chance to do that."
