A new biography has claimed Prince Harry was “emotional and demoralised” after stepping down from his royal duties.
The Duke of Sussex was stripped of his military titles when he stepped down from royal duties after moving to the California with wife Meghan Markle earlier this year.
Harry gave up his roles in the British Army, however vowed to maintain links with servicemen and women reports the Daily Star.
It is this aspect of 'Megxit' that he found most “demoralising”, according to Finding Freedom authors Omid Scobie and Carolyn Durand, says the The Mirror.
The book reads: “If his grandmother’s validation of his experiences served as encouragement, the most demoralising aspect of the new deal was his being stripped of his honorary military appointments that had been awarded to him as a senior royal.
“As a retired serviceman, Harry would always be able to wear his medals, but no longer could he wear uniform as Captain General of the Royal Marines, Honorary Air Force Commandant of the Royal Air Force Bas Honington, and honorary Commodore-in-Chief of the Royal Navy’s Small Ships and Diving Operations. These roles had come to an end.”
A source told the authors: "That’s been a tough pill to swallow, and the one that has been most painful to Meghan witness him go through.
"It’s the one that made Harry emotional."
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex secured a TV deal with Netflix thought to be worth around £112m earlier this month.
The boss of Netflix says Prince Harry and Meghan Markle "shopped themselves around" for a big money deal before striking a contract with the streaming site.
Their new yet-to-be-named production company will make documentaries, feature films, scripted shows and children's programming.
But Netflix CEO Reed Hastings claims the couple offered themselves to "all major companies" before agreeing the mega deal.
Earlier this week it was reported Prince Harry's old 'court jester' friend has visited him and Meghan Markle as they embark on their new life in America.
Guy Pelly is said to have visited the couple with his wife, Elizabeth Wilson, and their three-year-old daughter, Willow.
The visit is understood to have happened when Harry and Meghan were staying at a mansion owned by Tyler Perry.
A source told the Daily Mail : "They were kindly invited by Harry and Meghan.
"Despite what's been said about Harry losing touch with his old friends, he was keen to see Guy."
