Prince Harry shed some light on his recent decision to step back from royal life in a speech at a charity dinner on Sunday.

I want you to hear the truth from me, as much as I can share not as a prince, or a duke, but as Harry, he said during a fundraiser for Sentebale, a charity he co-founded that helps young people affected by HIV in southern Africa.

He said he felt sadness at the abrupt ending of his royal life, and regret that he couldnt keep his military associations.
