Prince Harry’s friend says main reason behind exit was to protect Meghan Markle, Archie

JJ Chalmers, a close pal of Prince Harry had claimed that the Duke of Sussex stepped down from his royal life to protect his wife Meghan Markle and his son, Archie.

Meghan and Harry resigned from their royal responsibilities earlier this year to live a financially independent life.

JJ Chalmers, the Afghanistan veteran and close friend of Prince Harry, came out in support of his pal, saying he made the right decision stepping down from royal life.

Chalmers, who is gearing up to take part in Strictly Come Dancing said Prince Harry made the decision in order to put his family first.

Speaking on The One Show, he said Prince Harry is a very principled person and he made the bombshell decision to protect his wife Meghan Markle and son Archie.

According to the report, JJ Chalmers is the only person who stood by Harry’s decision despite the backlash from the public and even members of the Mountbatten-Windsor family.
