However, 65438+1October 18 announced at Bai Han Palace that as a new arrangement between Harry and Megan, the prince was asked to withdraw from his "military appointment".

In 20 12, Prince Harry visited Helmand Province for the second time, which was considered as one of the few opportunities in his life to truly find satisfaction from the restrictions and pressures of royal life.
He was called "Captain Wales" by his comrades. He proudly said to a comrade-in-arms, "I have two things in the world." That's all I can do. I can fly a helicopter. I can focus on what I want to do. "
Perhaps it was the life in the military camp that made Harry experience the wonderful taste of being away from the royal family.

Prince Harry's military career ended in June, 20 15, but he remained an enthusiastic supporter of the armed forces and won some ceremonial military titles.
He said at that time: "Fortunately, for the rest of my life, I will continue to wear this military uniform, associate with other soldiers and do my best to help them."
His striking military title is Commander of Royal marine, which is the backbone of the amphibious combat capability of the Royal Navy and is regarded as one of the most elite assault troops in the world. From 20 17 to 12, the queen conferred the title of Harry to replace his grandfather Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh, and made him a young British general.
Prince Harry, as the etiquette leader of elite troops, has the right to wear the badge equivalent to marshal.
But now, Prince Harry will resign as Commander of the Royal Marine Corps and Honorary Commander of the Royal Air Force in Hornington, Suffolk.
Prince Harry's decision to resign from the royal position drew criticism from other veterans.
James Gramsci, a former colonel of the British Special Marine Corps, said last week that if Prince Harry tried to make money from the royal position through commercial speculation, neither he nor his military colleagues would agree.
However, Bai Han Palace's statement did not imply that Prince Harry must give up his personal relationship and support for a series of military charitable activities, including accompanying the wounded.
Similarly, Harry can continue to participate in invictus Games International Games, which is held for disabled veterans and veterans injured in the armed forces.
Lord West, the former Minister of the Navy, also expressed regret that Prince Harry had retired from the army.
He said: "The current situation is very sad. I think it is unfortunate that after serving well, he will no longer be associated with the British army. "
