  • Prince Harry and Meghan Markle made a secret appearance in Miami this week to speak at a private event.

  • Harry reportedly opened up about their decision to leave the royal family and said that he doesn't regret the choice because he had to protect his family.


As true royal nerds will already know, on Thursday Prince Harry and Meghan Markle made their first joint appearance since stepping down as senior members of the royal family. They flew to Miami to speak at a private JP Morgan event in Miami, and while neither was the keynote speaker, it sounds like Harry got pretty personal with his comments.

Sadly, a video of Harry's speech has yet to surface on the internet, but a source told Page Six a bit about Harry and Meghan's appearance, saying that Meghan said "few words about her love for her husband" before he took the stage. The source shared:

Harry spoke about mental health and how he has been in therapy for the past three years to try to overcome the trauma of losing his mother. He talked about how the events of his childhood affected him and that he has been talking to a mental health professional.

Harry also touched on Megxit, saying while it has been very difficult on him and Meghan, he does not regret their decision to step down as senior royals because he wants to protect his family. He does not want Meghan and their son Archie to go through what he did as a child.

And especially considering that Harry has acknowledged that he was disappointed with how the step-down agreement with this family panned out, it's very interesting to hear that he doesn't regret it, no?
