Prince Harry has confessed that he once wanted to leave the Royal Family and live an ‘ordinary life’, but his loyalty to the Queen stopped him.
The 32-year-old opened up in a uniquely candid interview with journalist Angela Levin, and described how struggling to cope with public life in his twenties left him wanting to renounce his royal role.
‘I spent many years kicking my heels, and I didn’t want to grow up,’ he admitted.
He described the years of partying, drinking and smoking heavily that followed as ‘total chaos’, and said he had come ‘very close’ to a breakdown on several occasions.
