Prince Harry's Friend Reveals 1 Possible Reason Why He's Separating Himself From Royals

Prince Harry‘s friend JJ Chalmers is speaking out on the royal couple’s decision to step away as senior members of the royals.

The 35-year-old Prince met JJ while they both were serving in the military.

“He’s less the captain in the army I knew, and he’s more a father, that’s the first thing I ask him about,” JJ said while appearing on BBC’s The One Show. “And I think the decision that he has made, at the forefront of that is to protect his family, because that’s the No. 1 rule is to be a father and to be a husband.”

“Any husband wants to protect their wife and any father wants to protect their children,” he added. “He is a very principled individual and so — when he looks at how the media reacts and how social media talks about someone — he has to answer to his son one day when he begins to understand this and be able to look him in the face and say, ‘I made the right decision and I did right by you.’”
