Harry 'exonerates' Meghan, but it's controversy

(ANSA) - LONDON, JANUARY 20 - Clear words, to claim that he wanted to step back from the role covered so far in the Royal Family, without conditioning by Meghan Markle. This is how many British newspapers today interpret the speech held last night at a charity event by Prince Harry, in which the second son of Charles and Diana spoke in public for the first time after the sensational decisions on the renunciation, from next spring, of the status of "active member" of the Windsor dynasty.
A renunciation that the Duke of Sussex - subject of media criticism even after the latest announcements, and of suspicions about the fate of the royal contributions that have been paid to him so far not directly by the queen - said he chose to do not without "sadness" and not without risks ( "It was an act of faith," he said), but consciously: as the only possible option for a "more peaceful life" per se, for his consort Meghan and son Archie.
