Life as a royal family member might appear fascinating for many, but it has its own hardships and emotional burdens for those living that life. Sharing the hardships of being a royal, Prince Harry made a heartbreaking admission. In his memoir ‘Spare’, the Duke of Sussex said he could “never cross that chasm” and be close to his family. Prince Harry was even denied hugs and kisses during his childhood, claimed Duke of Sussex, according to The Mirror.

“As a Royal you were always taught to maintain a buffer zone between you and the rest of Creation. Even working a crowd you always kept a discreet distance between Yourself and Them,” The Mirror quoted Prince Harry.

Prince Harry and his wife Meghan Markle stepped down as senior working royals years ago after their tense relationship with senior family members. Since his separation, Prince Harry has begun talking about his past experiences in the family, and he even made several bombshell claims about the royals in various interviews and in his memoir.
