33. Didn't he have to stop using the title 'Prince' when he decided he didn't like being an active part of the 'Royals'?

Frankly, I would guess more than a few British people would scoff at him using the title and trying to meddle in policies all the sudden. Saw recently that he wants security protection like the royals who do their assigned 'duties'. Maybe it's rougher out there among common people? He and the wife want back in?

I like Harry, and am glad he got the counseling he needed, did the work to get over some traumas, but he seems to be having second thoughts about his decision to live his life his way, outside of the privileged umbrella of monarchy.
