According to Prince Harry's lawyers in a court hearing, Harry and Meghan Markle "felt forced" to step back from the royal family as they were "not being protected by the institution."

Prince Harry appeared at the Royal Courts of Justice in London on Tuesday, April 8 as the legal battle over his security arrangements in the U.K. continues—and according to his lawyer, the Duke of Sussex felt like he had no choice but to step away from royal duties due to the lack of police protection given to himself and his family.
