Harry further explained he’d been forced to step down from his royal role in January 2020 to protect his children, son Archie, 2, and a daughter he and wife Meghan Markle are expecting over the US summer, to “break the cycle” of “genetic pain” passed down from his grandparents and father. “I never saw it, I never knew about it, and…
