During his speech, the 40-year-old remarked: “I’m not one to be caught in the divide between left or right views, not cornered by a belief in blue or red. Hell, I’ve never even been allowed to vote.”

Reflecting on his past, he added: “From my institutional role travelling the world to my decade of duties in the military, I saw the power of serving others firsthand.”

For those wondering why members of the royal family refrain from voting, Sky News’ Alistair Bruce clarified the tradition, stating simply: “Traditionally, they do not [vote].”

“This rule primarily exists to maintain the Royal Family’s politically neutral stance in their support of the monarch. Additionally, in the past, royal dukes—many of whom were male members of the family—were legally barred from voting because they held seats as peers in the House of Lords,” he explained.

He further noted, “When the Royal Family agreed to relinquish their rights to sit and speak in the House of Lords in 1999, this restriction on voting technically no longer applied.”

Reflecting on his move to the United States, Prince Harry reiterated that service remains at the core of his actions.

“As a father… and as someone born into a life dedicated to service, I understand that power and influence come with responsibility,” he stated.

The Duke of Sussex also stressed that his main priority continues to be “protecting our collective mental health.”
