Omid Scobie and Carolyn Durand in their book titled Finding Freedom, mentioned that Prince Harry was emotional and found it demoralising that his ranks were taken away. The writers wrote, "If his grandmother’s validation of his experiences served as encouragement, the most demoralising aspect of the new deal was his being stripped of his honorary military appointments that had been awarded to him as a senior royal," as reported by Marie Claire UK.
Due to his exit from Royal Duties, Prince Harry reportedly cannot wear his uniform. The book mentioned, "Captain General of the Royal Marines, Honorary Air Force Commandant of the Royal Air Force Bas Honington, and honorary Commodore-in-Chief of the Royal Navy’s Small Ships and Diving Operations. These roles had come to an end," as reported.
The writers also mentioned that Meghan Markle confided in a friend about Harry feeling emotional and also stated that the move to take away his military ranks 'so unnecessary'.
