January 10, 2020 - 21:19 GMT Aisha Nozari JJ Chalmers discussed his friend Prince Harry's decision to"step back" from royal duties JJ Chalmers, a close friend of Prince Harry and an Invictus Games medallist, appeared on The One Show on Friday to defend his friend's recent decision to step back from his royal duties, adding that the Duke of Sussex is merely"protecting his family". The pair met more than five years ago when they served together in the military.
JJ, 33, expressed his support for Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's bombshell decision and said that he believes it comes from their desire to protect their son Archie. var playerInstance=playerInstance || []; playerInstance['pxz7cc07']=document.addEventListener=> { window.player=lf.player; }); He began:"I’m very lucky and fortunate to have an insight into [Harry’s] life, and he has changed my life through the Invictus Games. When I first met him five years ago we were both serving in the military, we were both sort of leaving the military, and in some ways he was leaving the military not on his terms as well because of who he is.
It was then that Harry's friend suggested family was the sole reason behind the royal couple's choice, adding:"I would say so, any husband wants to protect their wife and any father wants to protect their children.
