In his speech, he talked about his childhood in the royal family and compared it to the famous British series &#8216;Downton Abbey&#8217;.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Sometimes people ask if growing up in the royal family was anything like &#8216;Downton Abbey&#8217;. Yes, but only one of those worlds is filled with drama, intrigue, exquisite dinners, and marriages to Americans, while the other is a TV show,&#8221; Harry admitted.<\/p>\n<p>During his speech, the prince noted that this event was the &#8220;first Christmas party&#8221; he had attended &#8220;in a long time&#8221; and shared more serious thoughts about life in the U.S. as a British citizen.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;For me, being British is not about where you are physically, but about the ideas you stand for,&#8221; said the Duke of Sussex. Harry added that celebrating Independence Day was an unusual experience for him: &#8220;For me, it\u2019s a new world \u2014 celebrating independence from Great Britain, or rather, independence from my great-great-great-grandfather.&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Prince Harry Reveals How Life in the Royal Family Resembles the Series &#8216;Downton Abbey&#8217; Prince Harry was a&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":622308,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[7708],"tags":[5105,7710,519,448],"class_list":{"0":"post-622307","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-royals","8":"tag-royal","9":"tag-royal-families","10":"tag-royal-family","11":"tag-royals"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/115690027384435569","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/622307","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=622307"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/622307\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/622308"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=622307"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=622307"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=622307"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
