Please consider supporting me at and help me make more fascinating videos!

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle recently announced their plans to step back from their roles as senior members of the royal family. They plan to become financially independent and split their time between the UK and North America. Prince Harry has chosen the happiness of his family over the prestige of royalty but he is certainly not the first royal to step away from their position in favor of love. Here are a few of the royal lovers who came before him.
Princess Ayako of Takamado
Prince Friso of Orange-Nassau
King Edward VIII
Grand Duke Kirill of Russia & Princess Victoria of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha
Mary Boleyn
