Prince William and Duchess Kate seemed to be in high spirits on Monday, January 20, as they hosted a reception at Buckingham Palace on behalf of Queen Elizabeth II while the royal family grapples with Prince Harry and Duchess Meghan’s decision to step back from their royal duties.

Prince Harry, 35, has broken his silence since he and Meghan Markle, 38, have made the decision to step back from royal life. “So, I want you to hear the truth from me, as much as I can share – not as a Prince, or a Duke, but as Harry, the same person that many of you have watched grow up over the last 35 years – but with a clearer perspective,” the Duke of Sussex said while speaking at the Ivy Chelsea Club in London on Sunday, Jan.
