[Asia Economy Reporter Kwon Jae-hee] Prince Harry, who declared independence from the British royal family, is being humiliated after it was revealed that he was deceived by a Russian YouTuber and disclosed behind-the-scenes stories of the royal family.

According to an exclusive report by the British tabloid The Sun on the 10th (local time), Prince Harry recently had two phone calls on New Year's Eve and January 22nd with a group of Russians who impersonated Swedish environmental activist Greta Thunberg.

Believing the Russian scammers to be Thunberg, Prince Harry revealed why he and his wife Meghan Markle left the royal family.

According to the call content released by The Sun, Prince Harry said, "The royal family is incredibly complicated with many intertwined issues," adding, "Sometimes the right decision is not easy, but it was the right decision to protect our family and my son."

He continued, "We were completely separated from the mainstream of the royal family," and added, "(Living a normal life) is much better than royal life."

Prince Harry also said, "I served in the military for 10 years," emphasizing that he did his best and now wants to choose an ordinary life that our family enjoys.

He explained, "Marrying a prince or princess doesn't mean everything is made for you," and "The new life in North America has allowed me to try things I couldn't do before and say things I couldn't say."

Prince Harry also criticized U.S. President Donald Trump, describing him as "a man with blood on both hands trying to revive the coal industry." Regarding British Prime Minister Boris Johnson, he praised him as a "good person."

The recordings of Prince Harry's calls are still available on YouTube and Facebook.

Meanwhile, the Russian group that deceived Prince Harry also tricked celebrities such as actor Joaquin Phoenix and singer Elton John. They operate under the pseudonyms Boban and Lexus on YouTube.
