During his time with the Marines, Prince Harry was known to place a special emphasis on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.forcespenpals.co.uk\/support-soldiers\">supporting soldiers<\/a> in terms of their wellbeing, which is part of the reason why many were do disheartened that he decided to step down. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The silver lining in this very dark cloud is that Princess Anne is making history by becoming the first captain-general of the Royal Marines. This decision could motivate more women to look towards the Marines as a career choice in the future. And Princess Anne is no stranger to the job, however. She is linked to 65 different military organisations and is heavily invested in our service personnel. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/live.staticflickr.com\/7215\/7336145394_3c202c694e.jpg\" alt=\"Image result for princess anne\"\/><figcaption>Photo Credit: Flickr<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Prince\nHarry will officially make his final exit this spring, but not before he\nreturns for a final farewell with the men that he has watched over for two\nyears.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Prince Harry&rsquo;s exit from his role as a royal had a serious ripple effect.
