A war hero has said Prince Harry’s decision to step away from the Royal Family has left many in the military ‘disgusted’.

Ex-Royal Marine James Glancy, a former Captain in the Special Boat Service, said he wouldn’t raise a toast to his Captain General – as is tradition – if he tried to use his royal position to earn money through commercial ventures.

Speaking on LBC Radio the ex-Commando – who won the Conspicuous Gallantry Cross in 2012 after three campaigns in Afghanistan – said: ‘Harry’s been a great public servant… but his behaviour in the last year is not becoming of somebody that holds these important positions, these patronages including that of the Captain General.

‘I’ve spoken to some other Royal Marines and other people in the military and they are very upset, if not disgusted by the disrespect to the Queen by not discussing this.’

While the Duke of Sussex has been a 'great public servant', his behaviour is not becoming of somebody who holds important positions and patronages, according to the ex-Commando

He added: ‘You don’t sit as Captain General and think you can make millions of pounds, because that opportunity isn’t available to a soldier on £20,000 a year.

‘If Harry goes down the route of semi-privatising his role I wouldn’t raise a toast to him as he wouldn’t have my respect.’
