I think harry is really brave

parsnipsnotsprouts · 21/05/2021 09:19

Really? I think he’s making a career out of whining

osbertthesyrianhamster · 21/05/2021 09:21

That's nice. I think he's ridiculous. Sick of all the 'talk' and 'it's good to talk'. What's needed is some serious practical assistance, not some over-paid person getting paid millions to spraff the same thing over and over.

My definition of brave is quite high.

But you're entitled to your opinion.

Same here. Quite a lucrative one. I mean, you know, easy money, fair play to him. It's going to have to pay out billions if he wants to maintain the lifestyle he has for 40+ years.

Of course it's good to talk. But to a trained professional who can help him. Not to the world's media

I disagree. If talking to the media helps him, then so be it. Im currently having counselling from a trained professional and getting nowhere. And dont tell me to find someone else, its through the gp and rarer than gens teeth.

God I’ve just cringed so hard reading the excerpts. We’ve gone from ‘stuff upper lip’ to the victim olympics.

Are you doing that privately or on television though? I think that’s the main issue.

I wonder how much talking to the media would help him if he were doing it on a voluntary basis and not getting paid millions on deals?

Brave... or desperate for money and attention. I don’t doubt he’s had mental health problems and I don’t doubt his dysfunctional family and upbringing and the early loss of his mother all hugely contributed. I hope he can resolve those mental health problems and be happy. But he’s had his say, he’s made his point about his family. He’s given us lots of arty black and white videos and meaningless California therapy speak. Lots of people are born into horrendous situations and families they wouldn’t choose, he’s not as unique as he thinks.

I hope he’ll now renounce all further titles, money or place in line to the throne, shut up and go away and enjoy the privacy and “normal life” (in the massive mansion etc) he apparently wants. They are now a former helicopter pilot and an actress very few people had heard of. They have no particular expertise in what they pontificate about and I hope they find jobs that involve more than talking and making videos.

Blinkingbotheration · 21/05/2021 09:30

I would like to see him raising actual money for mental health charities (not the measly 5% profit they have to give in the US) rather than listen to him moan constantly about how hard it is & has all been. Many, many people have it harder.

BillieSpain · 21/05/2021 09:31

I think he is the antithesis of brave.

Yeah, it's all about him isn't it? If he spoke to a professional it would be private. Speaking to the media drags everyone else in, but sod THEIR mental health eh? 🙄

Sirzy · 21/05/2021 09:33

My worry is the way he is doing things is showing no concerns about the impact his comments could have on the mental health of his wider family. There is a way to talk but personally his way makes me feel uncomfy

Haahaaa! That'll never happen. He has a 16-bathroom mansion to keep up.

BrownEyedGirl80 · 21/05/2021 09:34

He's a prick now.I used to really like him.

Junipersky · 21/05/2021 09:35

I agree with you OP.
I find it so hard to open up about how I am feeling (with my mental health).
I honestly feel it will help so many people to find the courage to do that.

JackieWeaverFever · 21/05/2021 09:35

Yes "stunningly brave" 🙄

He doesn't give a fuck about their mental health and knows damn well they won't say anything. He can throw them under a bus for £££ and get away with it.

H1978 · 21/05/2021 09:39

I think he’s incredibly stupid. I’d hate to be a member of the royal family.

notangelinajolie · 21/05/2021 09:39

@ssd

Talking about his mental health. Starting talking is the hardest bit. I have to start the conversation and i cant. And i can usually talk for Britain. I admire him.

The man is a fool.

Whinginadeville · 21/05/2021 09:44

I think he's being used by Oprah and her ilk. They don't care about his clearly fragile mental health and are monetising his victimhood. All thise who genuinely care about him and have trued to help, protect and nurture him have been cut from his life. The RF may be flawed but he was a loved, treasured and valued member to be selling them out like this is a very bad look. One he'll regret when the Oprah's of this world lose interest.

giletrouge · 21/05/2021 09:46

I agree OP.

gottakeeponmovin · 21/05/2021 09:46

Yes it's so brave to undermine your family publicly to make money. We should all behave like this

MrsElijahMikaelson1 · 21/05/2021 09:47

Paraphrasing a little from another thread...But he’s not focusing on mental health, and the issues and recovery. Or how, if you weren’t exceedingly privileged you would be able to go about accessing the help you need. He’s focusing on telling the world what a shit family he has. All the dirty detail-for money.

Throwing your family under the bus in such a public way whilst knowing they are in the same situation you once were, and have no right of reply is shitty behaviour. Does this constant trash talking his family for public consumption help him recover in any way? And what about his families mental health. They have no way to respond without hurting Harry further or calling him a liar. They have to just take it. At some point it becomes abusive to them. I feel he’s reached that point.

If he was primarily focusing on his mental health, therapy, recovery, understanding events and how they impacted him I’d get it. But that’s so far from what’s happening here.

No one is focusing on mental health they are all focusing on the gossip of how shit his family is, because that’s what Harry is selling. That’s his platform. Mental health of others and support needed gets no more than a passing nod.

I think he and Megan need to take the time and heal privately. He’s obviously not in a good place and I feel that he’s being played by Oprah et al for ratings etc and not because it helps people with MH issues. Acknowledging your issues is one thing but the constant attack on family is another, and I’m not sure that will help his MH in the long term. At some point he will regret this (maybe he already is to a certain extent but has sold his soul to Oprah) and that regret certainly won’t help him-or his wider family feel better.

SteveArnottsCodeine · 21/05/2021 09:48

I agree. His family are hugely dysfunctional and toxic..... and funded by us. I admire him for lifting the lid on all of it.
