I think harry is really brave

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.

OP I agree with you.

I feel so much for him, he has so much to deal with from his childhood and speaking openly about it seems like a healthy and necessary thing for him.

I think he is in a horrendously unique position compared to normal people trying to come to terms with their past.

It may well be that he has a deep need to say these things publicly because his whole life has involved the whole world telling lies about his mother and father and now him and his wife.

I would really hope that people could have empathy for him now.

As for Charles, well I would hope that when my children are adults if they have criticism and issues with how I parented them that I would listen and love them and say sorry for the mistakes I made and nurture them now to try to heal their past.

It's brave to ask for help when you're suffering inside.

It's brave to approach the people you believe had a role in your suffering and address it with them in private.

It's not brave to get paid to slag off your family to Oprah and the world's media. That's very cowardly.

Every generation blames the one before but thus far haven’t been so endlessly public and actually quite cruel. What about Charles and Williams mental health - does that not matter?

My parents were, by any measurement, not the greatest of parents. However it’s pointless to blame or point fingers retrospectively, nothing can be changed.
However you can make a conscious decision to do things differently yourself. I admire that Harry has made that choice to change how he parents his child but do it quietly fgs. Have some dignity

If he doesn't sell his story then bits an pieces will get leaked all over the press anyway.

I don't blame him one little bit. At least this way he gets some kind of control over it all.

I really like him and Meghan.

No. It might have been brave in different circumstances, but making a career out of trashing your family? Blaming the media for all your issues whilst courting them when it suits you?

I'd add that it's also brave to admit to your struggles and use your celebrity to promote resources and strategies for better mental health, but that's not what he's doing.

I dont know him but I doubt his bravery and revelations will filter down to the appallingly long waiting lists for MH help.

I do feel sorry for some of the things he had to do, losing your mum so young is so terrible, and I think it’s understandable that he went off the rails and I think it’s good that he sought therapy to help with that awful thing he went through.
Personally I think then meeting and marrying someone quickly who also clearly suffers from incredibly fragile mental health was a dangerous move. To bring two children into a marriage where both parents have issues with addiction, suicidal thoughts etc is a huge risk, and I hope for the best for them.
In my opinion they should now quietly bow out of public life and work on their family and health as being in the public eye is clearly so damaging to both of them. However, their only way of making money is by being in the public eye and maybe if they were happy to live a more frugal and low key life they would discover the real important things in life. Living in the most shallow city on earth and hawking yourself round talk shows sounds like the worst thing someone with poor mental health could do.

The irony of saying they left the RF "to control the narrative" but then basically sell their soul to the likes of Oprah to make millions ---- whilst knowing that every other publication will pick over each word like vultures and thereby twist the very narrative they were trying to control 🤦‍♀️

Not the brightest move ever. Their media advisers should be ashamed of themselves (but are equally raking in money and looking forward to parlaying their work off to bigger jobs in the future)

Ooooooh him.
I only clicked on it because I thought it was about Harry Styles.

I feel sorry for him. Its been obvious for a while that he has been struggling with his mental health and he's obviously been through a lot.
But I think he's being used by people who are exploiting him for their own gain and I don't think what he's doing is helpful either to him or to others. He and Meghan would in my view be better off taking time out to deal with their mental health issues away from the spotlight and then if he wants to help others then look at fundraising and how resources could be better used. He also needs to consider how what he is saying is affecting the mental health of others in his family who are currently grieving and dealing with a lot of things themselves.

I think he is a numpty of epic proportions who keeps using his experience around his dead mother's death to enhance his career and make money. His brother shared in that experience, she wasn't Harry's mother alone! He seems to have elevated his mother to a martyr level when she was a flawed human just like any other. In turn he villifies his father at every turn.

There is nothing wrong with saying that you want to parent differently to your own, most people take the good bits and adapt their parenting technique but he still blames his dad for his childhood. He throws his family under the bus at every turn yet was scared about going to his granddad's funeral. What did he expect? For them to welcome him with open arms just because he shared his truth? He has moned about his father cutting him off financially, a grown man in his 30s should be able to support himself and yet he still attacks his dad. if I was Charles I would be washing my hands of him and remove his title. If the royal family are so negligent and damaging they why keep the title and use it?

He's become a professional fully paid up victim. Not brave at all. People who can't feed their kids, live in high rise not fit for purpose housing etc. must look at a rich entitled moaning man and think wtaf.

He is an utter disgrace.

Have you not listened to any of the interviews? Harry isn’t talking about his mental health. That’s just the platform he’s using, there is nothing being discussed about Harry’s therapy, reactions, treatments, recoveries, nothing,

Harry is purely selling the story of his up bringing, but only the juicy bad bits. There is little to nothing about his mental health in there.

has not learnt the skills to adult.

this ^ wot B1rthis said.

Has had had a lot to contend with and has always been surrounded by advisors who have placed the good of the RF above everything else.

Now, he has found a new set of advisors and has not yet realised that they, too, have an agenda and it's not necessarily an altruistic one for his own good.

Who knows what he will have said, on snd off air, before he realised. It is ultimately very sad with such echos of his great Uncle lousy abdication.

I think hes being very dishonest about his motivation (money). He is doing nothing to support mental health.

I have learned nothing about mental health from listening to Harry. I have had learnt a lot of salacious details about his family.

I’ve been listening to a massive amount of therapy programs lately whilst I’m working and from what I’ve heard he could have a case of Arrested Development. Where you go through something extremely traumatic emotionally at a young age and it can leave to stuck there until you have intensive therapy to deal with it.

I can’t remember exactly what age Harry was when his mother died. But it might be that he is now operating at a teenage level whilst discussing these things which is why he sounds so incredibly immature.

*leave you

I am starting to feel sorry for him. The ship he thinks is saving him is full of holes.

@ssd

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.

He just publicly laid into the way that Charles was parented, with Philip barely cold in his grave. That's a disgusting thing to do to your family.

As a pretty poor person who had an abusive childhood and have fended for myself since I turned 17 I find it difficult to relate to him. All I see is rich people patting each other on the back whilst living in a very privileged bubble. I can't see what him doing this achieves other than adding more zeros on his, Oprahs and apples banks balance.

He's become a professional fully paid up victim. Not brave at all

This in a nutshell.

For someone from the royal family he has no class. You don’t air your dirty laundry in public if in doing so you throw those you purport to love under a bus.
