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.

So Harry could have easily flown back and said goodbye to PP, he choose not to. Probably Harry could not look his grandfather in the eye after all he had done to harm him and the family. Harry knows full well how devastated Prince Philip would be to learn of his treachery and harm

What tosh. You don't know whether it was easy for him to go back or not, and likewise I doubt very very much his 99 year old grandfather at the very end of his life was thinking of anything along those lines at all.

You will be hard pressed to find any support for Harry now in the UK

Rubbish. Just the posters on this thread illustrate you are incorrect.

@CokeDrinker thanks for the truly ridiculous comment about me (below). You're lack of understanding of the world is made crystal clear. Don't Blush too much...... Not all men are great and not all women are great. Someone can not show misogyny through having a specific opinion about 1 person...... Have you finished school yet?

Your misogyny is obvious and disgusting and says a lot about you. Evidence shows Harry wanted out of the RF many years ago and he smashed a cameramans camera. But do keep making out like Meghan is the villainous succubus.

@LeilaLiesLow

How many of us have perfect parents?

How many of us ARE perfect parents?

Exactly.

And how many of us whether in counselling or not, would take to the media and criticise our families who are still alive?

Every single person could blame their parents and upbringing for something. I could. But I talk to my friends and DH about it when I need to.

Talking to the media and causing so much pain to your parent and grandparents who simply did their best at the time, is cruel and shows a lack of maturity.

@LeilaLiesLow Did you live your childhood in an international public fishbowl? If not, your post is completely irrelevant.

@Sylvan92

A close colleague of mine had a very troubled childhood and spent years in therapy as a result (before I knew her). What I find interesting about her is she’s so forgiving and kind when she talks about her parents and shows so much empathy and kindness to others. She’s a real inspiration. I believe that’s what therapy should do for a person. Harry doesn’t seem to be at a stage where he should be sharing. It’s great to talk about mental health but I don’t think he’s ready to really discuss his own, at least in detail.
Agreed this is what happens when you get to the end of the therapy journey. I was very much like Harry. Consumed with anger pre therapy and was very vocal about my pain.

hey choose not to delay the showing knowing they were placing a bomb under the royal family at a time of great suffering

Whilst there are posters on here who are talking about all the problems that people are going through far far worse than Harry, I really think it is wrong to call the passing of a 99 year old man at home having led a very very happy life 'a time of great suffering'. It would've been a time of peace and thanks for a life.

When you blame the woman for the actions of a man, and suggest he has no agency and is 'manipulated' by a woman, you ARE showing misogyny. Own it. Sorry if having a mirror held to you is an inconvenience. HTH Smile

LalalalalalaLand123 · 21/05/2021 15:13

I think it is highly irresponsible of Harry's therapist (if they had a choice) to allow him to carry on in this way, publicly crucifying his closest family, making things up, rewriting history, making accusations when he knows the other side cannot respond. This doesn't heal anyone, least of all Harry - it creates new wounds, new traumas, new pain. His therapist should have suggested some other way to heal the wounds - in private, perhaps family therapy of some sort. This is a grotesque public display of character assasinations and the destruction of a family, for profit - for Harry and Meghan's profit.

So sad that H&M feel they will be happier with this blood money, than actually trying to heal the wounds - or, just quietly cutting ties, going NC and moving on.

@DifferentHair
Hear, hear.

S111n20 · 21/05/2021 15:14

@SoTiredNeedHoliday yes I agree with that.

Roussette · 21/05/2021 15:16

Blood money?

Good grief, I've heard it all now.

Blood money is either what you pay to a hired killer or compensation for a murder victim.
Last I heard Harry hadn't murdered anyone or is this a MN rumour that is purported to be fact because it just is ??

Sorry but that is absolute bollocks. Therapy can, but does not have to involve forgiving people who have abused you. You’re talking absolute shite.

Summercocktailsinthesnow · 21/05/2021 15:17

I am very confused where did I blame Meghan for Harry speaking out? I wouldn't call it speaking out either. Harry has started a real time daily bullying campaign against his own family it is hardly 'speaking out', but a co ordinated and well paid orchestrated slur against the royal family. His family.

Meghan does however have a pattern for dropping people when they are of no further use, extending her family and father. She is well known for it, so I don't share your confidence that she will feel differently about Harry in time.

Harry and Meghan made it very clear that they would 'postpone' the interview if Prince Philip died. It was in every single newspaper and on every news channel at the time. I suspect you don't live here, and have no idea what is actually going on

LeilaLiesLow · 21/05/2021 15:19

@Cokedrinker Maybe try using some emotional intelligence when you pass comments on this.

It's not about living in a goldfish bowl as a child.

Harry is now a man. He can choose how to behave.

If Harry doesn't want attention , why is he still swimming in the goldfish bowl and asking the world via Apple to watch and listen to him?

Maybe you have missed that so your post is utterly irrelevant.

cricketmum84 · 21/05/2021 15:19

I'm sorry but I think he's a Nob with a victim complex being pushed by his media hungry wife.

If he wasn't as money hungry he would be donating more to mental health charities rather than just slagging off his family.

In 5 years time he will realise just how badly he has burnt his bridges when she gets bored and pisses of with someone else.

I'm all for talking and speaking out about mental health issues, hell I've been there myself!! But not at the expense of your own family.

He needs to pipe down.

SheldonesqueTheBstard · 21/05/2021 15:19

I’ve said it on other threads and I stand by it.

You cannot heal your hurt by creating hurt for others.

There will probably come a time when they will come to regret their actions. I hope the money is a comfort when that time comes.

Summercocktailsinthesnow · 21/05/2021 15:20

What an ageist misguided comment roussette The Queen and Prince Philip have been married for over seventy years, do you suppose it was of any comfort to her that he was 99? Of course not, because it is still a great loss whatever the age. What a terrible post Sad

Selkie1961 · 21/05/2021 15:21

I thi nk nit would sound braver if he took more responsibility.

Im not announcing this to anybody so its easier but when i look at problems in my FOO i can see i should have made a boundary clearer earlier. I can see my part in the equation.

SoTiredNeedHoliday · 21/05/2021 15:22

@CokeDrinker surely you can do better than that? You are on here just to inflame things right?
Again, having a specific comment about 1 specific person doesn't class me (or anyone else0 as a misogynist.
Additionally, This whole topic is about his mental health issues. A person with mental health issues doesn't have complete control on a lot of occasions and it impacted by others perhaps more than they would usually be... Catch-up!

ps I like the 'class' of your posts Wink

KaleSlayer · 21/05/2021 15:22

You cannot heal your hurt by creating hurt for others.

But it can be very healing to let people know what actually happened in a situation rather than let them keep thinking something else, put out there by someone else.

I guess you've never heard of a figure of speech?
Harry is hiring himself out to publicly assisinate all his family members' reputations. Hence receiving blood money in return. HTH.

Selkie1961 · 21/05/2021 15:25

Yes @lalalalalalaland123 y3s my therapist advised me to to send a letter to my parents as th3n you end up deal8ng with their reactions and its a distraction from yr wound

While they were fortunate to have had Philip as long as they did, the loss of a close family member at any age is still very hard.

And PP himself had quite a difficult and unsettled childhood. He lost a sister at the age of 16, among other things. He could have kept Oprah going for quite some time, if he had been the type to share “his truth”

Selkie1961 · 21/05/2021 15:27

That's why i doubt he's had much therapy or if he's having therapy since fall8ng out with his father and the RF

@Summercocktailsinthesnow So you weren't blaming Meghan when you said this? "so lets really hope Meghan doesn't drop Harry when she is done making a quick buck on his misery (not hers we might note) and he will be the latest in a long line of MM casualties,"?
