To feel really sorry for Prince Harry breaking down

[AviationLifystyle]

At the awards show. I have been a little skeptical about him recently but my heart really went out to him when I saw the footage.

I have a feeling that having a child has triggered a huge amount of unresolved grief and anxiety. Now he has this dear little boy who is at the mercy of the tabloid press, as is his wife and there is little he can do to protect him.

It's time the press laid off. This is a human being breaking in front of us.

I've only seen what was on BBC Breakfast news but Prince Harry laughed and then snorted before putting his head down. I think he then became a little emotional but I didn't see any tears or sadness. Maybe if I'd seen the whole thing live I'd see it differently.

"Now he has this dear little boy who is at the mercy of the tabloid press, as is his wife and there is little he can do to protect him.'
Their child and Harry's wife is at the mercy of the tabloid press? Oh, what rot. All they have to do is decide to live privately but they don't want to. They want to live a public life but control the press. They can't have both.

FFS. Yes, YABVU.

Harry's mum was a sincere and sensitive person, who during her short life was able to pass on that empathy to her children. It is rewarding to know that our royle linage includes such humble and passionate heirs to the thrown. What they do in private, is really not ours or anyones business, we all value our privacy, and that privacy should include both Royals, and Celebrities alike.

I'd love to have seen/heard the Duke of Edinburgh's reaction .

Yes because the DoE is such a role model with a long history of being sensitive towards people's feelings

Why stunts like this one? What does it achieve?

How is speaking at a charity you're a patron of a 'stunt'?

Ms Markle wore her engagement dress and the same coat she wore to her first Sandringham Christmas... why?

Presumably because she can fit into them again. She's been criticised to fuck for not recycling clothes and now she's also being criticised for doing just that. There's literally no way for her to win here, is there?

I'll add referring to her son as a redhead to my mental list of utterly ridiculous things Meghan has been criticised for on here. Right up there with bump touching, watching Serena play tennis and holding her baby wrong.

Right now it seems like Harry can barely sneeze without a thread popping up on MN to discuss it! And given that the front pages of most newspapers today have the Cambridges front and centre, I hardly think Harry has taken anything from them.

I just saw it as a new dad getting emotional because he can empathise more now that he's a father. When I worked for an org that helps sick kids my colleagues who are parents 'got it' in a way that I didn't and would sometimes have tears rolling down their faces when we listened to their stories. Given the awful stats about male mental health in this country, I'm not sure that the old model of stoicism and hiding feelings is something to be idolised. And if Meghan had gone for a glitzy new dress then she would've been accused of trying to steal the limelight for that

@ contrary Are you suggesting that members of rhe RF should only do “gigs” on days when none of the others are? Because that would not only be bonkers but would mean they do even less “work” than they do anyway!

Prime Minister John Major publicly described her as a loose cannon.

In that respect at least, Harry certainly takes after her

Most new parents have a moment where it hits them that the tiny human they've just met is entirely dependent on them for protection for the next few years the only thing standing between said tiny human and all kinds of terrible things is them. Most get a bit panicky at that stage. Given that this particular new parent believes that the media killed his mother and is seeing the same papers decide that they hate his wife too I'm not surprised he's a bit extra emotional right now.

They should move to the US, it would take a lot of the pressure off (eventually, once people got over the novelty of them being there).

“ mere coincidence that this coincided with the trip to Pakistan that Prince William and Kate Middleton made? To replace their newspaper/TV coverage with "Oh, look at Meghan's dress/coat combo!"
Well, if that was the intention, it didn’t really work, did it?

I believe that he will eventually relocate to the states when his grandmother is no more.

Please say it's true.

Personally I think Harry is not in a good way at the moment. However I think the emphasis should have been on the children at the event and he should have kept his own personal feelings out of it. He could have mentioned that as a new father he is more sensitive, but he is there in a professional capacity and needs to keep a professional distance. Unfortunately I think he’s a mass of unresolved feelings at the moment . For a co presenter to be comforting him in the midst of all those suffering children and families felt wrong. He needs some time out perhaps to work through some stuff.

There are some posters who will take umbrage with anything Harry and Meghan do. Even the fact that she wore her engagement dress again. The same posters would probably moan about her not recycling dresses.
I wish some posters would just admit that they simply don’t like Harry and his wife rather than give tenuous arguments as to why this couple are in the wrong.

@hotcrossbun4321-
Totally agree with your post. He’s a new dad and can now empathise with the parents of these children.
I am sure most parents would feel the same way

IMO he's being attention seeking - trying to gather sympathy for their legal claim and take attention away from W&K.

Also taking attention away from the children and families at wellchild, so the news is all about poor harry crying despite having a privileged life and healthy child.

Maybe it has brought up unresolved grief from when Diana died but that was 22 years ago and Archie is 5/6 months now so plenty of time to get used to being a dad etc.

It just came across as totally fake and orchestrated.

He didn't

I would have thought that Harry would be grateful that William and Kate have all this attention

Is it mere coincidence that this coincided with the trip to Pakistan that Prince William and Kate Middleton made?

Well I hardly think the organisers of the awards ceremony gave a thought as to what the Cambridges would be doing when they set the date for these awards and, given that Harry has been attending for years, it wasn't out of the realms of possibility that he'd attend again this year.

For a co presenter to be comforting him in the midst of all those suffering children and families felt wrong.

Agreed

“ I would have thought that Harry would be grateful that William and Kate have all this attention”

And you think he isn’t because he attended an award ceremony he’s attended for several years for a charity he’s a patron of and his wife wore a dress?

He could donate a large portion of his fortune, encourage his father to sell off all the properties except Buckingham and Windsor and donate all the money to help the poor kids he is so emotional about?

And then maybe get a job and pay taxes to continue helping them.

Although I would also agree he and Meghan get a lot more crap from the press than they should. He should renounce his place in the succession and go live a private life somewhere - Better for his family and mental health probably

I’m sure he will be fine and get all the support he needs... maybe they could redecorate again - that could cheer him up. We should pay.

Bless him.
