Harry’s podcast

[smilesy]

Carrying on the discussion about Harry’s podcast.

This bloody speaking out perplexes me. I have listened to the podcast.
Its the arrogance that the speaking out will somehow pave the path for others.
Nobody gives a damn about my rather boring and long standing depression.
Have you tried accessing CAHMS lately?
My friend works with teens, who have been excluded form school.
The stories are stomach turning.

I’m just writing my own opinion on a forum It’s pretty obvious I haven’t assessed him 😂

Are u from the CQC 😀

I wonder how many posters here have actually listened to the podcast.

To one reading this thread it would seem that the sole subject was Harry bemoaning his lot and denigrating his family.

I think it’s disingenuous to portray this as being the case which appears to be the gist of many posters on this thread .

Someone asked why doesn’t he talk about the fun things he did as a child.

The context of the talk is in relationship to his series with Oprah about mental health.

Also to listen to the podcast is to hear the context (I wonder if any of those postings without listening also decried the need for context in regards to the concerns expressed regarding their baby’s skin colour).

Personally I think Harry comes over well during the podcast. Do I think that at times things could have been expanded on? Absolutely.

however this didn’t come across to me as moaning more more explaining his position and the basis of his thoughts.

I think many have decided he is so wrong that they are unable to put aside their bias in order to hear what is being said and how and why it is being said before making negative judgements.

I think he is a flawed human being as are we all including his family. One person thriving is spite of difficulties doesn’t negate another family members inability to do so and finding a different way.

I also found Dax Shepard’s input regarding his own mental health struggles and family history and background really interesting. Hearing him talk of the self abuse he put himself through as a result largely of his experiences.

It does a disservice to act as if this podcast was merely a Prince Harry whingefest

Should have said IMHO

Sorry response to above

It is a bit weird, this constantly complaining about his royal life.
I always understood that sending him and PW to Eton was one of the few decisions that Charles and Diana agreed on, and this was definitely NOT following Charles' Parents.
It also meant that they often had tea with the Queen at Windsor at the weekend, (Eton is close to Windsor).
The Queen and rest of the RF wanted to keep the two boys safe at Balmoral after the death of Diana; they were all brought back to London by popular clamouring.
These things do not strike me as an uncaring family.
Harry blames the press for Diana's death (though I think it was the French and Italian paparazzi, rather than the British press), and not the fact she was not wearing a seatbelt.
He complains he was 'made' to walk behind Diana's coffin, but if he had not, I am sure in years to come, he would have complained about 'not being allowed' to walk behind the coffin.
I am sure at the time, the RF thought they were doing the right thing.
At Harry's age, I think, you should stop complaining about one's childhood and family and grow up

I don't listen to or care for rich people moaning how hard their life is. I'm shocked that their is people who do. Life is so tragic when you live in a multi million pound home and with millions banked complaining how hard done by you are.

@Angiedx

I so agree. I know for a fact there are many many posters who have not listened to it. I heard when it cme out, and there were posts slagging it off all taken from the Daily Mail. No one at that point had a chance to listen to it, and I doubt many have now.

Just the clickbait picked up on and huge fury about it.

It needs to be put into context with the rest of what he spoke about which has been very well received.

I must tell that to the desperate people I've spoken to over the years. There is an age limit on complaining...

@KarensChoppyBob

I'll never grasp the sheer hatred directed at these two.

Oh they're Royal/privileged/famous so they should just accept all the 'hate'.

Oh their mental health can't possibly have been affected by their lives so far, the privileged twunts. Wanting to give their children a different life, selfish idiots. Not to mention being happy and in love, such a crime.

They should be keeping a stiff upper lip no?

I hope they and their family thrive, mainly right now just to see the cats' bum mouths reactions here.

No-one is saying they have to accept hatred or be harassed.

What they're saying is don't complain about the media intrusion to the media that are intruding.

Don't publicly say you were too embarrassed to access mental health, whilst simultaneously spearheading a mental health awareness charity

Don't complain about family members publicly airing private issues, whilst airing private issues of your own family.

Don't complain about the fact you're a millionaire and your father cut you off from even more money. Don't complain about quitting your very well paid job and then having to find ways of earning lots of money.

Don't complain about not being able to do normal things, whilst telling us you did normal things like going to the supermarket with your girlfriend.

Don't preach about saving the planet whilst taking planes back and forth between countries.

Hypocrite generally sums any conversation up about H&M...

'wonder how many posters here have actually listened to the podcast.'

I've no wish to listen to it all thanks.

The point is, yet again, he has spoken publicly about his family and 'genetic pain' without their input or consent. That is not right considering how he moans when anyone talks about him.

He needs to decide if family members are allowed to air their problems or not. He's a mass of mixed messages and contradictions.

@JaniieJones

'W&H did not board at the age of George, Charlotte and Louis! Not sure they boarded till older so undoubtedly the three will probably do the same.'

True. We'll have to wait and see, I'd be surprised if they boarded but who knows.

They seem to be doing things differently by apparently having a stable home life and married for love rather than breeding. That will surely form a happy home unlike the Wales'. Again, time will tell if the Cambridge juniors compete with the Sussex juniors for chat show appearances and grievance airing. I think not.

Both their parents did.

Bet they go to Eton and Marlborough

Going by that list, anything they say is wrong because there will always be somebody to stretch it out with a 'but what about blah blah'

Do not talk about the planes, the rest of the RF are far worse. Even recently there's been bad press on this.

They are earning money, yes. Good for them. It's not like the taxpayer are funding them which was the whole of last year the huge bugbear on these threads. They are doing it themselves, well done them.

The airing of private issues was right before the wedding and was awful. TM sold private letters on his daughter and sold set up pap shots. Ghastly.

They do not want the vile media intrusion they had over here... it was horrendous, who can blame them for moving away from that.

I felt sympathy and empathy for Harry a few months ago. His mother’s death would have had an enormous effect on him. However to do two such personal interviews in such a short time, both bringing his relationships with the Queen and his father centre stage, is awful.

He’s just a very silly, immature 35 year old, whose completely burning bridges with his whole family.

I've no wish to listen to it all thanks

In that case you can't put anything into context. It really wasn't bad, it was interesting actually

Genetic Pain? What does this even mean.

I think when Harry is harping on about Mental Health, he is on about his own being prioritised.
His truth, his story.
He doesn’t seem to give a shit about his Fathers or Grandmothers mental health.
I can’t imagine hearing this stuff said about me from a family member while I was dealing with the death of my Dad or Husband.
When he starts pontificating on the constitution over there, I think that’s when it’ll start to get frosty for them.

I think William changed the dynamic by marrying someone from (what looks like) a close and loving family. The Middleton influence on George and co will add a component that Harry and William did not have in their childhoods.

They are earning money, yes. Good for them. It's not like the taxpayer are funding them which was the whole of last year the huge bugbear on these threads. They are doing it themselves, well done them.

Lol. Yeah I can imagine that Netflix would be falling over themselves to offer them deals if Harry was your average Joe from a council estate in Stevenage. Oh wait..

They're making money off the back of Harry's royal connections, how much praise do they honestly deserve for that?

'In that case you can't put anything into context. It really wasn't bad, it was interesting actually'

I beg to differ, I'm perfectly able to have an opinion on the snippets I've seen on the news. The context is he was talking about family relationships amongst other stuff, that is a breach of their privacy. After Oprah and the whole circus he should really try to #be kind. If he's got nothing nice to say then for the love of god he should pipedown and count his blessings! It may even be therapeutic and help him let it go.

The airing of private issues was right before the wedding and was awful. TM sold private letters on his daughter and sold set up pap shots. Ghastly.
So it’s wrong to do this before the wedding, but it’s ok just before PP dies and just after his funeral?🤔

He is basically just flogging family gossip, flailing around with a bunch of insults about their parenting techniques whilst actually just being a total media whore.
It has a false veneer being of benefit to the greater community or unleashing powerful impact or some such tripe.

totally agree.

They both sound very pretentious now.
