Harry’s podcast

[smilesy]

Carrying on the discussion about Harry’s podcast.

Come on guys, they are going to change the world "one act of compassion at a time."

This is another of Harry's acts of compassion!

Not as compassionate as accusing an un-named member of the family of racism - that they must have known most people would assume was his Grandfather (until they issued a statement) - when his Grandfather was dying.

Or telling a lie that the leader of the worldwide Anglican church performed an illegal marriage followed by a fake one, marriage being one of the holy sacraments of the church.

But still a fine effort.

'They are opening themselves up to exploitation and I don’t know if Harry has the ability to cope.'

Exactly. Yes it is his decision to bear his soul but this airing of his feelz is just cringeworthy.

Get mh therapy, just stop talking to the media about other people. They won't have anything to do with Markle Senior yet have followed his lead

He now lives in a world which only works by promoting victimhood. This is how Meghan operates - its enormously self serving and dangerous as a person's own account of their mental health cannot be countered, so they sound plausible and increasingly get away with saying anything they like, even falsehoods (as Meghan often does). I acknowledge he has some issues, we all do, but dealing with them privately would be far wiser.

Not young, he is a balding man fast approaching middle age.

@nimbuscloud

He’s also really criticising PP, the grandfather he adored. He’s saying ‘my father was fucked up by his father. I am not going to do the same’. Which May be fine to think privately, but to say this publicly just after ther person concerned has died, and the family are grieving is awful.

But I don’t think he is saying anything that Charles himself had not already said?

Charles has never said his father screwed him up in a very public way. He may think that privately, but he’s never done what Harry is doing.

Those that are genuinely concerned about MH, do you really think the people assisting them in these endeavours of oversharing their self-centred view of the world have their best interests at hearts? If you do then you're naïve - it's £ signs in people's eyes, pure and simple and everyone knows that.

Meghan wouldn't get time of day without Harry with this bunch of people - it is Harry being trotted out like a prancing pony to whimper on demand.

It is cruel, if you genuinely cared for him as some claim they do - you'd feel sorry for him. As it is , some cheer him on - right to the edge of the cliff. Wouldn't much fancy supporters like that in my life I guess it's the H&M type of caring, so beyond normal folk.

Harry sounded relaxed and happy

I agree. Lots of you will hate that, but he does. There is a big amount of positivity for him opening up about how it is for him.

Some of you on here sound positively upset and/or furiously angry about him doing a podcast.
Why in god's name do you listen or look at anything about them and then come and write about it. It baffles me.

There are certain people in the public eye I don't particularly like. I get a rumbling when something newsworthy has happened and I avoid threads and press about them because I'm not a fan. Why can't others? Don't answer saying it's not just the DM. It is only a tiny tiny corner of news and you have to seek out to find out about it, it is very easily avoidable.

chaosrabbitland they feel this deeply which is why they are doing their best to give back in all sorts of ways. I don't think one couple can be blamed for all you wrote about it.

I acknowledge he has some issues, we all do, but dealing with them privately would be far wiser.

I disagree with this. Mental health problems do not need to be hidden. If a person was trying to raise awareness about breast cancer (for example) they wouldn't be criticised for opening up about their experience of the illness. Mental health problems should be treated exactly the same IMO.

@Roussette but why do you get so upset about people getting upset......I don’t understand the need to criticise people having an opinion.

@Crackoflightning

This couple apparently want privacy, I don't see much privacy happening

This is always quoted. It's not what they said. HTH

Hasn't he just said exactly that, namely that his life is like living The Truman Show and being an animal in a zoo?

He said it was bad when they were in LA I think but better where they are now. And that part of the conversation was mostly about their children's privacy. And I really don't understand why people conflate having a public profile with being hunted and harassed by the press. Who can honestly say they would cope well with that?

I haven’t listened to the podcast - but I read he commented on the photo of Archie going to nursery- so they are still being hounded? That is sad

Nishky I may be lots of things but upset is not one of them. Far from it.
Yet posters on here talk about how angry, how upset, how furious, how annoyed they are, very worked up, etc.
That's not me.

I am not criticising anyone having an opinion. I am just saying it is obviously affecting some people greatly, so why not avoid the subject matter and chill out a bit.

@CovidCorvid

So he could access counselling/a therapist but she wasn’t allowed to? That’s very peculiar.

I think she wanted to go somewhere residential. She said she was scared she'd hurt herself. There are different levels of need/crisis.

@Roussette perhaps obsessed rather than upset then- also people are upset about what he said rather than doing a podcast.....

I didn't realise she wanted residential.

I wondered if there was a thread on this when I read it on the BBC news this morning. I’ve not heard it though.

I’d say most of us make mistakes as parents but are doing the best as we think it at the time. There are decisions I’m sure most of us with the benefit of hindsight would change. I’m certain most parents would be terribly hurt for those decisions to be held against us & put on the world stage for all to see.

hahah Nishky your choice of words are amusing me. Obsessed hmmmm... no. There are many people obsessed by them but no, not me. I just do hate the unfair press they've had and the bullying they receive.

On the 'upset' ... if posters are genuinely upset by him, they should avoid the press on him! I am sure there are famous people out there who could have the capability of upsetting me if I spent a lot of time reading and writing about them. So I avoid it!

Exactly. Why constantly come on to these threads telling people to ignore H and M if they don’t like them? Why don’t you ignore the threads.
FWIW I think it’s despicable behaviour to air your dirty laundry in public, particularly when your family is grieving.

I just explained why in my last post.

Where can we hear this pod cast?

It also f&@ks me off that H is basically trying to fund a luxurious lifestyle with this pitty parade. He has absolutely nothing unique or useful to offer the world except a connection to the family he is trashing. I would say it won’t last forever but Paul Burrell still pops up now and again and he was only the butler.

Will be interested to hear H G Tudor's take on this.

I'm fascinated by all this indignation about 'airing dirty laundry'. It sounds like something from the abuser's playbook. Besides which, going on this podcast- what has he said about the RF? That he wants to do things differently and can see how some of what he went through was a result of his dad's upbringing and each generation passing on issues to the next. Where does it say Charles was a shit parent? He actually spoke about the problems both of his parents had.
Honestly if anyone seriously thinks growing up like that was healthy and he should just be quiet and be grateful... I'm not sure where you've been for the past 20 years or so.

He does realise that the children of rock stars and actors (and various other celebs) grow up just as screwed up as royals (and the rest of us)? All the benefits and opportunities he has had - all the privileges and hands up, and he is still whinging. He has been able to do things/go places that is ordinary people can only dream of. If he’d been brought up on an estate in Castlemilk he’d still be crying.

It all sounds very ‘California’. I had a relative who emigrated there - to the ‘land of opportunity’ - and did the same ‘therapist’ route thing. Became a bit woo, picked every aspect of her life apart, said some dumb things, pissed people off, whined a lot... then got her head out of her bum and realised that actually, shiny new life wasn’t ‘all that’, became desperately homesick and mourned lost time. Felt trapped because of family and jobs now embedded in America.

Feels like a fool now, very lonely and feels that she has missed time with now dead parents and the rest of the family. Really misses the U.K. and feels like an outsider when she does come back. Mourns her life here (which was actually pretty good).

Yes, a ‘new life’ can be very exciting and wonderful when you are swept up. Throwing out your old life and family isn’t always a good idea.

He’s almost confirming that he was extremely emotionally and mentally vulnerable and she’s seized on that and immediately started feeding him the line that he can leave and have another life.

I find it fascinating. They seem to be polarising that’s for sure. They are sounding more and more unhinged with every interview they do.
