I'm feeling a bit sorry for Harry

[ssd]

I feel like he needs his mum more than ever. To put an arm round him and say "enough son".

He needs guidance, he's never had maternal guidance. Its well documented that Williams life has been really enhanced by Kates parents. Harry has never had that and i feel sorry for him.

I mounted her. It happens fast, so very fast. Next thing my necklace was broken, the dog bowl smashed and 25 dead Taliban laid slain at my feet. It was time to do a line and move to LA…

I'm feeling sorrier for the people he has needlessly put at risk by his utterly stupid comments about killing Taliban.

Derbee I think Meghan thought she knew what she was doing but I don't suppose for a minute that this was the shit show she expected.

This marriage will not last the year.It is quite clear that the thing that Meghan will not tolerate is ridicule.
A grown man describing his 16 year old spotty self as a 'stallion' means every one will be laughing at them.

Weak people revenge. Strong people forgive. Albert Einstein.

He is a weak man. That’s just how he is. He is easily led and manipulated. That has led to him making poor choices and decisions and constantly feeling victimised.

In Meghan, a woman with her own family problems he found someone who has fed his insecurities and encouraged him to feel bitter.

I think M is an actor who enjoys the attention and stardom (not many people choose to be actors with the desire to be in the background).. she thought joining the RF would give her a starring role but sadly there is no other part but 'supporting actor' .

C&C and Co stars W&K are the main players ... she would have massively hacked off at this and H would have fuelled this fire with his massive chip of being the spare (And by the time of the marriage being the spares, spares, spare.. after a a 27 day old baby.. ouch that must hurt - that every time your big brother has a child you become less relevant .
..
... so they flounced off to star in their own movie.. but it costs money and the only way to make it is to wash your grubbiest washing in public. .

If you watch the Crown he reminds me of the exiled Edward Vlll surrounded by his believers. Living in his own fantasy world where he is still relevant and important.

All very sad .

I suspect that last week the rest of the RF were feeling annoyed and frustrated about Harry's book. Now I suspect they're just pissing themselves laughing.

On the therapy point, just going over everything long term, I don’t think is helpful.
But I had CBT, and I think more practical therapies, backed by science, with targeted outcomes are helpful. And not forever! I had it for a few months. It was fantastic.

But to over analyse is to paralyse.

Absolutely agree OP, some of the comments about him are bloody appalling. Feel very sorry for him.

I read an article from about 10 years ago where he was very clear about his hatred of the media but admitted that he feels the need to read everything written about him.

If that is still the case, the negative abuse aimed at he and Meghan over the last however many years will have undoubtedly had a huge impact and only furthered his anger. It would also have a massive impact on your mental health - to read horrible things about you and your partner everyday.

I can't imagine that long term this sort of book is going to be something he is glad he did and I do feel sorry for him.

As much as I’d hate to be him, the truth is he’s nearly 40 years old. One of the most privileged wealthy men on the planet. And due to nothing but birth right, And he did this to himself . He had more than enough money and Charles was happily continuing to pay security that he could have went and lived a quiet privileged luxury private life, and he didn’t.

the queen said it was the “whole family’s hope they would build a happy and peaceful life”. So I guess she knew without a shadow of a doubt, the writing was on the wall and they were not for settling down.

its a terrible shame they elected not to meet her wish, they could have done so so much good work, living a life of luxury as they did so, with privacy and privilege for their children .

so I feel sorry for the whole family it’s come to this, but I don’t think it’s right to ignore his privilege and his hand in this.

For me, he and Meghan are soley responsible for the mess he right now finds himself in. No one forced him to talk about killing afghans, about losing his virginity, about lip gloss squabbles, to sell images of their kids, for millions and millions of dollars, he had other options . Options most of us can only dream of.

That’s all on him. I’m sure it was unfair, im sure William did have preferential treatment, with things like a bigger bedroom, but whatever went on with the royals, it didn’t warrant this. And that’s why people don’t like it. Most of us have had family squabbles

their privilege and opportunities for good were spectacular. They chose not to go that route. They chose spite, anger, revenge.

id save your sympathy. Save it for the people who deserve it. Not for a rich man who is upset he can’t be king.

I feel sorry for him. I lost my Mum when I was younger than Harry and it’s totally affected my whole life. You never get over it. It does seem like he’s crying out for sympathy or attention or something. I’m sure he will regret opening up so much and ruining any chance of reconciling with the family he has left.

Everything @Anniefrenchfry said in spades!!

It is sad that his relationship with William is so toxic. He talks about Dianna a lot, but which mother wouldn’t be heartbroken with the idea of her previous children turning against each other after her death?

I do feel sorry for him as he is oblivious to how he comes across and how deep his betrayal is. I'm not sure he understands what he has done.

Also, one of the reports said that he found out about William's engagement from the media - which I thought was quite sad. The reports I read suggest that William kept him at arm's length. That must have been really hurtful.

But you can't just force yourself to be happy! I bet he has a whole host of mental health struggles going on. I really feel for him and I really think he's a lost soul.

I'm Sorry he is obviously struggling with his MH but excuse meIf I reserve my sympathy for someone who has been on the waiting list with advanced schizophrenia for two years without access to private health care !

For all the teams that cannot access CAMHS ..

for all the elderly lying on a bathroom floor with dislocated hips (my mother last weekend - 27j hrs for an ambulance)

People really need to get a grip ..
There are FAR more deserving ripple of your time AND attention !!

But do so many people, but they can’t just wallow in their own misery all the time, they have to survive. And if he has MH issues he shouldn’t keep trying to push himself in the public eye to cash in as that’s not going to help his MH issues if he’s already fragile.

Agree! But I don't think he is thinking straight. It's a vicious cycle

He's a hypocritical clown. The book is just an extension of that cringey video of him touting MM at the premiere.

Absolutely agree with this.
he’s making himself look an utter prat and once MM has had enough of him and he’s in his own, he’s burnt all his bridges. Talk about about a path of self destruction!

I used to rather like Harry. But just spotted how 'disrespectful' it was that a palace employee parked outside his bedroom window each morning, blocking the light.

That would be a palace employee arriving at their place of work in order to earn a living, yes? And it begs the question why was Harry still abed at a time when the rest of the world we're going to work. Entitled much?

Sorry that should be were.

Feel sorry for this guy raking in millions by calling his family names and making the country a laughing stock? I feel more sorry for the people we visited at Christmas with our foodbank team who had lost their jobs and had got nothing for their kids. Not some millionaire moaning how hard done by he is. Get a sense of reality who is really suffering!
