Does anyone else feel a bit uncomfortable with all this Harry stuff?

[asblindasabat]

I don’t know why, but I do.

I don’t even know any of them personally. I’ve never met them.

I have always liked Harry, I have no idea what is going on his life at the minute, but obviously something is.

I’m sure the loss of his mum in such a tragic way when he was so young was awful and his time in Afghanistan was probably terrible too.

I guess nobody knows what is going on between him and the RF, there are two sides to the story, I highly doubt we will hear the RF’s side though so it’s hard to form an opinion of who is wrong and right!

But he just seems to be getting very personal. Everytime I open my Facebook, my feed is just filled with new revelations that the media have found in the leaked copy of his new book. I get that he has issues with his family, but he’s not holding back with the personal insults. It sounds so awful. I don’t know what has meant to have happened between them that he feels the need to belittle them in front of the whole world.

It just feels a bit too much now and a bit uncomfortable. At the end of the day they are his family. Surely he should just pick up the phone to them or better still, fly over to London and sit down at the kitchen table with them and talk the whole thing out?

It went from a cringy Netflix rose tinted whinge fest, which at least was nothing more than a fluffy piece of one sided nonsense, to this vicious and destructive attack on his family, who loved and protected him, despite his assertions to the contrary. Can not believe the level of neologism and hatred Harry feels.

I do see your point @asblindasabat but I have to say, Harry has brought a LOT of this on himself. He just doesn't know when to stop. He and Meghan are coming across as narcissistic and toxic now, and it's very unpleasant to see.

They went off to the states to live, and wanted to leave all the trappings and fame and Royal family bollux behind yada yada yada, and yet still wanted to keep the Royal titles, and have their faces in the news and on the TV. All they have done is demand people leave them alone and give them 'privacy,' and yet they constantly shove their faces into the public eye.

They are disingenuous, narcissistic, tedious hypocrites, and I am sick to death of them. I did actually really like Harry, and did like he and Meghan together, but I can't stand the sight of them now. Even the most ardent Megzy and Harry supporters I know are rolling their eyes and sighing at them now. I genuinely cannot fathom how people can support them - seriously.

OP, even if he became suicidal from the ridicule he can pick up the phone and have instant access to a (probably) first class therapist. The rest of us have to go on a 2 year waiting list, and then get given an online 6 week course or something. Save your sympathy for people with real problems.

Like you said, you don't know them 🤷🏼‍♀️

I agree....why are people saying he seems 'ill' just because he is actually being honest and has the guts to do so?! I admire him for exposing the emotionally cruel practices of the establishment and 'family' that he was forced to be a part of for so long.Just because they're 'royal' doesn't make them infallible.

Personally i find it ironic that William and Kate are supposedly ambassadors for Mental health yet never do they show the world any vulnerability, weakness or imperfection, and certainly don't seem to relate to sort of motto synonymous with mental health such as 'it's okay not to be okay' or 'it's good to talk about about your problems'

Harry has made his mistakes for sure, but he has been through so much it's not really surprising that he has made afew wrong turns.He admits that and is now seemingly using the opportunity in his autobiography and documentaries to process and reflect on both the ups and the downs within the lives of himself and others around him.That's what those platforms are used for by anyone else famous, so why not him?

He's been in therapy for many years.
It doesn't seem to have helped much.

Signs of mental unwell- being if he is having difficulty in managing 'normal' human emotions especially over such a sustained period.

Did you not see the programme with William talking to those male footballers about vulnerability and toxic masculinity?
William recounted the challenge of working on the Air Ambulance, and his distress at seeing a very ill child, the same age as one of his own.
He was very honest. However, you don't have to constantly emote.

Harry made his bed and now he can lie in it.

I'm not worried for him and I don't think he's unwell. He wrote a book and then pulled it. Not because he regretted anything in it, but because during the Jubilee, he realised if he published it while the Queen was alive, he'd be toast. So he sat and waited for the Queen to die and as soon as she was gone, he wrote an extra chapter and sent ot to the publishers. He doesn't regret any of it.
He's not unwell. This is just who he is.

This^ I'm tired of the whole, he's mentally unstable, he doesn't know what he's doing shit. I'm even fed up of the blaming M for it. He's an adult with considerable advantages in life and he'll make a fortune from this book.

His previous, young girlfriends had the good grace and lack of need to financially elevate themselves to realize that he was troubled and not somebody with whom it was healthy to reproduce and bring children into the world. That is not the same as saying that nobody wanted him or that he could not get a girlfriend because he always could.

What has happened to him is that he was accepted by somebody who was under pressure because they were growing old and wanted kids, fame and riches. That has now manifested.

Neither of them are healthy role models for children. It's not as simple as chicken rearing and birthday cakes. Most stoners manage to make a few good memories here and there.

Charles deserves 'misery'....he created alot of the problems by the way he treated Diana and those poor boys.Not even hugging Harry, his child, when his mother had died, and making them face those crowds and walk behind the coffin like he did....it was absolutely cruel and heartless and he has clearly failed Harry as a father.

So often that's what toxic parents do....cause their children all these problems by their own behaviours, then play the victim when they get older and the adult children have the confidence to pick them up on their shortcomings.

i doubt Charles had any say in the walking behind the coffin nonsense

was william 15 and harry 12?
difficult age as regards to funerals

He needs a visit from his Auntie Anne. I feel like she's the only sensible one among them.

Wasn't it the idea to include the boys so Charles wouldn't be heckled? Read that somewhere.

Not saying it was his idea. But he must have agreed to it, they are his children.

I read this and realised that you're right. He deserves no sympathy.

I’m worried he is having some sort of mental breakdown. I think therapy has turned him against his own family, he’s misdirecting his anger at losing his mum towards other members of his family.

Where have you been?! That's what most people are saying.

Imo he's not really done anything different than any other celebrity who has ever wrote a book. There are much more shocking and racy autobiographies out there.

The only difference is he's an ex-royal.

"His previous, young girlfriends had the good grace and lack of need to financially elevate themselves to realize that he was troubled and not somebody with whom it was healthy to reproduce and bring children into the world. That is not the same as saying that nobody wanted him or that he could not get a girlfriend because he always could."

Wow, this is some amount of projection or reading into a situation that you personally know nothing about other than the crap you read in the newspapers. I think people believe everything they read in the tabloid rags as if it were fact. How do you know why his previous relationships finished for sure? You don't!

Projection, did you say? 😉

@MrsPelligrinoPetrichor yes we know that. People behave in all sorts of ways when they have mental health issues there isn't a definite set of descriptors.
Just my opinion, like everyone else's here.

I think that’s he’s a very angry and hurt man who for whatever reason felt that this book was a good idea. Why he thought it appropriate or required to discuss his frostbitten penis I don’t know. Worse though is his acknowledgment of drug use when he’s living in a country who could take action against him and his comments in relation to his time in the military. For a man who moved across the world for the security of his family, he’s not really showing much care for that safety now. It makes me wonder who he’s listening to and who is advising him, he looks very silly with some of the allegations he’s made.

How very true!

It did make me smile in a 'yikes!' sort of way at him saying Margaret could kill a potplant with a glare
