Alegrias

Well I don’t know if the Queen is anxious or not.....

You are assuming you know what I’m thinking. I clearly said I don’t know and for you to assume you know I’m assuming is both contradictory and rude. Alegrias you don’t know so please don’t tell me what I’m assuming. You are displaying the same behaviour that you accuse myself and others of. One word don’t!

^Talking publicly about the nightmare that is depression is something I fully support, I do not support publicly accusing
named people for being the cause^.

Well said, Anniebach.
In all probability does not help either the person with MH problems or anyone else; it should be worked through with a professional in confidence.
Just because others who are not so high profile do it by writing books, making documentaries, does not mean it is a helpful process on the road to recovery.

Heads Together, launched by the three of them, brought together several mental health charities so it is surprising that neither Harry nor Meghan knew how to seek the help they both needed.

If I was that way inclined, I might feel picked on.

I don't though.

So much discontent, via Oprah, surfacing from the Sussex's since their move to the U.S. Now this latest 'dig' most surely coming from Harry's ignorance of U S history.
What next. ? now in print? Harry and Meghan's 'How to win friends and influence people ?

I am fed with up the pair of them bleating and twittering away, they just need to do what they aimed for out there in the USA and have a quiet life. But they keep drawing attention to themselves and creating more media interest which is exactly what Harry keeps saying he wants to avoid. I really don't understand it.

Annie. Sorry. The book is by Kitty Kelly. Not Lester, where on earth did that come from ?..

I feel Harry's being spiteful, but no-one seems to remember that years ago Prince Charles complained about the way his parents treated him- surely as heir this was far worse.

I know it's simplistic but even way back I can remember at home being encouraged to tell my parents what was bothering me, usually in those days an impending spelling test or loss of bicycle pump! But as my mother always rightly said 'a trouble shared is a trouble halved ' So I certainly think that depression, anxiety and so on should be discussed, but not to the point of making money and deeply distressing others over and over again. I would imagine the Queen would be quite upset at her grandsons endless negative media out pouring, particularly after being so recently widowed. Family upsets kept within the family are horrid enough but must be so much worse when broadcast far and wide for all to see and hear. Have a heart you two I think most of us have got the message, so surely you can put a bit of a brake on all your childhood sufferings?

You're right Prince Charles did, and probably he shouldn't have, and who knows he could well have regretted it. But in those days no online media so his comments were confined to newspapers and magazines. However, for donkeys years Charles has proved himself a loyal supporter of HM, this country and the Commonwealth . All things Harry seems to now despise. For all his parental difficulties, Charles seemed the most affected by Prince Philips death, the one who perhaps was the most fond of him, closely followed by Princess Anne. Charles visited his father in hospital, who knows what passed between them,but he certainly on leaving, seemed very sad.

So in other words he did the same as harry just via a different media.

And even on GN we have threads about unfeeling parents, favouritism, even deliberate cruelty except we name no names.

No, because he didn't turn his back on his family, this country or the Commonwealth, he has worked hard for years to do good for this country, he has and is a loyal support to his mother, has not, does not and never will sell private family business to the highest bidder and lives in this country not la la land. Quite a difference I think you'll agree.

Boz

He has his Mother's penchant for using the Media for his own ends. Ended well for her, didn't it?

And this is still considered a fine comment,? in the last couple of hours not one person has admitted that it is out of order.

When did Charles say he had been treated badly by his parents,
we know he hated his school but I don’t recall him saying he was treated badly

I agree with Boz Diana used the media for her own ends, but
some will not accept the truth about this.

I think that it was in that interview with Jonathan Dimbleby in circa 1994. Charles admitted to a lonely childhood and that the Queen and particularly Prince Philip were distant parents. P. P could be overbearing to this very sensitive child, (Anne fared much better) sending him to a totally unsuitable school, again fine for Andrew, and curiously Edward, but not for Charles. P.P and Charles were completely different characters which was hard on both of them, but in later life came together forging a deeply affectionate relationship. Prince Harry by comparison had much easier time,spoilt by both parents and his grandparents who bent over backwards to accommodate him especially after the tragic death of his mother.
You are right about Diana and the press Annie,and it would seem Harry is the same.

So Charles was unhappy at school, he sent his children to a different school. Charles was unhappy that he was prevented from marrying the woman he loved and pushed into an unsuitable marriage, he let his children marry who they wanted to marry.

Doesn't sound like he parented like his parents, sounds like he tried to change things.

Charles childhood was different to his siblings, his mother coping with the shock of becoming queen at a young age and his grandmother who was a very dominant woman , recently
widowed , was very involved with his upbringing, first grandchild and at 4 heir to the throne,

Phillip knew nothing of parenting given his childhood , and we are talking of over 60 years ago.

Saying he had a lonely childhood is not saying he had a bad childhood or accusing his parents, just stating a fact

If Charles had decided to leave England as well I would think that was fine, I certainly wouldnt think he had turned his back on his country .

If he had lived a private life doing his own thing then fine. Same for Prince Harry. Its the trashing of his family in public in order to make megga bucks that people dislike, especially as the truth seems to be somewhat elastic. Its beyond me how anyone could do that not once but again and again. His grandfathers funeral will probably get a slot in Netflix if the price is right, who knows. A snip of his mothers funeral is now being used in his latest gift. He's beyond belief and seems to have forgotten that he wasn't the only one to lose his mother that night.

Both funerals have been shown again and again across every different media channel, they certainly wouldnt have needed Harry's permission to show any clip.

It is shown in a video set up by Harry and Oprah

Of course they knew how, unless of course they kept it to themselves, and are now playing the victim. Good riddance to the pair of them. A private life, yet they are selling themselves all over for money. Hypocrites.

I think he would have had some say in what this latest offering will contain! It's just him and P.C, no one else, not his brother who also lost his mother, but I guess that wouldn't have the same impact on this money making merry go round. Making money out of your dead mother? Beggars belief.

Harry and Oprah are making a series on mental health for Harry’s latest venture with Apple tv, the short video showing Harry at his mothers funeral was made by Harry and Oprah
