harry and megan

Big Question! Should they keep their titles?

Yes please! I love referring to them as the Duke and Duchess of Dough.

The Duchess has launched herself as an author, I can't wait for the Duke's "Guide to Parenting"

I wonder how many people posting on here about how H should keep quiet have in the past posted that people should be free and open to talk about mental health problems? Talk about double standards. Leave the bloke alone. If you don't like him don't listen. he isn't part of your family, he isn't someone you have to have contact with. If it upsets you so much do the best thing for your own mental health -ignore him!

No doube standards.
Seriously trisher, Harry isnt talking about his mental health problems, he is making his living by them.
Everyone endorses talking, to a professional.
No professional would endorse this self destructive behaviour.

What on earth is Prince Harry thinking? Not content in slagging of the UK is now turning on the U.S saying ,in a recent speech, in his own words ,would he /could he?? really be that stupid ? although he doesn't (claiming )understand it, so shut it then, The Fifth Amendment is 'Bonkers'.

I doubt he realises that things have badly misfired if he is being
.urged to continue and told he is being a hero

Surely now he will just shut up and go away. He must realise how badly things have misfired and is in fact damaging his own reputation. I hope he can survive this because he is obviously not a strong person. I wouldn’t want to be in his shoes.

So many armchair psychiatrists on here who know exactly what’s going on in a person they don’t know’s head on the basis of a few snippets from media interviews.

Well that’s just it. We do know because he’s made it his business to share so many ‘snippets’ in various interviews. Therefore people have formed opinions based on what HE has said.

So much of this thread is about Harry, although the title of the thread is Harry and Meghan (I spelt it correctly as OP spelt it
Megan)
Any thoughts on Meghan and her background and upbringing
it seems all anyone is talking about is Harry trashing his family, lets remember it's Meghan that has produced one more GGC for the Queen and another due very shortly.

In order to move the discussions on from the original interview the OP mentions, I think contributors to this thread have done well to pick up on the tone of the latest podcast made by Harry himself. Nothing really to do with Meghan this time.
Yes, the OP title was a bit misleading.

trisher Talking of mental heath is something I have done for years , since 1970. I was treated in a psychiatric hospital.

Alastair Campbell has written an excellent book about his mental illness, Prince William speaks out about mental illness,
they do not verbally attack other people as Harry is doing.

Big difference in sharing on this forum than on world wide tv.

Wasn't he told to have therapy by William? Few years ago?

Yes Harry has called it genetic abuse and he wants to break the cycle.
Even the poor Queen got slated! He wants to grow up and realise that his father did the best he could. He doesnt know what abuse is! I'm not denying he suffered as a child with his mother dying but he should let it go and realise just how privileged he is. Too many of his generation are quick to blame their parents for everything that's wrong in their life. Estranged Adult children who cut contact with parents do so at your own peril as this is what your children may copy in the future. I am not including parents who have abused their children of course. But parents get it wrong some times and all make some mistakes. So Harry dont be like Meghan please.

I don’t buy papers vegansrock, but obviously I can’t speak for others. By media I meant SkyNews, BBC news, and other news outlets on television. And it’s on Gransnet. And we’re all on this thread, so none of us can claim the high ground whatever our views.
In answer to your second point, none of us knows whether he’s still getting therapy, but he has told the world that he’s had therapy. I hope that answers your question.

Harry was part of the each baby's "production."

How does anyone know he isn’t getting some kind of professional therapy?

If that’s the case, they don’t seem to be succeeding.

I think he should stop publicising all this for his own sake.

You are right, trisher, saying publicly you have MH problems and that you are seeking help is nothing to be ashamed of - it could encourage others to do the same.

However, this is on quite a different level, every slight, every difficulty small or large being shared on a worldwide stage helps neither him nor anyone else.

I neither like nor dislike him but I do feel very sorry for him lashing out like this.

It sells papers, the haters lap it up , which is why it’s over the media. How does anyone know he isn’t getting some kind of professional therapy?

I don’t listen to him trisher, but it’s hard to ignore when it’s all over every media outlet in existence.

What we do know is that he is a very troubled young man who clearly needs expert help.
It does not take a qualified psychiatrist to realise he is making everything worse by his constant publicity stunts.

But they pay well, don’t they?

Sorry, anniebach, i should have read back further. No tears on my side, emotional blackmail is a sign of a bullying and I treat it with contempt.

The First Amendment guarantees freedoms concerning religion, expression, assembly, and the right to petition. It forbids Congress from both promoting one religion over others and also restricting an individual’s religious practices. It guarantees freedom of expression by prohibiting Congress from restricting the press or the rights of individuals to speak freely. It also guarantees the right of citizens to assemble peaceably and to petition their government.

Perhaps the part which guarantees freedom of the press is the part which he means (I would think, do not know). However, this also gives individuals the right to speak freely.

It strikes me that going to live in a new country and immediately cruticising one of the fundamental rights of that country is a very foolish thing to do.

In his latest podcast appearance, Prince Harry told American actor Dax Shepard that only by moving 5,000 miles to the US west coast has he been able to break free from his “genetic pain”.

He can move wherever he wants to but he can never get away from himself. He needs to quietly work through his problems with a qualified therapist and in absolute confidence before he can find peace.
He is making his problems worse.

So many armchair psychiatrists on here who know exactly what’s going on in a person they don’t know’s head on the basis of a few snippets from media interviews.

As Harry obviously feels as he does towards his own flesh and blood , why doesn’t he just keep his thoughts to himself to avoid hurting them , he knows exactly what he’s doing and if ever there’s a split between him and M , then he will have cut all his ties with his family so he be on his own .

Why also would H&M want his own children to be brought up without the love and support of their dad’s family , as all children need and want the love support from their grandparents , also what will H&Ms children think of their own parents when they become young adults . Poor Dianna , if she could see her own son Harry now I doubt if she would have much respect for him .

Harry has turned out to be such an awful man with lot of hatred inside him , he is obviously influenced by his devious and poisonous wife ......how so very sad , just hope he lives to regret his hurtful unkind remarks and it’s only when his bubble bursts that he will finally see what awful person Megan really is and then it will be all too late . Sad.

MOnica. dry your tears x

AussieNanna I took one sentence out of a paragraph, she was
criticising Charles and put it forward as a hurtful comment.
