Prince Harry recommends meditation

They had a terrible childhood - parents who couldn't stand each other, admitted publicly to having affairs, were discussed all over the media, constant and very public speculation about Harry's 'real' father, and then the tragic death of their mother. Even then they couldn't grieve in peace but had to be dragged out in front of the cameras for the benefit of total strangers sobbing and weeping as if Diana was their nearest and dearest.
It is amazing that William is as stable as he is. Harry is obviously still struggling with it all, and may not always make the wisest decisions.

Regardless of Harry and his troubles, I find meditation during the day all but impossible. I can't easily switch off, and taking time out to do it just doesn't work for me.

I do, however, find that listening to hypnosis tracks in bed is very useful. The act of concentrating on feeling heavy from head to toe is very relaxing, and does empty the mind of extraneous thoughts. I have an eye mask with speakers which is very good for this.

Beswitched they were not dragged out for the funeral they
chose to , unless William lied.

I agree, that was an awful thing to do to them as if they were zoo animals. Tony Blair's doing.
Unforgivable.

No, I think Beswitched meant them being dragged out from the sanctuary of their Grandmother's care at Balmoral to inspect flowers, meet and greet the crowds because Blair said she was 'The People's Princess'.

Diana didn’t protect her children from the press, she informed the press when she could be seen with them.

How do you know that?

It was not because of Blair, it was the public ranting to the eager press ‘where is Queen? ‘ causing the headlines

‘Your country needs you ‘ and ‘show us you care ma’am’

Diana wasn't perfect. None of us are. But her life with Charles was very sad and affected her psychologically, I'm sure. I just think its wrong to keep making judgemental comments.
And how do you know that Anniebach?

Without wishing to step in Annie’s toes, how else were the posed photos, such as at the theme park, obtained? Diana courted the press for her own purposes and was happy to use her children to that end.

How long has she been dead now?
I would most certainly say the love on the faces of diana and the children wasnt posed.

Sparklefizz I know because one of my Godson’s worked for a
daily at the time .how did the press know she was visiting the
former home of the Duke of Windsor when she was on a private holiday, how did they know she was present at a heart operation dressed in theatre garb plus diamond earrings.

She used the press

I don't mean the Queen, she was used to appearing in public, composed and concealing her grief.
I meant young boys having to be paraded for the public's gratification at the instigation of Blair who labelled her 'The People's Princess'.
She was also the beloved mother of two boys, traumatised by her loss.
It was a disgrace.

Nadateturbe why do you place Diana above criticism ?

So unkind to a woman who had issues, wasn’t perfect, had an unhappy marriage and clearly loved her children . Let her RIP

I don’t think she does

I havent met anyone who has thought that Diana was perfect.
I always say that is why the public (some of them) took to her, precisely because she was flawed, and human.

Callistemon the public were a disgrace , you believe because
Blair said ‘she was the people’s princess’ the public thought
‘We must go to Buck House , sob and demand the Queen hotfoot it from Balmoral?

People in every sphere of life suffer terrible tragedies. It was terrible for the young princes when they lost their mother, as it is when any young child loses their mother. This loss was compounded by what happened afterwards including the very public funeral. Nonetheless, like others who suffer tragedy, the two princes needed to mourn, remember, and move on with their lives. William appears to have done this. Harry, not so much. I think it extremely unhealthy for Harry to be working for a mental health organisation that sells very expensive therapies. Firstly because it requires him to constantly bring up his past, and secondly because it forces the public to look closely at his behaviour and wonder why he’s doing this, and perhaps coming to less than complementary conclusions.
If I had any advice to give Harry, I would say he needs to engage himself with some voluntary work with others who are less fortunate than he is. Further counselling and using his difficult experiences will do no good at all in my opinion. It will merely force him to continue to rehash everything constantly. However I don’t think Harry wants my advice. He wants to earn money but perhaps has chosen the wrong way to do it.

I might well agree with you about Harry but I see no reason to have a go about Diana yet again

I think William is lucky in having sensible, grounded in-laws.

Agree. I wrote the original post and I didn’t mention Diana. I’ve no idea whether she meditated or not.

I think you’re right Callistemon. Unfortunately Harry no longer has anyone to give him sensible advice.

I bet she could sit in the Lotus position though!

Harry won’t let Diana go. All the paranoia about the press, wanting his family to have privacy (there’s a joke) - she and her problems are mentioned because Harry’s issues seem to be rooted in his perpetuation of his mother’s problems rather than moving on as William has.

It’s rather sad isn’t it?
