Im going to put it out there - I have the upmost sympathy for Prince Harry.

I agree Coastpath so I don't understand why Harry's done nothing but court publicity since he left and why more often than not, he's done so by trashing his family.

Because it's the only way he can earn the sort of money he wants.

He doesn't seem to have thought through his finances before rushing off to first Canada and then the US. He was astonished that his father stopped his allowance and that he wouldn't have his security provided.

In order to provide the sort of lifestyle he was accustomed to, he needed to find a way to bring in some money and he has nothing to offer. He's trying to lecture people on therapies and giving counselling without any proper knowledge or training. All he can sell is himself and his thoughts/experiences.

Once that stream of income has run dry, what will he do?

Yeah, I agree with Coastpath as well.

Life in a gilded cage for sure

Coastpath, I’m with you.

I am sure if Prince Harry ends up on the streets one of his rich relatives will help him.

I feel sorry for Harry but I do wish if he wanted to have a quiet life he would just do that. All the interviews and telling everybody his views has seemed to cause an awful lot of heartache to his family.

but then if he had really wanted to leave it all, resign from the royal family, he could have done that and lived quietly somewhere, like the japanese princess did.

I feel sorry for Harry and William - what a sad start to their lives. It's obviously affected them both differently. They do seem like very different people.

I feel sorry for all the royal family. It's hard to imagine being born into a life that dictates your job, where you live, your future and keeps you and everyone you love, including your children, in the public eye for all of your days. The press gaze and constant judgement must be relentless.

All enough to drive you mad I should think.

Harry (is portrayed) in such negative terms as vindictive, selfish, spiteful and cruel.
No. Harry has portrayed himself as such, through his own (ghost-written )words.

I think he's a bit of a tosser...he needed to stay in the US now .....he's made his bed

I think the support given to each of the brothers by their respective wives says a lot about how they have subsequently coped with things.

The two brothers are different personalities. Add to this, Harry was 12 and William 15 when their mother died. There’s some research indicating children less than 12 years when their parent died were more likely to experience depression than those who lost a parent in adolescence.
I’m sympathetic to both these young men. I dislike the way some people portray William as the good brother and Harry in such negative terms as vindictive, selfish, spiteful and cruel.

Yes. We do know that she contacted several footballers on Twitter and asked her friend Lizzie Cundy to find her a nice English man.

i think she set her sights on him, was looking for an aristo and hit the jackpot.
and then led him astray. but he was easily led.

harry was a happy man, remember him laughing and having fun with william and kate, many photos of the three of them he was okay,............then his wife told him how unhappy he should be. so he became that way..
well what did you expect OP?

I wish him well as I would anyone. I just wish he’d shut up.

Gagajo yes, same here

Walking away from a life he cannot deal with has most people's support.

Turning on those who tried to help him, no matter how inept they were in doing it fills me with nothing but contempt.

I have every sympathy for Prince Harry because the death of his mother affected him deeply. Understandably.
The problem is that no one seems able to help him because he doesn't appear to want to help himself. It is all becoming very tiresome.

Personally I don’t think suffering pain is a reason to inflict it on others.

Others have lost a parent at an early age but have gone on to do good and be kind.

I used to really like Harry and I loved it when he married Megan. I thought she and he together would blow a breath of fresh air into the royal family.
Note that is all past tense.

Ditto. Me too.
I think he's been spiteful and cruel. What does he hope to achieve by it?

I'm certainly not going to get offended on the queens behalf.

As I've said before, lots on here say they have one child who is more sensitive trouble than their others.

Each to their own and i am not knocking anyone's view, we're all able to put our feelings down without raising the roof.

Brilliant

The thing is, Oldwoman70, we don't all agree with the anti H&M brigade. But they just shout louder.
