After the news about Bea and Edo's wedding venue this morning, I was having a quick scan to see what Harry would managed to newsbomb them with. Well it seems they scurried around a bit and finally got themselves into the evening news. Well done Harry and Meghan, don't get caught napping when you have family to compete with for publicity [roll eyes]
I'm rolling my eyes that someone has even bothered to post this spiteful post in the first place ! A decision has been made, it's happening so move on!
I felt a bit sad about Harry's talk, it was so self centred. How long will people want to listen to him going on and on about how he has been treated? I also felt sad because he could have used this opportunity to highlight some of the causes that he is passionate about, in particular the Invictus Games, where he really has done exceptional work. I thought his new life was to enable him to really make a difference through this sort of thing.
It's fairly usual for people with depression to become a bit self-centred and introverted, which is almost certainly not their fault or under their control at the time.
The only thing that I'd take issue with in this new drive to have mental illness acceptable is that it shouldn't be forgotten that depression etc are illnesses to be hopefully cured one day, and not something to be worn like a badge of honour, or like one of those Help For Heroes wrist bands. I am sometimes concerned that Harry is blurring the distinction. I don't want to start seeing Celebrity Depression emerging as the new fashion - these things always seem to leave the ordinary suffering person still no better off or better provided for.
William has spoken of his problems and listens to others with problems . Harry only speaks of his problems , he has become a celebrity depression sufferer .
It is understood the Duke gave a speech at the 1 Hotel on Miami’s South Beach in support of Reform Alliance, a prison campaign charity, which wants to change the “laws, policies and practices that perpetuate the horrific injustices” it says are rife within the American criminal justice system.
This was from Friday's Telegraph.
Was he ever interested in changing the laws and policies of UK prisons?
Does he actually know anything about the American criminal justice system?
Would there have been nothing more than a tenuous link to his own mental health issues?
