Well done Harry for speaking up.
As part of his gazillion $$$ Netflix deal.
Now there’s a coincidence 
On the front of today’s DT
THE Duke of Sussex has accused the Royal family of “total neglect” and of “bullying him into silence” as he revealed the Prince of Wales had told him that as he had suffered, his sons would suffer too
Prince Harry, 36, underwent a highly personal therapy session on camera for his new Apple TV documentary series, discussing traumatic memories from his childhood.
A “highly personal therapy session on camera” - that beggars belief.
Isn’t the point of therapy that it is personal, private and confidential? And this from somebody who wanted to keep his private life, well, private?
What next? Spare us the ins and outs of their private lives on camera - please.

Well done Harry for speaking up.
As part of his gazillion $$$ Netflix deal.
Now there’s a coincidence 
At some time in the future, he will have to stop thinking about himself all the time.
He has talked about his fears at returning for Philip's funeral. Perhaps he should have stopped thinking about himself and thought about the grief and pain that the Queen and also Prince Charles were feeling. It was etched on their faces for all to see.
He has a wife he loves, a toddler and will soon have a baby daughter, and should be thinking of them, not of himself all the time.
Harry and Meg have been a couple for four years, before he met her his life was torture, all those years of panic attacks, of fear, only loved by one person and for only 11 years .
Yes he should be concentrating on his own little family and leave his extended family out of it. I am not quite sure what he hopes to gain by his comments,either personally or publicly.
Poor little rich guy, so sad that the only way he can make a living is to “dish the dirt” on the family.
Poor bloke. He's carried the fallout from the actions of a dysfunctional family who certainly would not be told what they "should" be doing. His dad had no truck with being told what he should do, completely determined to have his own way regardless of anyone's opinion and, in the main, seems to have escaped censure.
The consequences of that self centered willfulness are on public view today. Maybe there 'should' have been a little bit less of the 'don't do as I do, do as I say' attitude. A bit more empathy maybe?
Harry is a sad young man but the only thing that makes him unique is his membership of the RF, which he is publicly trashing. I can't see the him ever being welcomed back to the UK and he has little to offer the US once he's done his public therapy. What then? His future doesn't look very bright to me.
Nannee49 Charles has had more criticism than any other member of the family, criticism not deserved.
Reading the accounts of Diana's life following the interview I was struck by how gullible she was, and how resolutely she refused to listen to any advice. She was estranged from members of her family and some friends and could not understand how appalled the Royal family and her staff were by her disclosures; she was intent on portraying herself as a victim and thought 'her' public agreed with her.
What is frightening, and I mean that seriously, is how Harry is following his mother's dangerous example, manipulated by his wife and Winfrey and a collection of American PRs intent on making money. Separated from his family, alienated from his friends, and removed from the wise counsel of those who know him and have his best interests at heart, he has no thought for the consequence of his actions. Fine if his ramblings were confined to America, but they are widely reported here and cause increasing offence to those who liked him.
He has said 'I've got a great deal of my mum in me; the only way to free yourself and break out is to tell the truth.'
Just like her he does not see how his version of the truth portrays his immaturity, causes great hurt to those he traduces, and ultimately, to himself.
I would love to ring him up and have a chat; do you honestly think he would listen? Just as his mother refused to listen to the advice of the police who repeatedly offered protection, and ultimately, Dodi Fayed's bodyguard.
Indeed a system such as the royal family produces extremely damaged individual. Or uses damaged individuals if its suits their needs. And obviously we the public are complicit in that. We feed the never ending soap opera.
Yes eazbee Harry is on the same road as his mother, because
she was adored ! by many does he think he too will be adored.
I am curious why the royal family are classed a dysfunctional family, are they the only family in the country to have divorces.
eazybee Well said. I totally agree.
When news of the crash came through the boys were with their grandparents at Balmoral, I believe it was Tony Blair wo insisted the Queen should return to London. What was the choice? Stay there and watch him stir things up. Return to London and leave the boys there with staff. Return to London and bring them with her. I think the big mistake was taking them out to look at all the flowers in front of a gaping crowd. Whose bright idea was that so soon after the crash.
There was not a gaping crowd at the gates of Balmoral, has it
been said those children didn’t want to see the flowers ?
I agree with you eazybee.
It isnt divorces is it though, its mistresses, its whatever love is, its interviews, its associations with sexual predators, its duty above everything even, it's all played out on a public stage, that's the issue.
These sort of issues are common in many families. The difference is that other families don’t play it all out on the public stage. That is exactly the issue. Harry needs to stop airing his problems to the world, it’s inappropriate behaviour. Other families don’t do it, neither should he.
It's been played out on a public stage for my whole life, this is just the next chapter, while we continue to support it, we continue to get what we ask/pay for.
But we didn’t ask Harry to go to America and air it all to the world.
You didnt ask Charles to say whatever love is, you didnt ask Andrew to associate with Epstein, you didn't ask fergie to suck toes, you dont have control over people and surely woulnt want to. It's just part of the soap opera. I am sure archie or possibly one of Williams children will provide the next drama.
Galaxy it has not been played out on the public stage , until
Diana, things have been printed in the press, this is not the fault of the family.
As for the constant references to ‘what ever in love means’ ,
this was asked of someone who didn’t speak of emotions and I
think a silly question to ask, no different to asking - ‘do you love each other’. Was anyone here asked this question when they became engaged ?
I certainly think he was right about the trauma of dealing with all those total strangers weeping and wailing about his mother. Going to see the flowers was probably wrong too, I noticed Charles held his hand the whole time. They would have been better off staying quietly in Scotland and would probably have been much happier with a quiet family funeral.
There was a lot of talk about them going to church the morning she died, but William has said he found it helpful.
Harry is a very troubled should perhaps more then anyone knew. He does contradict himself though in the past he has talked of how William encouraged him to get help so I find it hard to believe if he had gone to him for help he would not have received it.
As this was aired on Apple TV if the newspapers weren’t full of it how many of us would even know about?
It appears to me his therapy is making him worse not better so not sure if it end up putting people off of seeking help.
It also appears to me that he is in danger of using Diana to promote what he is saying,
I hope he does find some peace but I think he should stop laying waste to his family when they are unable to respond.
I hang my head in shame, I shouldn’t post here, one of my sisters had an affair, my younger daughter had an affair, both divorced, one uncle had an affair, one nephew has been married three times and a friend of mine, a priest, was charged with sexually assaulting boys.
No Galaxy I absolutely didn’t ask the RF to do anything. Nor you do have control over other people. But you used the phrase:
we continue to get what we ask/pay for.
I simply informed you that I didn’t ask for anything, including Harry going to America and washing the family dirty linen in public.
